- Avoid: August, unless you like packed beaches and peak prices
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.
