What has happened to the price of flights?
Have some friends who want to come and visit before the en of the season and price of flights have gone through the roof
£800 with a charter?
£700 schedule?

Are these flights over the easter period? Flights always increase for Christmas and wouldn`t suprise me if they do for Easter also!

Any time in the next few weeks

I know someone who got charter @ £680 a couple of weeks ago, a week before that it was £580 - a week later £780

Think Kingfisher may have something to do with it now they have stopped flying to LHR

Any time in the next few weeks incorporates Easter! 7th -8th April!

How can Kingfisher being grounded and bankrupt affect the overall cost of flights!

The £115 departure tax from Heathrow bumps the price up !

It seems this season that the charter operators have brought the end date of their last flight dates forward, meaning that that the odd charter company that are still flying to Goa can list flight prices at what they want - probably more relevant to Manchester than gatwick.

As for scheduled airlines, the fares only get more expensive closer to the departure date.

Whatever then reason - these are still scandalous prices !

Dread - x

It can only get worse as EU taxes come in, oil continues up and up and airlines that have been running at a loss drop out of competition.

Monarch have reduced the number of flights as well which have an effect on prices. No Thursday/Friday flights from Gatwick this year. Also I think smaller planes on Saturday as that one is stopping to refuel at Bahrain.
I've been watching the prices over the last 2-3 weeks, the prices have been going up and down literally overnight by about £150!
Hung on too long for a last minute Monarch this Sat and lost it
Managed to get the last Thomson one though after Easter

Its just going to get worse and shortly 700 pounds to fly here will look cheap. Its going to ruin, if it hasnt already, tourism here from Europe. But then they have a domestic market to tap into..over 400 million under twenty five..
