Although flights with low-cost airlines will often appear to be less expensive than a scheduled ticket, passengers travelling with luggage would be advised to exercise caution and look carefully at the luggage fees of the various airlines. Booked well in advance of the date of travel, a ticket with a scheduled carrier may turn out cheaper once luggage is included in the overall price of the ticket.
For tickets booked a month in advance, passengers can expect to pay about £100 return for a midweek off-peak departure.
