Have been looking for a day trip from Manchester/Liverpool in December for a short while. The previous routes I used to use at that time of year (CDG/GVA etc) used to be two flights per day with an early out and a late back. But these have all disappeared of the schedules.
However yesterday managed to book seven seats on MAN/AMS with EZY for about £55 each return inc taxes. That's pretty cheap; I wonder why?
