Saturday, April 05, 2008 Marksfish Villa I'm in Leeds, West Yorkshire/ Puerto Rey, Vera., Almeria I've made 1231 posts Send private message to Marksfish	I have been looking for the past 6 weeks on both the Ryanair and Jet2 websites for Christmas flights to Murcia or Almeria. Jet2 are slightly more helpful saying that their flights are only available until 2nd November, but to check back for updates, whereas Ryanair just return a flight not found page. Scheduled airlines usually make flights available about 10 months in advance, does anyone know what sort of schedule the budget airlines work to? I can keep checking back, but it becomes a chore to keep checking once a week and even signing up for airline emails doesn't tell you when the new season begins .

Leeds, Manchester or East Midlands (at a push). It's really annoying sometimes, the lack of information that is given by the airlines unless you ring the revenue generating phone numbers .

They were booked on the day they were released. I think Ryanair are usually a little before Easyjet but I don't think I have ever seen either release their flights much before 6 months in advance. Although Ryanair flights to Ireland at Christmas have certainly been available for the past few weeks. You need to bear in mind that Ryanair do not fly to Almeria all year round so I am not even sure that they do so for Christmas time.

Hopefully they will still be flying into Murcia at Christmas. Mark _______________________ Marksfish (My fishkeeping homepage) Holiday Almeria (Apartment rental page) Spam post?

I can only get up to the 25th October, flying into Murcia or Almeria. Have been checking every couple of days but no joy so far. This will be our first christmas with our own place so are really anxious to get flights. _______________________ Spam post? If so please click here to report it

I think Ryanair go slightly earlier but not a lot so I think it might not be for another 4 - 6 weeks (Might be wrong though!). Also bear in mind that Ryanair didn't fly in to Almeria over this winter but I am not sure when they actually stop them.
