Maisie

thanks for that Maisie, I have just booked our christmas flights

Booked Oct and christmas from Bristol average £70 head return

our christmas flights were £360 for 2 and that included £10 credit card charge just slightly dearer than last year.

I know its sad, but I've been keeping a record of all flights in a spreadsheet, and based on approximately 7-9 round trips per year, the average per person (hand luggage only) has been:

Average 2006 £95.84
Average 2007 £85.14
Average 2008 £84.75
Average 2009 £70.01

What else can you point to that has a downward trend like this ?

Even house prices over this period haven't been this consistent.

Ours with BA out of Gatwick, 18 Dec to 4 Jan are £282.20 including £8 credit card charge with 2 x 20kg plus hand baggage. Cheaper than and more baggage? than yours.

Have any of you flying out of Gatwick looked at Aer Lingus yet. Try it and have a pleasant surprise

Some Aer Lingus flights to Faro are 0.00 plus taxes, some £4.99 plus taxes, we can fly out end May/begining June for under £50 return..... can't be bad.

Yes yours are cheaper but you are going for slightly longer than us and Standsted for us is only 25 minutes up the road so get a lift from daughter 1 and daughter 2 picks us up on way back and no taxi or car park charges. also just hand luggage.

Our Xmas flights were £231 for 2 and Feb £171. Still something to look forward to

We did get a good deal out of Bristol for once, we are usually one of the more expensive airports.

We always use Bristol and find it as cheap if not cheaper than EMA
