Tui flights book now or wait?

We want to fly from Bristol in May but the price is currently £665 plus £70 luggage each, which is a lot more than we usually pay. (I think its school holidays).

The question is should we bight the bullet and just pay it or is it worth waiting to over christmas for a possible sale?

I always say if the price is right for you, then book. Price point will always be different for different people. It may well drop, but there are always lots of factors that affect this.

After my current issues chasing TUI with compensation I will never fly with them again, hope you dont have a need for this though.

I am nervous of changing flights, as surely this increases the chance of having your luggage go AWOL.

As you clear customs in dublin, what is it like when you land at MCO. I am assuming you still have to go through a passport check etc?

You arrive as a domestic flight. You not only clear customs at Dublin, you also clear immigration. Basically as you wait in the departure lounge in Dublin for your flight, you are already in the USA.
So no passport check at MCO , you’ve done it all in Dublin

No, you arrive into Orlando as an American domestic flight, straight from the plane to collect your baggage and out the airport.

Used indirect many, many tines, never lost the luggage once, Even direct flights can lose luggage (BA)
