Charter Travel

Hi All,

I've been given a recommendation to look to book our fly drive to Orlando with Charter Travel, has anyone used before and are they any good ?

Ideally want to fly with Virgin due to excellent entertainment (going with our 6 year old Daughter).

We are tied to school hols so looking at either end of Aug (appreciate weather may be volatile at times or October next year). (The Villa/house we have reserved is only available end of Aug or Oct also).

Thanks

Charter Travel are brilliant. You will find loads of people on here who recommend them. Their customer service is fab and I have always found them cheaper than booking a package elsewhere.

They can definitely book you Virgin flights. I have booked with them 3 times and flown virgin every time

Thanks Lucy, that's great to hear. I think we will very well use them.

Really good, personal service. We've used them three times now for Florida and other trips (I think all were Virgin). You only have to pay a deposit and if they book your flights and car hire it counts as a package holiday for legal protection (we always book accommodation separately).

Good to hear folkie, sound like a good company. I'll report back when booked etc.

We're looking at travelling next August (back end) or October, does anyone know best time to book for cheapest flight deals... ?

I have booked with them this time for the first time as they had the best deal for me. Up to now they have been excellent.

We've booked with them for this year and their service has been fantastic. I did price with them for next year but they where a lot more expensive than pillanger travel so I've booked with them for next year. If charter where only day 1-200 more I would have gone with them again but the difference was over 1000 x
