Easy jet used to be my. Go too and is now insane.

I just looked at eur!!

ostar and for 4 of us to get the train to Paris 1,100

The ferry wasn't much cheaper bearing in mind fuel costs.

Are there any tips? Perhaps booking from the French side or something...

But EasyJet at Easter was cheap, paid £21 out £32 back. Look on different days ideally, saved a fortune travelling on Wednesdays

We're flying air France Manchester to Paris for about 60 quid one way. But it's term time

@notimagain.. I've been looking for a while now even the day the easy jet new flights were released

Fair enough, FWIW the revenue management people at airlines are well aware of when peak demand will occur on the various routes. Tickets on flights during the high demand dates will almost always be a high price, right from the date of release.

As a general point the likes of Easyjet and Ryanair aren't always anything like the cheapest option these days so it's always worth checking other carriers but I know for some travellers it's departure and destination airports that drive the choice as much as cost.

Thanks @notimagain I will do sky scanner. I just trusted and like easy jet but I'm out priced.

We’ve just got to France today. Eurotunnel was £209 return.

@Floofyduffypuddy we are going second week of august about lunchtime.
Lots of trains for about £50 per trip per person when we booked a few days ago. Maybe because we're not going first thing. That's on a Monday.
