TUI launch price drop on last-minute Easter flights to Spain, the Canary Islands and Greece

Travellers looking to get away on a last-minute holiday can find huge discounts on a range of flight routes with TUI, including departures over the upcoming April school breaks and Easter bank holiday.

It's not the first time this year TUI has offered money off its holiday and flight packages from Cardiff Airport - in February travellers were offered £250 off packages at checkout as it launched a series of discount codes. This led to a £500 saving on some Mexico holidays, more than £600 off the Riu Negril hotel in Jamaica and a discount on trips to the Dominican Republic.

As Easter approaches, which is normally one of the most expensive times to book a holiday, TUI has launched a series of cheap flights and an extra £100 off for passengers who use a specific code at checkout.

The upcoming Easter weekend starts on Good Friday (April 7) and finishes Monday, April 10, with the majority of flights leaving the UK at this time known to double in price as the demand to get away soars.

When scouring TUI's 'cheap flights' page travellers can bag a more affordable deal out of Cardiff Airport. Destinations including Malaga, Lanzarote and Gran Canaria are currently available for less than £100 per return passenger, and it includes 10kg of hand luggage which is pretty hard to come by with tickets nowadays.

The cheap flights are determined on the selected dates, the cheapest route over Easter from Cardiff is to Malaga, Spain with adult return tickets for as little as £80 each.

To get this price travellers would have to book to fly out from Sunday, April 2. TUI's current prices for this route are more than £265 than the route with Ryanair.

Flying out of Cardiff on a similar date, April 1 2023, Ryanair passengers will pay around £345 return, compared to TUI's £80 return price. The flight out on April 1 costs £117 per person, and the return on April 15 is £218.99.

Next up in price are flights to Lanzarote from £90 return per person, making the price of one-way flights around £45 per person. The dates for this are the same as the above Malaga deal, leaving Sunday April 2 to get the cheapest price and spend Easter in the sun.

Flights to Gran Canaria are slightly more expensive at £98 for each return but flights are available from as soon as April 1. Other destinations include Alicante and Paphos, between £107 return per person and £237 per person.
