Cheap Flights

Does anybody know of any really cheap flights going to Spain from England? I'd be travelling from the Midlands probably to Malaga? Any suggestions?

Ryanair Birmingham to Malaga were cheap last week!

Ryan air flights always seem to be the cheapest but it does annoy me that a flight to murcia spain for 1p ends up being £75

By the time you add on tax, booking fees, card fees, luggage and priority boarding.

and now i think they are just about to start another fee but cant remember what it is for!!

Still not a bad price to get to spain.

Oh one thing that you all may find usefull you can avoid some of the booking charges if you have a card with electron on it.

Our debit card for the caixa bank has it on so if you have a spanish bank account check your cards to see!!

I have just booked aflight from Alicante to Gatwick return..I looked at both Easy jet and Ryan air..The Ryan air flight looked cheaper but..You have to book your ticket on line. which costs 5 euros..I couldn't find any way to take a suitcase and as I wanted to pay in sterling, I checked their exchange rate which is 1 Pound sterling = 1 euro. I tried hard to book a suitcase without success so I booked with Easy jet. They do give a fair exchange rate pound/euro and allow 20 kilos instead of Ryan Air's 15 Thats if you can find out how to book a suitcase.in...With the tourist numbers dwindling I think Ryan Air are going to have big problems with their attitude to the paying public.

Hevs..What is electron.. I have a Barclays connect visa debit card which has a pigeon on the back..I always tick the electron box and it goes through, saving me a few pounds.

I have read recently that Ryan air are going to do away with check in desks..maybe thats why I couldn't book in a suitcase.

It appears that since Wednesday Ryan Air have got rid of check in desks, so once at the airport you have to put your own case on the conveyor belt...can't wait to try that!!! All bookings have to be done on line now, or you have to pay a fortune to do it on line at the airport...something like 40 euros if you don't have the correct paperwork. They were talking about the new syatem on Viva TV the other day.

Electron is marked on a credit card usually......I wonder if BankCaja do one, instead of the regular Visa, which costs more to process payments. I'll have to ask them.

Not sure what the electron means but it has the logo visa electron and is on a debit card for la caixa. I also have a bancaja card but this is visa and does not show electron.

His latest 'idea' is to make passengers stand for flights! He's a pr genius!
