Staycation fails to hit the mark as flight deals surge

You aren’t really surprised the weather has gone wrong again, are you?

Maybe you had bought your tent and camping gear, cleaned the portable barbecue and saved a fortune by not putting the dog into kennels? And then the Met Office is suddenly wading all over the news using language we don’t understand like “washout” and “whole of August”. Most unsettling.

You would have thought that we would have learnt our lesson by now and not relied on the long-term weather forecast supplied at the one time of year that we get the only two weeks of sunshine. In spring or early summer, that is. However, all is not lost. You can still get that suntan before you head back to work. There are some incredible flight deals to be had, both over the remaining period of the summer but also in September and October. The airlines are still fighting an aggressive airfare war and deals are plentiful.

Using nowfly.co.uk, a powerful and speedy search engine, we can reveal some fantastic fares that will bring some warmth to your soggy sleeping bag and relief to your wallet.
