It is often worth looking at flights a few days earlier or later than you initially select. We looked at going to Spain in early March and whichever airline and routes selected, all came out around £120 for 2 returns once all the fees and taxes included. Whilst not expensive, we then accidentally found Ryanair offering £15 all in a couple of days earlier, so have the flights for £60. Had we an Electron card we would have avoided the £5 per person per flight surcharges amounting to another £20. We don't need hold luggage and will refrain from food or drink purchases (when will they learn that a little from the many is better than a lot from a few?). Once the summer schedules come in, then we will probably return to our favoured carrier and route, but in the meantime we have a break "on the cheap" that we would possibly not have taken at the higher prices due to inconvenient airports and times.
