kev, ours is now £100 more for both of us, and it was £80 more last week when they "cancelled" it. Probably double by the time we go. You are dead right with EJ - the earlier the cheaper. But bad for your nerves and blood pressure when you get the dreaded email....

Hope to see you soon
Phil

Hi, Phil/Kev.
                   I understand the earlier you book flights , the cheaper they are.
                   Do they reserve the right to charge more after you have paid, or
                   have I misunderstood? If they do charge more, they must
                   use the excuse of fuel surcharges. Total rip-off if they do.

Hi Paul

Never happened to us yet, but wouldn't put anything past them. Sad we won't meet you this summer, but there's always next year.... and with any luck whenever you come we will...

I booked our March/April flights last July. Flying from Bristol, two passengers & 2 x luggage. Cost £149.57. Today it costs £488.82. An incredible rise of £339.25.
Definitely pays to book early.

The same has happened to the package holidays, it's nearly £400 more expensive now to when we booked last year.

Hi there: hoping to get back to Arillas this June after a few (long!) years of absence.

Has anyone used a company Airflights.co.uk to book flights to Corfu.  They appear kosher - flights from Belfast which are expensive are around £28 /£30 cheaper with this agency.

Would appreciate hearing any experience with this company as we want to get booked up fast.

Many thanks

Jeanette and Alan

I've booked flights with them several times in the past, but never to Corfu, and they have always been fine.

We travel from Belfast and there seem to be very few flights this year so we have booked with Jet2 from East Midlands - about £320 return for both of us.  Our Ryan air flights have cost about£100 for both and 1 overnight room at the airport £50.  More hassle I know but we then will have 3 glorious weeks in Arillas!!  The third week supplement from Belfast was always very expensive.

We booked through Charter flight a while ago they got us a thomson flight for May at a very good price and when I looked this morning it is now £357 dearer then it was then if you go straight to Thompson and still the same price if you go through the agent. Would have thought it would have been the other way round. Wierd or what. Viv
