Title: flights 28 May 2016/4 June 2016
Post by: Sinbad on September 01, 2015, 10:08:41 AM
Hi everyone

We are bringing our whole family to Arillas next Whitsun school hols (13 of us) if possible.  We have found accommodation but we need to organise flights.  I don't want to book the accommodation until I know we have reasonably priced flights from our local airports (some will be coming from Humberside/Doncaster Sheffiield/Nottingham/East Midlands - others from London and the main party from South Wales Cardiff/Bristol/Birmingham).

I've been looking and have not found any Sat / Sun flights - only Friday (which is a problem as some are teachers and therefore need to be travelling on the weekend only, so far and the only ones I've found are £700+ which is far too expensive for us.

Can anyone give any advice

all help would be very gratefully received.

many thanks
Pam

Hello Sinbad. I only know about Bristol / Gatwick, but hope this helps.

The Easy Jet flights from Bristol for dates after 31 March are not yet released (I just tried your dates on the website.) They will be quite soon, and I will book the moment they are - the prices shoot up within hours / days of release. We often get the tip-off on here when they are released, from a wonderful member called Thorpe, and book immediately.

We have already booked our accommodation at Bardis Sun Studios, on the arrangement that we will confirm as soon as we have the flights. They are very kind if there is a slight adjustment in the exact dates, but usually it is straightforward. They book our transfer by taxi.

Best of luck with your huge task! Seems hard enough for just two of us!
Phil

Doncaster is our local airport and they fly to Corfu on Mondays and Fridays only.  However, there are no budget airlines flying from Doncaster to Corfu - only Thomsons, and they are very very expensive if you haven't booked a package with them. 
Good luck!

We fly from Manchester with Easyjet but flights not out yet for June/July - will be out about beginning of October. We have also flown with Thomsons from Doncaster but that was part of a package deal. We have also flown with Thomas Cook from East Midlands.

Easyjet and Ryanair flights are not released yet.I think Jet2 flights are out but I fear that any flights that include the school holidays are likely to be expensive.    Best of luck though.      Ron.

Have you checked with Norwegian.com? From Finland, they only fly to Corfu in the high season, but for instance London should be another matter. Very good prices, usually.
