Any one know roughly when the budget airlines issue their winter flight schedules? which month for example?

Last year, Easyjet was June, Ryanair (which I wouldn't touch with a barge pole....) July/August I think

Don't worry. It just means you may have to stay forever!

boredsurfin, only the outward journey, we don't cross enough times to take advantage of the frequent user scheme, and my Tesco vouchers pay for them, so the earlier I book the cheaper the fare.

You know it makes sense.
|
Ray,
Easyjet and Jet2 both say that it is 3 months after the end of the current (winter) timetable. If you put yourself on their emailing list they will notify you when the new winter flights become available.

I wish I could be so organised, I know Iam going I'm just not sure which day yet |
One of the many great things about Eurotunnel, apart from the fact that you get free crossings with Tesco vouchers, is that you can change your mind about when you go and, very often, not have to pay any more, even if you originally booked early and got it cheap. I've never quite worked out their system, but it's great to know it's flexible, and also that if you turn up early you don't have to wait around till the crossing you've booked.

pam w, but my only problem is I have now had to stop shopping at Tesco, so this lot of vouchers will be the last.

Mosha Marc, I have even looked at KLM via Leeds and Teesside to GVA, okay there is an hour in Schipol but they work out just under £200 each.

Frosty the Snowman, cheers, that's more in the ballpark - I may be looking hard at those this weekend.

Thomson is £1500 for my family over Easter, paid £750 last year, and around half that the year before with Jet2, I hope this isn't a sign of pricing to come......

We now always go skiing at Easter, over the last couple of years we've found Swiss / BA to be better value over Easter than the budget airlines, for example for Easter 08 we're flying Heathrow > Basel for less than £100 p/p return with BA, Saturday flights with good times, no charges for ski carriage to boot. There's four of us so that's quite a saving.

With variation in school holidays for next Easter (many schools will have their spring break away from the Easter bank holiday itself) it might be possible to get flights for a sensible price rather than a 'school holiday' price.

Unfortunately I live in Leeds so driving to Heathrow ain't an option........
BA from Manchester to Geneva is £66 out PP, and £228 back PP

Schools around here have their holiday in the first two weeks of April (which I think might be the pattern for future years, regardless of when Easter falls).

Really ? I'm in Sheffield and Heathrow, while not ideal, is certainly worth the extra hour and half drive (as opposed to Manchester) to save that sort of money. If travelling at weekends or for early flight it's a total doddle down the M1, 2 hrs 45 door to door.

kitenski, Manchester to Lyon with BMI ? Just checked, it's about £200 return going out Easter Saturday, about half of that on the Sunday or the Saturday the following week.

Heathrow is 3+ hours for me assuming no traffic, Leeds Bradford is 20 mins, parking is probably half the cost in Leeds as well.....
It's just not worth the hassle for me and young kids IMHO, going out is probably ok, coming back late on the Sunday from Heather before school isn't really an option....
Jet2 haven't issued their winter flights yet, so I hope they are reasonable....

Greg
