Monarch have just released there flight for winter 2016
I'm getting some absolutely horrendous prices for a flight at the end of February ,Manchester to Innsbruck.. ....Over £400 return !,
WTF is going on with the flights to Innsbruck. 
Over £700 return at Easter 3-10th April
as well !!!!
Is it just them trying to cash in ??
Last 3 years I have paid less then 100 euros for the Thursday flight Innsbruck to manchester.
Is it just me??

@hedley, thanks, I've been waiting for Monarch as last week I was told they would be available to book on 1st May and then they weren't!
Me too-for a March return flight Manchester to Innsbruck £641 without ski carriage or luggage. Gatwick was £330 again without luggage.

@VolklAttivaS5, ridiculous prices.
What is going on? My February dates are not school hols either.
Last year it was under 100 euros for a return (one way)flight at the same weekend!!!

@hedley, strange. Me too-no holiday dates here I thought it was off peak time.
I think maybe it's to capitalise on the keen early bookers? Or maybe they will get even more expensive as time goes on!?
Think I'm going to have to wait for Easyjet Liverpool prices to come out. Or fly to Munich and get a longer transfer. There might not be much in it once the cost of the transfer goes up.
Hmmm time will tell.

Just checked directly on the Monarch website and it is my outward that's £280 on its own, the inward is only £50. Maybe it's because my outward was on a Thursday.....
Hmmm think I will change my dates around a bit to suit!

Would never even consider Cowboy Airlines (aka Monarch) after last winter's carry on. They cancelled one leg of our Manchester - Friedrichshafen flights about six weeks before departure - after we had booked seven months previously.
Ended up flying from Stansted to Memmingen - so out of pocket on airport hotel and parking and a lot more inconvenient.
Not an isolated cancellation apparently

The prices for half term flights for February 2016 have been horrendously high since March. I was hoping to do a self booking ski holiday next Feb but the price of 4 x flights with prices at the minute make a package holiday seem very reasonable and probably a cheaper option.

easyJet have already released their Winter 2016 flights but it looks like Liverpool - Innsbruck has been discontinued.

@Gaza, they have, but only up until 28th Feb so can't get any March flights yet with them even from Gatwick. I contacted Easyjet the other week to ask when can I expect March flights to be available so I could see what they had going for this trip and they said anytime in the next few months.
Shame they've got rid of the Liverpool route.
Luckily where I live I can do Manchester Liverpool or Gatwick and it's all about the same.

@ringingmaster, they do. I'm quite happy with mine now at less than £200 return including skis and 23kg luggage I think that's the cheapest Innsbruck flight I've ever had with everything included I mean. It may be because in the past I've booked an Innsbruck flight later than now.
£400-£700 return just to Austria is crazy though I wouldn't bother at that price.

This is interesting! @lampbus and I have just booked flights Gatwick - Innsbruck with Monarch (oneway) on the 10am flight on Saturday 19 December. This is def. the cheapest flight to Innsbruck we have ever been able to find - £225 for two including 23kg (x2) of luggage and ski carriage (x1 - we might add a second one depending on what we decide to take).
Easyjet and Thomas Cook were already close to double that for the same date!

I hope that is the case. I'm going to hang on a bit and risk it as I'm not paying 400-700 for Manchester to Innsbruck.
You would be seriously miffed if you paid 0ver the odds fir the price to drop a few hundred a. Few weeks later.

if you book with easyJet and the flight prices later go down you can, I think, get the difference as a credit towards a future flight. You probably only have to hang on to their premium rate customer service line for a few days to achieve that.....

@hedley, have you checked the Gatwick price for the same dates? As it will probably be cheaper to go from there instead even if you have to stay in a hotel the night before? You would probably still save a few hundred pounds.
