ganges Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 morning you horrible lot I know times are hard and some of you may not be able to get away this year, but the missus and myself have just booked to go to Spain for 2 weeks, we are doing our own thing, getting a small villa (well a bungalow really), renting a car ect, but what has really p**sed me off is the price of flights, so a bit of a guessing game for you all, how much do you think for two people, with 2 bags, insurance through the airline, seat allocation, inflight meals, on line check in, flying with Jet 2 from Leeds Bradford, to Malaga, end july. for those of you who are not aware of jet2, a little more upmarket than ryanair, sleezy jet ect, anybody else booked/booking, and found flight prices SKY high (sorry the best i could come up with ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee R Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 was more intrested to see if anybody else was having the same sort of issues, no, cos for Spain i'd just jump onto any seat on Ryanair with my own sandwichs for 1/4 of the price You're right though, we went to Cyprus for half that last year!!!
