Virgin Flights July 2021

I know we just don't know what's going to happen, however we are starting to plan our holiday for July 2021 so have begun to look at prices.

We are tempted with Virgin as they are coming out cheaper than BA & we can choose our seats at no extra cost.

Premium Return LHR to MCO is £835pp

Having not been for a number of years, is this a good price for Premium both ways?

Or should we wait for some kind of 'sale'?

My gut instinct is that that's not a bad price for peak season?!
I'm sure we've paid around £549 in the past for Economy in February!

I'm put off BA as I think it's pretty poor to have to pay to reserve seats on a long hall flight!

Any advice gratefully received!

IMO, that’s a good price for PE on direct flights👍

That seems like a great price for July, even at the start. I would be happy to pay that, others would hold out for ‘better’. If you’re happy with the price go for it!

Thanks all!
Well we were happy until we've just priced up car hire...
OMG it's gone through the roof!

So now we're back looking at BA plus car as that's working out better, just hate paying for the seat reservation

I guess that way we can just pay a deposit too.

Does anyone know how much the seat selection is with BA?
We're looking at Premium, LGW to Tampa now!

If you keep clicking through to book you will be able to see the seat plan and prices before the payment page. I don't know the price as I believe they price seats differently depending on if they are window/aisle/middle etc.. so that's the easiest way to find out

Thanks. DD's prom was supposed to be the 9th. Presume it still will be or could be later so will have to find out. When you say car hire is through the roof how expensive are you talking? I've not looked yet but need to start getting some ideas as hoping to go for 3 or 4 weeks if we can.
