Anyone good at finding flights?

I need to book flights to La Rochelle in August, from London. (I'd really like Heathrow if possible but that's not crucial.) All I can find is Ryanair from Stansted, and I really don't want to go Ryanair (because Michael O'Leary is so utterly loathsome and I don't want to give him my money).

How can I find alternative providers?

Thank you...

Have you tried the Airline Network?

Thanks DDF - they don't fly on Fridays (which is when I need I need the flights)

Thanks for that link Sunshine, but nothing's coming up on my dates.

How about flying to Poitier, Nantes or Bordeaux. How about the train www.seat61.com/France.htm#Rennes

Thanks lapsed, but no

I'm stuck with loathsome Leary (either that or the train, but have promised the DSs a flight - they haven't flown before).

Feckin RyanAir. I bet they bugger us about as well.

Yes - they're vile aren't they?

Good luck, hope you find something.

I'm sure you're all desperate to know, so...
I decided I couldn't face RyanPooh so rang Canvas Holidays (big up the Canvas massive) who very kindly changed my holiday dates so that I can go with EasyJet from Gatwick instead.

Hooray!

Thanks for all your help.
