Some time before the end of the year I hope to do about 4 flights in a day and I would like some advise on how I should do it. I woruld prefer to fly from Gatwick as this is my nearest airport. Also I was thinking that if I was to travel with airlines that have internet check-in so I don't have to do it at the airport allowing me to fly longer.

ADVISE WANTED!!!!

I did a similar sort of thing earlier this year to what I think you are on about. I did LGW-MAN-DUB-ORK-LGW with Jet2, Aer Lingus, Ryanair & Easyjet. That was quite good and there was a little bit of time between flights. (http://forum.keypublishing.co.uk/showthread.php?t=53844)

But I'm sure you could do LGW-EDI-MAN-GLA-LGW as well, whiich would be quite exciting & you could check-in online, of course depending on what airlines it was.

In February. £60 for 4 flights isn't bad. If you want to that set of flights, you'd have to do it before the end of October because easyJet are stopping their Cork flights.

That report is really good. I think Ryanair also do the Cork Route.

I will have to try and fit it in some time because I'm starting college i September and I don't know the term time yet.

If you or anyone else has any more examples. Please reply.

Tom's suggestion looks a good one - though you'll need his eye for a bargain to get those prices :cool: !!

Like Tom says, end of October EZY are dropping the LGW-Ireland routes and rumour has it Jet2 will be stopping the LGW-MAN service - does anyone have anything new on this as it's been flying around for a while? (excuse the pun)

Ryanair's fares are often extremely cheap, and it may be possible to do something (not sure if this would work) like LGW-DUB-???-DUB-LGW at a decent price.

Just be warned though, that if you fly with EZY or RYR (in particular, but not exclusively) and you are delayed, you may not be allowed to board and consequently you may find yourself stuck somewhere unexpectedly. Also think about the sector lengths, if you want to have 4 sectors in a day then you're not likely to want to fly to far up country...maybe you do though, I don't know. Why not do something exciting and fly LGW-GLA-BRR-GLA-LGW, then you can land on a beach!

This is purely from memory, but I think it was as follows...

LGW-MAN £18
MAN-DUB £23
DUB-ORK £9
ORK-LGW £10
