    It happens so much that you go to plan a holiday or book a flight not realising that a mid-term break falls at this time or some other event hikes up the cost of flights.

    Thought it might be a good idea to compile a list of dates to make people aware of when it would be best to avoid booking flights or go on hols like mid-term breaks, easter, sports events etc. And maybe people that use certain routes regularly could give their experience on what days are best to fly?

    I know that Easter Sunday falls on April 4th this year so the week around this time will be.

    I have no idea of when kids have their mid-term break for example...


    Could be sticky-worthy if it hasn't been done already
