Excited about Disney
|
We booked accommodation direct with Disney 400 days in advance.
I tracked flights every single day on every single major site and comparison site into Orlando, Miami and Tampa for 12 months. I stupidly missed some amazing prices as I always thought it would come in cheaper closer to the date. I have since learned this isnt quite how it works. We got lucky and a good price (one we were happy with anyway) happened to pop up on Momondo flying with Norwegian. |

Omg that sounds time consuming but I guess to get the deals that's the only way. Which sites did you check and were you prepared to go indirect?.
Just seen your countdown gave an amazing time.m

Being a bit Goofy

We go next Friday 17th. Gatwick to Fort Lauderdale.
Bought in May. £2484 for 2 adults and 2 children. Haven’t looked again so no idea if they have gone down! I know they were cheaper than that around Jan/Feb time (see the glitch thread) but we didn’t have the funds then. We live in Leeds so a trek down to Gatwick but all flights from Manchester were £900+ Each when we wanted to book. So still worked out cheaper with the hotel and petrol down. |

Paid £1625 for Aug17, booked in Oct 16. 2A 2C. Thought it was a bargain.
Terrible carrier... customer servuce non existent when problems occurred. Never use them again, but you often pay for what you get! Business model imo flawed... they will do well to still be flying transatlantic in the next 3-4 years. Good European budget airline... that’s it. |

We booked in 4th Oct 16 for travel on 26th Aug 17 low fare ticket then added bags on for £25 per bag. 3Adults 1 child £1292 (3 bags going out 4 coming back.)
Great planes, only problem we had, we were suppose to fly out the day hurricane Irma hit so flights got cancelled (no fault of Norwegian) as they didn’t have many flights per week we couldn’t fly back until 9 days later ( not so bad 😁 they even paid for accommodation and some towards food. Don’t think we’re find another deal like that but can still be cheaper than the others. Good luck getting a cheap deal.

OP when you say August do you mean travel out and back within school holidays? If so, you can probably add 50-100% on the low fares people are quoting for September, end of August or June- it's a whole different ball game.
Burbs above got an excellent school holiday price of just below 650 each, that's as low as I've seen for a direct school holiday flight recently. If you are going school holidays, you'd do well to get that direct. I've often looked at Norwegian school holiday prices and haven't seen anything cheap enough to tempt me to travel down from Leeds.
