Flight or package?

<< < (9/11) > >>

loftyscot:
I agree, most people go with the price.

What I have noticed now is that jet2 now fly to Corfu from Scotland next summer but the prices are c£300 pp mark for July. Prices to Malaga and Faro for the same period are about £100 pp cheaper. Makes me wonder why the price is so much dearer as the flight is only about 20 mins longer.

We used Ryan Air from Edinburgh twice this year, the flights cost under £200 each. Thomsons £480! Our first stay was at Fedra Mare in May which was only 300 euros for a week, our second stay in July/Aug  was at Nondas two weeks 500 euros including transfers. However I would be booking with who ever was cheapest.
Then I would have more spending money to give to the local economy. We have used Thomsons twice in recent years, but it was a late booking and half the price it should have been, but we didn't book through Thomsons we used their internet site, Holiday Hypermarket which was  an extra 20% below the Thomsons price. Lofty; Are you thinking of returning to SS next year  :)

For example do you generally buy your petrol/diesel from the local independent petrol station struggling to make ends meet at about £1.50 p/l or do you go to your nearest corporate battleship like the Tesco/Asda type outlets and pay £1.36 p/l.

Just asking like.....  ;)

As I said - we have to go in high season - school hols - and ours worked out at £280 cheaper than cheapest package this year.  Am sure we could have saved more money if we had booked flights earlier - but there was a crowd of us and had to wait for a group decision.  I like to go independently if I can.  I take on board what you say Lofty and do try to use local produce, butchers, deli, greengrocers etc - so do try always................
