As Steph posted on here a few days ago (Thanks Steph !) Jet2 have got some very good flight prices for 2015 knocking about. We booked for May next year (school half term) at £270 each return including 22kgs and allocated seats. We paid about £250 for May 2014 with Easyjet and the flight times are slightly better with Jet2 and you get a better luggage allowance.
Happy Days

Happy to have been of help Truth! :)  Really good prices with Jet2 at the moment - though previously they have been more expensive than Thomsons!

Are you on a relic, sitting next to the rear gunner Jo? :D :D 
Who's that with, it's an amazing price!  Certainly swipes my smugness at my Jet2 price off my face :)

Absolute bargain Jo.   Especially when there are 4 of you in your party.  Enjoy Marinaki and your swing.     Ron.

This year we decided to go to our other favourite Greek home Haraki in Rhodes late June to 10th July, booked direct and flew with Easyjet from Liverpool, it was hot 40c in the shade most days and the odd 45c.
Returning home it was decided by she who should be obeyed that we should return to Arillas. No success with any of the tour operators, so having enjoyed our booking to Rhodes we went down this route.

End result back to Arillas 12th September for two weeks, staying at Arillas studios, these were the first studios we stayed at on our first visit to Arillas some 25 years ago, they were called Harris in those days.

The cost works out at £400 each for the flights, accommodation including air con and taxi transfers.

Not sure now if we will go down the tour operator route again.

Ah Dave and Edna, we stayed at those studios many years back and have fond memories. Think they were called Charisis when we stayed. Glad you are going back x
