I need a pair of flights to Rome next Saturday. I say need... More want.

Cheapest I can find it north of £350.

Where is a good place to look and any chance of any bargains still?

Thanks chaps. I've exhausted last minute.com and sky scanner.

Vague is my middle name.

3 nights in Rome leaving sat. Returning tues. That is all the info I've got! We've got a hotel in our name and just need to get there. There are flights but to change names is going to be approx £600...

Pass...

Monday is a lot cheaper to come back that tuesday as you are mixing flights (£324 on tuesday return)

Ryanair does the cheap flights but not everyday or is completely booked on tuesday and as such, you are trying to get 2 singles and its costing you a crap load more.

Or try and do Brummie land:

06:50 BHX – 10:30 FCO
direct
2h 40

11:30 FCO – 13:20 BHX
direct
2h 50

£234 using skyscanner.

Thanks Du1poin8. Will have to play more I think. Do begin to think that we might end up paying through the nose for flights thus negating a free hotel...

wouldnt thank me just yet.

The one I found was with Monarch, not a fan and will never fly them again, so expect some hidden BS with them, plus its from Birmingham too.

But if happy £234 a ticket doesnt sound too bad as long as you stay in the rules of the system.

Hmm not selling it to me.

Was so tempted to drive.... Perhaps it isn't meant to be.
