When to go

  • Best months: November to March, when it is 24–28°C
  • Cheapest months: May and September, hot but half the price
  • Avoid: June to August, when it is 40°C+ and humid

Before you book

  • Low-cost carriers sell the seat and charge for the bag. Add £25–£45 each way for a checked 20 kg bag and the comparison changes.
  • After 22:00 the airport buses are sparse, which makes a pre-booked transfer the cheaper option.
  • Package protection is not automatic. Two bookings, two sets of terms, and ATOL cover becomes whatever each seller states.
