Cheap flights from Manchester to Paphos

The expensive stretch is the destination's summer, when holiday demand from Britain pushes fares up and seats fill early. School holidays and the Christmas period are similarly tight. October is the cheapest month on this route, with mild weather still on the Cyprus coast. November through spring stays calmer on price, so if your dates are flexible, shifting out of the peak weeks is the simplest saving.

Ryanair, easyJet, Jet2 and TUI Airways fly the route nonstop and carry most of the traffic; the first two are low-cost, so baggage and seat choice usually cost extra. TUI Airways and Jet2 sell package-style fares where more is bundled in. British Airways offers a full-service option from Manchester International. Edelweiss Air, Swiss, Aegean Airlines, Lufthansa City Airlines and Air Baltic appear with connecting itineraries through their own hubs, which can suit odd dates or one-way trips.

You land at Paphos International, a compact airport close to the town and the harbour area, so the transfer feels short compared with many holiday arrivals. Buses and pre-booked shuttles run into town, and taxis wait outside the terminal; for resorts further along the coast, a transfer or hire car is the usual choice. Have your accommodation address ready for the driver, and check whether your hotel offers a pickup before paying for one.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check what baggage the fare includes, since the low-cost carriers charge for hold bags and even cabin bags on some tickets.
• Manchester has one airport for this route, Manchester International, so confirm your terminal and departure time rather than the airport name.
• If you book a connecting itinerary with Edelweiss Air, Swiss, Aegean Airlines, Lufthansa City Airlines or Air Baltic, check whether the tickets are on one booking, because separate tickets leave you unprotected on a missed connection.
• Check passport validity and any entry requirements for Cyprus before you pay.
• Compare October against the summer months if your dates are flexible, since that is where the calendar dips.
