Outfoxed the UK airlines.....:)

Silverstar:
So....with Monarch ceasing to fly to SS from Gatwick and it being my preferred airline, last year we flew with Thomson which was fine.

We go indy every year so we only need flights anyway.

However this year we are going for 3 weeks instead of 2 and Thomson refused to quote for 3 weeks which I found to be totally ridiculous.

In addition to this, we are flying home the August bank holiday weekend so flights with Easyjet, Thomas Cook etc are all sky high (over £350 one way....)

So I thought outside the box and decided to fly back with a non UK airline to mitigate the BH price increase.    Soooo we are going outbound with Easyjet for £130 and returning with Norwegian Air for £170.

Well happy and have saved almost £600 for the 3 of us......

Love it when a plan comes together.... ;D

Tredegar Boy:
Well played Silverstar. Never thought about going non-British so to speak. Going to keep that in mind.

Have come across this with Thomson many times- they will only do one or two weeks for a package or flight only- so we now have to do multi trips, which I suspect is the intention as they get more money that way than for one single trip of a month or so. Seems they have hiked the prices up anyway this year way above inflation/monitary matters. For the first time I can recall our May trip is now dearer than September.

Jimbo:
Thomson used to do three weeks, but haven't for the last two or three. I guess they make the money from the flights, rather than the accommodation. It's a real pity.

So - for three weeks or more it has to be "go independent."

Rod:
Well done Silverstar!
