Hi
We are looking to book for August 2021 3 adults and 2 children 14 nights. We have been given a price of £8400 for flights and hotel at universal Endless summer. Looking through this forum people with a similar set up for this year are getting that for less than half the price. Is it best waiting and booking later and if so when is the best time to book for August 21.
Thanks in advance

That seems way too expensive. The official flight prices are released around 10-11 months before, so have another look in September.

That seems way to expensive. Pricing up endless summer for this August, it’s just over 1700, so even allowing for an increase, that would make your flights about 6000. We’re doing August 2021 and my absolute max for flights is 4500 for 5 and that needs to include car hire.

As pp said I’d wait till September time when flights are released. You’re paying a premium for booking early.

Thanks for the reply guys. First time going to Florida so it's all new. Is September the best time to book or is it best waiting a little longer

September would be when the flights are officially available to book for August 2021. They’re quite expensive usually when they first come out but do tend to come down after a few weeks.

Would you be willing to fly indirect? That might also bring the cost down a little as well.

We were just looking at direct. Too much hassle otherwise I think

Keep an eye out on here! Everyone’s good at sharing when they spot good prices! There’s normally an August flight price thread going. You could have a look at this years to get a rough idea?

Hello and welcome to the Dibb!

For me that price is a little high. We're paying circa £8500 for 4 weeks July 2021. That's villa, park tickets (Disney, Universal & KSC), one night in Universal Royal Pacific Resort (2 rooms) and flydrive*.

We're family of 6 (2 adults, 2 teens and 2 children).

*Flydrive is a predicted price we're budgeting around £3000 for that.

xx
