Fantastic summer holiday flight prices

[DoubleDisney]

Just booked an amazing deal with Virgin. I decided to try putting Miami as our final destination instead of Orlando. As it turns out the flight does a stopover in Orlando anyway. So, we are getting a direct flight to Orlando for £500 per person. I am paying less for four people then I did for two last year! Worth checking if you are also tied to school holidays. It does mean on the way home we have to drive down to Miami. Quite looking forward to that though! This is from Manchester.

You will have to fly on to Miami though on your first flight or your return will be cancelled .

Its still a bargain,just a bit more inconvenient .

Do you realise you will still need to get the Orlando-Miami connection or your return flights will be cancelled? Still worthwhile if you got a great price tho!

That’s why I love the Dibb! Thank you everybody for your help. I really wouldn’t of known it had I not come on here. After a quick call to virgin and an extra £300 pp😳 I have now amended our booking. Disaster averted!

Have you paid an extra £1200 to fly direct to Orlando rather than drive from Miami ?
Think I would have just driven even though inconvenient .. But everyone's different

1200 pounds or a 3-4 hour drive? That would make a big hole in your villa/park ticket/food costs...

There are 18 of our family going from Manchester to Orlando next July - us our kids and partners and grandkids - and we’re paying. Direct is £1250 per person, indirect to Tampa is £700 and this thread prompted me to look at flying to Miami which as the OP says is £500 per person. That’s a very substantial saving for an extra 3 hours or so drive.

Yes. I would have driven except there was a 15 hour layover at MCO which would have made it all very awkward. Still pleased with the prices we got as it’s far better than last year. And this way we get to enjoy the sights of Miami at the end.
