Having worked out that not all schools have half term on the same week Manchester airport has put £100 surcharge on flights for the 18/19 Feb '06. You can dodge this by flying from smaller airports but you had better move quick as the flights from East Midlands and Humberside are already booked up.re: Parental Advice Half Term 2006
They don't miss a trick do they!Until something is done about these scams people will continue to take children out of school just to get a quieter and cheaper holiday.
I certainly would - only problem I work in school and I'm not sure the Head would approve of that.

I looked into that when we were booking (humberside etc, flight supplements are £20 and mancs is £120!) but ended up booking from manchester just because I was remembering how absolutely knackered I was after the trip home this year...(too much fun on the saturday night!) I couldn't face an extra journey after landing, I only live ten minutes from manchester airport and that felt like an age!..so laziness and apathy win all round - we're just paying the extra and forgetting about it!
