slhw Posted January 27, 2014 #1 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Just totally puzzled after our cruise on Celebration was booked. We normally fly from Manchester but, thankfully, discovered that it is £199 EACH cheaper to fly from Luton with comparable flight times. It is far cheaper for us to drive to Luton, about £50 for diesel and £25 for parking. Have looked at other holidays. Sometimes there is a small difference, other ties none at all. Totally mystified!

Tina.w12 Posted January 27, 2014 #2 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I've just checked a cruise in April and it's £800 cheaper to fly from Bristol than Manchester!!! Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geomagot Posted January 27, 2014 #3 Share Posted January 27, 2014 often see this with manchester....probably down to availability? (demand & supply) once the aircraft is getting close to fully booked up, the prices soar whereas a less popular airport (bristol/luton etc) sometimes struggles to fill up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeholiday2 Posted January 27, 2014 #4 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Tell us about it!!! We often get stung up here. There was a long spell when they wanted around £3000 each for Dream over Christmas, it was £1000 each less from Gatwick. Some of the flights from Scotland are expensive too.

We had the same last year looking at Donny ,East -Mids and Manchester then I had to look twice at Stanstead which had better flight times and saved us just short of £1,000 :cool:. So we booked that and had a night next door to the Airport in the Prem Inn . Maybe its almost 3Hrs away but for them sort of savings I tend to bite their hand off ;):D Edited January 27, 2014 by kalos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just did a wee comparison on the website for our cruise on Celebration June 16th for 2 weeks flying from GLW. All are base prices with "No fuel Suppliment". Glasgow: £1242 Edinburgh: £1285 Newcastle: £1314 Manchester: £1440 Stansted: £1206 Gatwick and Heathrow: £1539 For once it looks like Scotland has done not so badly!
