Cheap flights in March: shoulder-season fares before Easter
Looking for cheap flights in March? March is a strong value month for UK travellers, especially the middle weeks. If Easter falls in late March, the last week prices in as a school holiday; if it lands in April, the whole month is off-peak.
Where to fly in March from the UK
Spring-warm destinations open up: Malaga, Lisbon, Cyprus, Malta, and the southern Turkish coast. Long-haul: Japan for the start of cherry blossom season (from around 25 March in Tokyo), the Middle East is ideal, Southeast Asia is at the end of dry season.
How to save
Book Japan cherry-blossom trips 3-4 months out — dates get expensive fast. Otherwise, 3-5 weeks' lead time is enough. Fly 8-22 March for the softest fares of the month.
