Skyscanner still showing good prices from LGW flying Vueling. Are these charter extra flights? £120 return approx, check it out.
Haha nonsense. Stansted express from Tottenham hale or Liverpool street takes you straight to the airport departures no fields !! And as the price is now 10x what I paid for it I guess it will be 90% Albion fans
Same for me....gave up after the 4th attempt (esp as each time the prices were higher), and decided to go to Milan instead and take the train from there. Flight to Milan was £21.99 with easyJet. Flight back is €81 with BA. Trains from Milan to Rome are about €25 - €45 each way, depending on time.

They are via intermediaries so could well not happen as per others' experiences in Marseille. Need to book through airlines direct to make sure.

Looks like a lot of posters don't understand the airline's dynamic pricing models. Of course prices will rise at payment stage if more seats are sold in the time between you searching for them and trying to confirm payment. The price shown is only valid at point of search request.
We managed to get BA on Vueling from LGW for just over 200 each.

Didn’t work for me, kicked me out
They all went a while ago.
All the flight search engines are largely useless at periods of high demand - their prices are all old.
That's exactly what we're doing.

Sorry 'old man alert', but is this not actually a form of touting/profiteering or is this all part of a free market economy?

Naples is a decent option usually. Less train time
Nah.
When availability reduces, prices go up - we all know that's how it works with flight prices. Usually that takes days, weeks or months to play out. In situations like today, it happens in a few minutes.
It wasn't someone sitting at a computer, noticing Brighton were away at Roma and putting all the prices up, we put the prices up ourselves by all trying to buy simultaneously.

Flights booked with Vueling from Gatwick to Florence, out Wednesday morning, back Saturday afternoon.
1.5hr train ride to Rome, two nights there: head back to Florence around Friday lunchtime, bit of sightseeing, final night there, fly home.
Lovely.

I’m still working on the logistics, but I hope take a few days.
I got kicked out twice booking flights from Manchester. Went up from £140 to £180 in 10 minutes. Flying out Tuesday pm, back Friday am.
