cheap flights?

[wideeyes]

Hi well I am hoping (fingers crossed) for a quick visit to DLRP.
I am just wondering if anyone had any I Ideas on how we can get cheap flights. We fly from Manchester so are only option seems to be BA or Air France.

we don't really want to fly from anywhere else as we are minutes from the airport, an £8 taxi ride.

Any Ideas?

TIA

Virgin also fly from Manchester but they're not what you'd call cheap. You could try The Airline Network but you may find the cheapest flights often have 1, even 2 changes. I looked at some last week that went Manchester / Amsterdam / Memphis / Orlando!

With BA the further out you bookt he cheaper as they work on a set of prices once one tier has been sold it goes to the next, so hoping for a last minute bargain with them is not an option. When are you thinking of going?

hi well I was thinking about early July before the british schools let out for summer. The flights are so far coming in at about £350-£400 pound depending on the time. If I fly out later it is cheaper however I won't be able to go to the park that day. I guess it will save some money on tickets though as well. get a 2 day ticket instead of 3.

Is that price per person or for all of you? How many of you are going? I know what you mean about a later flight not leaving much time though, but you would be at the parks at opening the next day!

It's for 2 adults and 1 child. Its not too bad as the flight is also cheaper flying home later so we should get 2 days in the park if we go for 2 nights. we could spend the first night having a character meal at the village.

Sounds like a plan to me

I've just checked out expedia and there hotel/flight packages are very cheap.
Even when we have added the extra cost of tickets which their prices don't include.
it seems a bit to good to be true.

What are the prices like? Also you need to include transport from the airport to DLRP with either option.

wll at expedia £769 compared to £1245 for a package with TCS.
Transportation is 16 euros each way for an adult.
Booking DIY would be about £900
