All depends on what you are prepared to do
I showed earlier in the thread with little effort, maybe because I know where to look, London to florida for 448 quid each 18-31 August. If I was to really sit down I could get less I am sure, sort of thing I would look at next if its still not cheap enough is get to new York , and book a separate internal flight with a different airline. You need to tell me what you wont do, your dates and your party and location and I can take it on as a challenge. |

We are going next year beginning of July, do you think £500 is achievable for then? (never been June/early July before)
Is it best to book as soon as flights come out? Or do they drop a bit after release? I know its a case of 'how long is a piece of string?' but just wondering... thanks

June or July, outside the school holiday I would be thinking 350 a head, earliest you can book is august but don't get hung up on booking early, patience is they key, and if you get to a month out and still not happy book something up and accept your lot, it will pay you over a lifetime.
one thing you could do is imagine the dates you have in mind for 2015 and pretend you are going 2014 and price it out as an exercise, again list your party and dates and your nearest airport and I can suggest an itinerary. |

For this year I needed flights that left after 19 July and returned before 21 August (GCSE results day). I live in Newcastle but was prepared to take any route possible. Although if it was totally inconvenient it needed to be very cheap (under £500).
I looked at the Ireland flights, but getting there from Newcastle wasn't cheap and the times were particularly poor. The cost wasn't low enough to justify the inconvenience. I've ended up paying £750 for indirect flights from Manchester via Atlanta. For 4 of us, that means i've paid £1000 more than my target, but I honestly don't think there was a £500 option out there (returning before GCSE results day). Other than some Norwegian flights that I would have snapped up if I'd seen them in the 4 hour window before they sold out. |

Love it! What about a family of 5, leaving 3, 4 or 5th April (2 weeks) - just looking to save (a lot) on flights. Prices have gone so crazy for flights, willing to consider indirect from Scotland to likes of Copenhagen. Have to wait until 11 month return date for flights?
Your thread really makes you think. Just when I thought it might not be possible, a glimmer of hope... Thanks for sharing. |

I've looked at Ireland too before and found the same thing
I would think 3k would be our absolute maximum budget for flights, our worst case scenario. Very worrying, I don't like not having flights booked. Have always booked flights first in the past.

This is very reassuring ^^^^^ Very useful, thank you very much. Will do some more dummy bookings for this years equivalent dates to get an idea of what would be available at this stage in the game next year.

Yes, I tried Fort Lauderdale, Tampa, Miami, Sanford.
26th July will be a cheap date to return as that's only one week after the schools breakup. I'm not trying to be awkward, I actually totally agree with your message. But I think that late July/early August is a very expensive time, and I know a lot of people were disappointed this year as they had high hopes of finding a bargain and they couldn't. |
