When you added 'cheap' into your request Al, you lost everyone who might've thrown suggestions your wayAlan Richardson wrote:Not much expierence at this sort of thing, so where, when and how to book a cheap flight. Out on 1st June, back on 3rd. Tried a lot of web sites but they confuse me!

One thing i have found out is that flights advertised dont always turn out to be AS advertised. Quite disgusting really.

The only way to get a relatively cheap flight is to book it months in advance, I'm afraid.

I've flown with Easyjet, Ryanair and Jet2.com and I think they get a bad press unfairly. When you consider the alternative (massively over-priced monopoly prices from BA etc) I think they have done a great job in bringing cheap air travel to a much wider customer base. And I don't see a problem in only paying for what you use (and not paying for what you don't use). The pricing is a lot more transparent than it used to be and...as the old saying goes....if you don't like it, don't use it.
Flying generally seems an unpleasnat experience but the budget airlines are no worse in my experience.
TT = supply and demand in both ferries and planes. At least with the airlines you can book earlier and get it cheaper unlike the Steal Racket.
