Dirt-cheap flight to anywhere?!

[bungle]

My son has never been on a plane (I know, I must be a bad parent etc), and I want to take him on a flight somewhere (anywhere!) for his upcoming birthday.

Can be absolutely anywhere, we'll probably stay in a premier inn or something similar (he also thinks hotels are exciting) and come back the next day. It'll be the most exciting thing EVER for him (again, he obviously has a sheltered life, I am a terrible dad etc).

Anyway... anyone heard of any good (cheap) deals anywhere? It seems kind of pointless just typing in dates/destinations on websites when I'm really not bothered where we go to. Only caveat is: from Birmingham (or, at a push, East Midlands) and probably very late July or anytime August.

If you've seen any £1 deals, pls let me know!

Good luck getting £1 flights in the school holidays.

Only thing I can think if is you may get a cheap flight one way but rarely both, midlands to Scotland/London and fly back?

Can always mess around with dates on skyscanner?

London? Heard 6 quid on the radio - one way

Never heard of skyscanner, will take a look. Ta.

Dublin's about £100 for the two of you, 9am start midweek, back at 9pm the next day. Skyscanner's really useful, my eldest and I are planning to do a flight + night away in autumn/winter half term.

Ryanair to Knock Airport in West of Ireland can be cheap as chips depending on where you are flying from.

Use Skyscanner, depart UK, destination anywhere.

BHX - Dublin on Ryanair, £45 on certain dates in August (e.g. 11-12 August)
BHX - Edinburg on FlyBe, £56 5-6 August

Or look into a light aircraft hourly hire? Ni idea but might be worth 10 mins of leg work.

I once went to San Francisco from Manchester for £114 return. I bet I drank more than that on the transatlantic leg of the flight

Liverpool to Berlin Schoenfeld
(don't expect any luxuries though!)
(and close your eyes if you're heading in to Berlin through the outskirts....its a dump!)
