    Hello, myself and two friends want to travel to London from knock on Friday June 13th and return on the 15th. The flight would need to be in the afternoon as one of my friends has an appointment she can't miss that morning. What website should we book on to get the best deals? The three of us are pretty clueless when it comes to things like this and he internet can be a minefield! I saw there is a flight at half five but that would mean not landing until almost seven and the day would be gone then, the other cheap option is for half 8 that morning but as I already said this isn't doable for us. Many thanks

    skyscanner.com or edreams.com are the two best ones I have used. Both very easy to use!

    No deals site will help you, two airlines fly from Knock to London, Aer Lingus and Ryanair. You only have their schedules and fares to choose from so check their sites.

    You've basically limited yourself to either the 1pm Aer Lingus service to Gatwick (if you can even make it) or the 1735 Ryanair to Luton or the 1755 to Stansted. You then need to add in the costs of getting from those airports into where you're staying, have you decided where that is yet?
    If you decide to fly from Dublin you'll have a much larger choice. Remember you don't have to book returns with the same company, you can fly out with one and back with the other, fly into one airport and out of another also.

    Looks like it will be the half five to standsted. On the bright side at least we won't have to rush! We are staying with a friend who is picking us up so no problems there. Thanks everyone
