Hi everyone!



I had asked a question about visa, that has been sorted, thank you very much. I'm now searching for flights, so I can atleast book well in advance ( hoping to travel in three and a half weeks) I am hoping I can bag a bargain somewhere, do I go online on the airliners websites like CTA or check travek agents sites? I have tried some flight comparison sites and in most of them I dont seem to find Ercan Airport. Where do you guys book your flights from?



Thanks!

Try sidestep.com or kelkoo.com or opodo.co.uk, but hoping to travel in under four weeks time is hardly booking well in advance. If you want to fly into Larnaca, you should try flymonarch.com

I just type in"flights to Cyprus " and you can pick who ever you like.I have found though if you want to go Ercan it is better to go to the Airlines own site.Flew Manchester to Larnaca a couple of weeks ago with Monarch and was pleased with flights...

Scan the Sunday rags in the travel sections and sometimes a B&B in a hotel flight included with transfers is only marginally more expensive than a flight only, assuming you are doing UK-TRNC-UK. Larnaca taxi is about £70 one way to TRNC so wipes out any 'cheap' flight advantage going to the South.

Transfers Bogas, Taxi 40 each way Larnaca, Erkan 25, difference 30 per family. Usual saving per ticket approx 50 therefore saving at least 170 per family, peak times substantially more.

I always book direct with Pegasus http://www.flypgs.com You really need to book well in advance to get a good deal as prices go up when booking last minute. Pegasus fly Stansted to Ercan.
