Cheap TUI return flights have popped up for early October to Crete, Palma de Mallorca, Lanzarote and Gran Canaria, sitting in the same space as the usual low cost short haul options but with the familiarity of a major holiday brand. These are flight only fares rather than a package, so they suit anyone who already has accommodation sorted or wants to build their own trip around fixed dates.

Who are these flights best for?

If you can travel in early October and can keep your packing light, this kind of fare can work well for a week in the sun. Most trips are around 7 nights, with Crete typically showing as 14 nights, so it is more suited to a longer break. The included 10kg hand luggage helps avoid extra charges, but you will still want to check size limits and seat selection costs before booking.
