When to go

  • Best months: May, June and September
  • Cheapest months: January, February and November
  • Avoid: August — hot, packed, and many shops shut

Before you book

  • Low-cost carriers sell the seat and charge for the bag. A 20 kg case adds £25–£45 each way, so price the bag before you judge the fare.
  • Late arrivals are the expensive ones, so pre-book the transfer rather than join the queue after 22:00.
  • Package protection is not automatic. ATOL cover is not automatic when you buy the parts separately, so read what each seller promises.
