Harumph - just tried aug 4th to the 18th for 2 adults and 2 children £1,449 with luggage!!!!!!!!  Taking the flight times (meaning an extra day used from my hols) and the distance from Whitby area to Manchester, have decided to stick with jet2 or TC

Those with children or people like us (both with jobs in schools) are always going to be stung I'm afraid.... Oh well I always dreaded retirement but this is the one and big advantage....Maybe then we will be able to go twice a year in May and September!

I think I got there too late at around midday for August flights from Gatwick as Thomas Cook flights turned out to be £54 cheaper that SleazyJet.

Absolutely ridiclious prices for a "budget" airline *shaking my head*

But when all is said and done Arillas is soooo worth the money 8)

Well, dramatically higher prices from Bristol for school holidays - way, way up on last year (about 30% more and that was booking almost as soon as the flights came out) - and now, about eight hours since we booked, flights including luggage are now double what we paid last year and £600 more (£150 each) than when they were released.  Expect some return flights in July and August to be around £500 each by later tonight.

This is how any business works and easyJet no different.  Charge as much as you can get away with, especially for those who can't go away outside school holidays.

In fact, Thomas Cook flight only from Bristol - with much better flight times, more leg space and more in the way of in flight options - is now cheaper for many dates than easyjet and Thomson not much more.

At least you know you still got a bargain. I was really surprised at the time they came out this year as my husband checked really early and there was no flights out wasn't
It about 1am last year ?

Its amazing how the price has gone up. I booked 3 seats at 10.00am this morning and by 9.00pm tonight they have gone up by a total of £150 approx.

I forgot to say that I booked seats at the same time last year (Oct 2012) for the same flights that we had this year. For 2013 I paid approx £130 per seat return. For 2014 the same seats on the same flight are £206. These prices include easy boarding and choice of seats. Thats 58% increase, but they are still cheaper than any other airlines going from East Midlands, Birmingham or Luton.

Hope you all enjoy your Arillas experience in 2014. We wont be there next year as we are off to explore Thailand in March. Considering the talk of 'budget' airline prices in this thread, I was chuffed we managed to secure flights from Newcastle-Dubai, Dubai-Bangkok, Bangkok-Krabi using Emirates and Bangkok Airways with meals and 30kg luggage in hold for £700 each return.
