Hi All,

Hope that you are all in good health !
I was just wondering if anyone has booked their flights to Tunisia for the summer as i found the prices to be really good so i decided to book my summer tickets from now, but i was amazed that the seats are all booked for the begining of September as kids go back to school plus its ramadan..................Checked out a number of travel agencys, as they sell Tunis air tickets, been checking off and online for the past two days and the difference in price was ridiculous but managed to get an exellent deal which im really pleased about, it seems the longer you stay the cheaper it is................................................ ..

Hi - Where did you find the best deal? I am just starting to look around now for my family. There are so many internet sites with slightly different prices, it has already started to drive me mad! We are thinking about the start of the summer holidays.

Never seen you on here before, are you new ? welcome !
The best quotes were from Tunisias actual airline Tunis air but hurry most seats are already booked for the summer. A child ticket is the same as an adult at £169 depending on when you want to go.......

Hello - I am new - I am crashing your forum to help in planning my holiday! The flights to everywhere are booked for summer holidays! This is our first year with a school-age child and we are not at all prepared, we are used to taking holidays during termtime! I will continue looking for flights, thanks for the information.

I think that if i was you and this was my first time to Tunisia i would phone up the tourist board in london and they will send you a book on all hotels, where abouts it is and what the hotel has for entertainment, prices, all sorts, really good book as i have one but i got it years ago.........Tunisian tourist board are really helpfull and they can be reached on 0207-224-5561, then at least you have an idea of what you do or don't want.........goodluck.............

Flight charges cannot be predicted at all. I was checking out the flight charges a month ago and they weren't less at all as I was booking tickets for my parents visit, but just for a day the prices crashed almost to half the price and I booked it up immediately on the same day. While next day checked out the prices and found it to reach back its price that was there the day before.

Hi all,
I am new to the forum, this is my first post.

I am in the UK at the moment, and funnily enough was looking at flights yesterday, as I will be going home in a couple of weeks.

I noticed the comment that the flights are the same price winter or summer, and I have found this to be so, and also that the longer the stay the cheaper the flight, and the earlier the flight is booked the cheaper it is, I usually pay around £156 flying Tunisair, Heathrow to Tunis.
If it is possible for you to fly Charter flights it is well worth looking at flights into Monastir from the UK. I have found the cheapest website appears to be Airflights.co.uk yesterday there was 157 nights for £171. leaving February 10th from Gatwick. the flight code was TCX, which is Thomas Cook, I haven't looked but know from experience that by then going to the Thomas Cook website the flight will be even cheaper! so take a look at Airflights.co.uk as the comparison site then go to the best flight for you. It works for me.

HI everyone, I have found Thomson to be the cheapest charter flight - I have just booked to go in February for a week and it cost me £129. I know someone who works for an airline company and apparantly they drop the prices 6 weeks before departure date but they only do this for a couple of days then they bump the price back up if it's less than six weeks before you travel. I don't know how true this is but I've always managed to get a cheap flight. I think if you plan to go during school holidays unfortunately you will pay a lot more because they know many parents have no choice but to go at these times. Hope this helps.
