Glad you got sorted Sonia.
Like you I was undecided but was worried that I would be away when the EasyJet flights were released so bit the bullet & booked Ryanair - As it turns out there is very little difference in price & we too would rather fly from East Midlands.
I must admit I wasn't sure whether to look at the EasyJet prices in case they were lots cheaper but no worries now - Our return from Corfu with luggage & booked seats came in @ £175 for the 2 of us so (paid in Euros - Thanks Truth) pleased with that - Outward was a bit more but overall much cheaper than Jet2 , Thomas Cook & Thomsons.
Booking package holidays is a little less stressful and to be honest if we'd booked the Mathraki with Thomsons not a lot more expensive but we wanted to stay on the beach front next Year so overall we're happy now.
Just too long to wait!!!!
