Finding cheap flights abroad

[Classic Rock 10]

Where is the best place to go for cheap flights? There are so many travel agents and web sites offering cheap flights, I just wondered if anyone had any hints or tips they'd like to pass on?

ebookers.com can sometimes turn up a bargain or two, but nothing rock bottom.

 

otherwise, try google.

These folk - http://www.skyscanner.net/ search all the budget airlines - easyjet, bmi, ryan air etc which you don't tend to get on ebookers etc - I've not used them, but they look pretty good.

Depends where you want to go. Within Europe you get good deals when you buy online with the budget airlines:

http://www.easyjet.com

http://www.ryanair.com (most fly from airports down south)

http://www.flybmi.com

 

Secret is to be flexible about where and when you go and to fly mid week.

I'm trying to find a cheap flight to visit my Sister in Vancouver this Christmas, but the prices rocket at that time of the year.

 

My mate today told me that you can fly cheaply by taking a package over with you. For example in my case from the Canadian Embassy here over to Vancouver.

Has anyone heard of this or got a link/phone number?

I've heard of this being a courier before. Not sure re links but maybe try travel agent or ring the airport?

http://www.courier.org/ - might be worth a look

 

Or if you just want cheap flights check http://www.flightcentre.co.uk/

Where is the best place to go (online OR offline) to get a cheap flight out to malaga (spain) !? ... ideally flying from east midlands or manchester.

[Yodameister 10]

Easyjet definitely do Liverpool to Malaga, I did that last year. Not sure if they do it from E Midlands, but probably do.

[Fireondaroof 10]

Easy Jet have cheap flights to Spain from East Midlands

[Jayne 10]

also, try britanniaairways and air2000.com. Although generally charter flights they also do flight only and it can be quite cheap.
