\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

1. Go to Greece<\/a>! –\u00a0<\/strong>Following in-depth research on flight prices, a Skyscanner study showed that the best time to book a\u00a0cheap flight to Greece<\/a><\/span>\u00a0is just three weeks in advance \u2013 perfect timing to book now for Easter! Fly from London Stansted to Kos<\/a> from just \u00a3106 return*. Check the weather in Greece, here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

2. It pays to do your research on popular routes<\/strong>\u00a0– Skyscanner research shows that flight prices increase when two airlines operate the same route, compared to when just one airline or three or more airlines operate. \u00a0For example, London Gatwick to Nice<\/a> has numerous airlines operating the route including British Airways, easyJet and Norwegian. Flying out on 9th April for one week costs just \u00a368 return*! Check the weather in Nice, here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

3. Stay savvy with Skyscanner\u2019s Price Alerts<\/strong>\u00a0– Let the deals come to you! Once you\u2019ve decided on your dream Easter destination,\u00a0set up a price alert<\/a><\/span>\u00a0which will notify you when the fare changes so you can book when it is at its cheapest.<\/p>\n

4. Flexibility is a frugal traveller\u2019s friend<\/strong>\u00a0– Use Skyscanner\u2019s Month View search tool and fly on less popular days of the week. For instance, fly from London Gatwick to Faro<\/a> on Wednesday 9th, returning on 16th April and save over \u00a3150 per family of four, compared to travelling on Friday 11th \u2013 18th April.
