The airline has famous and frequent seat sales, which is the best way to find the cheapest prices and the flights for which you pay taxes only. These are advertised in the press and the homepage of the website, as well as by email. The fares tend to come on the market at midnight and only apply to a certain number of seats so it is best to book as close to midnight as possible. The booking period tends to be short and it always best to book as far in advance as possible. Certain dates, such as school holidays and weekends are always blackout periods.
