Cheap flights to Cyprus??

[mike325112]

Does anyone anyone fly to Cyprus regularly? I'm taking the other half and our little one (6 months now so will still be under 2 when we go) to Cyprus in September, for a mates wedding. Got some accomdation sorted just looking at flights now and it seems quite expensive, although I've never been to Cyprus and haven't got a clue about prices.

Does £500 for the three of us seem about right flying from Brum?

I've always found it cheaper to get a package deal to Cyprus rather than just the flights.

Have a look on Teletext holidays.

It's not a bad price for that kind of distance.

I just paid £500 for a return from Heathrow to Aberdeen (economy).

Cheers for the replys - The flights I have found are scheduled flights with Monarch (they are cheaper than easyjet from Luton) so would be convenient with the little one. Do Monarch usually have sales in January?

We went last year to visit relatives and found a two week holiday (£1000) cheeper than flights only (£1400).

That's only £167 each return (Iassume also incl all taxes). £83 to go one way for 4 hours on a plane seems like a bargain to me.

when you put it like that it does not seam bad but bear in mind that one of us will be 15 months and therefore won't have a seat... Easyjet charge half a ticket price for the privilage of you carrying a nipper on your lap, I guess that they are all fairly similar.

No they don't - infant ticket is about 25 quid return.

I've been going for the last 3 or 4 years now and usually use Cyprus Airways out of Brum. (much, much better than anyone else)
The price always seems to be about £1k for 4 of us but Easyjet do a flight from Luton that can be quite a bit cheaper, although I'm guessing September is still high season so could still be pricey.
