Wheres the best place to book flights only? I have been on a flight since 2018 and I'm very under travelled so would like to know how to get the cheapest deals. Thanks

@InterestedinEfteling Easyjet make it deliberately confusing so you buy their overpriced bundles. Ryanair does the same.

Well I've just repriced the flights I need and it's now only £604 for the 4 of us vs with the package was £885! So thank you 😊

@InterestedinEfteling you're welcome!
Just remember you aren't guaranteed to be seated together unless you pay for it.

Booking flights is getting ridiculous now. Thee are about three different levels of each class, depending on how much luggage you want.
I'm trying to book flights going into Miami and out of Orlando and the permutations are endless.

Remember prices are dictated by supply and demand, and they go both up and down in price frequently. They have more tendancy to go down as you get closer to the travel dates, they probably don't go down so much if you are booking 6 months in advance. If I'm not tied to a specific date I usually monitor prices repeatedly for weeks and book when they hit a price I think is acceptable. I got return flights to Malta over Easter for £80 per person plus luggage. I was going to book when the price was £120 per person, but realised the return flight (which was more the expensive journey at that time) was half empty when I got to the seat allocations, so I held off on booking. It's probably not a strategy for the faint hearted though.

One thing I’ve learned with budget airlines, though: that low price doesn’t cover much. They’ll tack on extra charges for bags, seat selection, and even carry-on bags sometimes, so it’s good to know what’s included upfront. If you’re up for a bigger adventure, like heading to Asia, checking out Business Class Flights to Asia can sometimes surprise you with decent deals, and the upgrade makes those long-hauls a lot nicer.

Booking flights can be a headache sometimes. The best way to start is by checking out a few different sites to compare prices. Sometimes, those budget airlines seem like a deal, but when you add on all the extra fees, it might not be worth it. Also, try to book in advance if you can—prices tend to go up closer to the travel date. And, if you’re flying long haul or want a little extra comfort, I’d recommend looking into First Class Flights. It's not just about luxury; the extra space and better service can make a big difference, especially on longer flights.

On the easyjet website it will only let me add a checked luggage bag for all of us (2 adults and 2 children) whereas ideally I'd only like to add 1 checked suitcase. Is this possible?

Yes
