Just in case anyone IS intending or thinking of traveling from the Uk don't forget to check the option of flying from a NON UK airport as there are some excellent deals available that way too ( even if it's a bit of a pain) - you can depart say from Amsterdam quite cheaply etc or in my case on my Christmas trip last year I took the BA09 out of Heathrow ( which entailed me getting an internal connecting flight from Belfast at extra cost) and the BA flight was around ┬г1200 or so, this year I found EXACTLY the same BA09 flight INCLUDING a connection flight from Dublin ( which suits me ok)
for only ┬г634 ALL IN for the same seat on the EXACTLY the same flight BA flight that is currently still priced around the ┬г1200 mark if taken sight from Heathrow - ( go figure ! ) so, it definitely is worth thinking outside the box a little and pricing other airport departure points perhaps to find the best deal that also might suit you.
