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. Check the bag fee as well: £25–£45 each way for 20 kg on the low-cost carriers.
  • Anything after 22:00 is worth pre-booking, because the bus timetable thins out and taxis know it.
  • Package protection is not automatic. Book flight and hotel separately and your ATOL protection is only what each seller offers on its own page.
