Also to consider - on several occasions, (we prefer independent to package for flexibility), is different airlines from different airports for the separate legs of the trip.I realise this may not be practical for alot of people, but we quite often do (for example ) , 'out' from Leeds with Ryanair, and 'back' to Manchester with Easyjet. On the last occasion, this resulted in a net saving of £50 per person (- representing an excellent meal in the Brouklis, followed by a darned good night out in the 'Nut or Malibu or Rainbow or take your pick!!)
