Our research shows one strong rule: buy 6+ months ahead and you fly cheap any month. Wait until the last two weeks and prices triple.
Same flight. Same airline. Same seat class. Only the booking window changed.
If time matters: direct easyJet (4h 55min), from €162. If price matters: via Lisbon with TAP, from €47. The €115 saved per person is significant.
January — from €47 via Lisbon, with two weeks below €50. Avoid Christmas (Dec 23, up to €389) and August (from €147).
