Would you pay for new flights ? Help please

[milooowud]

Going to Tenerife next month for 4 nights
Booked flights with Ryanair
Flight is at 11-45 am
Gets there for 4.30pm
Only paid £60 for both

Had a look and there's a jet 2 flight which leaves at 8.45am and gets there for 1.30pm

It's £110 for both of us

Would you change to get there earlier ?
Considering it's a short trip
Or just keep flights we have ?

I’d leave it as it is. It’s not that much earlier.

Depends which resort you're in (transfer time) and return flight time, and how far from uk airport you live.

I’d stick with it but make a note to research ALL the options before booking next time!

No, it's only 3 hours difference

The transfer time is 20 mins from airport if that
We are staying in Golf Del sur

Can you get to the airport for 6am easily?

I wouldn’t bother. You’d need to be at airport very early - is that achievable? Fwiw I’d have booked the earlier flights, but would stick to what you’ve got. If there was a short delay you’d feel really seen off!

You need to se what time you can check into your accommodation before you change flight times.

I wouldn't for the sake of 3 hours, you'll be seriously pissed off if it's delayed 😄

Absolutely not.

Absolutely not bother. In fact I think you'd be insane to do this. There's no guarantee the earlier flight won't have delays, and imagine how mad you'd be to see the Ryanair flight taxiing away if you were still stuck in the terminal!

Also, the later flight let's you enjoy a lie in and a relaxed morning leaving more energy for your first night out.

Finally, regional airports tend to be a lot busier around the 6am mark, so extra stress again.

Thanks everyone that's a help
I'm the worst decision maker
This later flight gives us a lie in and like you say imagine if the flight was delayed by even a hour-I would be fuming.
Plus landing at half 4 isn't bad is it
Should be at hotel for 6
So still time to enjoy a night

In my view the later flight is better.

No way. An 8.30 flight means you have to get there at 6.30, so up at 4?

I never sleep properly when I have those very early morning flights. The 11.45 one is much more civilised and you'll feel much better.

No I wouldn't. Not worth it for a few hours.

I would change it...but that's because I much prefer Jet2 to Ryanair! Also getting up at a civilised hour will mean you have a nicer first day.

Are you flying to Tenerife South from the UK? If so, the flight is usually 4 hours and about half hour transfer by Taxi at most, depending on where you're going.

For the price I wohld just stick with what you've got

Think that's a resounding don't bother
I think the extra 3 hours would be nice but not £100 nice

It's a long way to go for 4 days, in terms of it being nearly 7 hours before you arrive there so it depends why you are going?

To fly and flop, I'd stick with the flights. To go for a fit as much of the island as can in, I'd go earlier

@YellowphantGrey literally just to relax
Don't plan on leaving the hotel
Just booked a nice hotel /all inclusive and just want some sunshine
We have been lots of times now so already seen most of the island /trips etc in the past

Are you a flights refundable? Sounds like a lot of hassle- keep it as it is.
It’s not that much time difference if the hand luggage (assuming you’re just taking hand luggage ) is much more expensive than the first flight then change it otherwise just leave it
