Thanks to all for your replies and confirming I am not going doolally!!
Oh well its back to the drawing board to find/wait for a cheaper flight and accumulate those miles!!
Paxboy, living in Aberdeen we only have Ryanair to Dublin and Easy Jet to Luton so sadly no cheap Europe deals here. In fact Easy Jet fly to Munich from EDI and as we fly into MUC quite a bit every time I price from EDI it is more expensive than ABZ-AMS-MUC
