May flight prices

danisleigh · 6 Oct 20, 08:00 AM

We are hoping to book for May 2022 and noticed that Virgin have fly drive prices out. I was tempted to book but having never been in May I am not sure if the price is good. It was �2480 for 3 adults for 16 nights flying back the bank holiday weekend that the kids break up and included a fully insured Rav 4 or similar. If we booked direct flights and the car ourselves would it be a lot cheaper?

I have booked BA for May 2021, 3 adults and 1 young adult, Direct flights, 17 nights accommodation at a villa resort and a Group W car hire for �3054, to give you an idea what prices are like (and that is a very good deal)

I think you could do better than that for May but who knows at the moment?

We booked 2 adults 2 kids 16 nights on lastminute.com for next May �1600, connecting in Germany on the way and Canada on the way back but we dont mind as long as it gets us there

BA are about �1500 for that same package.

Given they have very flexible arrangements at the moment I can't see any reason to book with Virgin for an extra �1000.
Edit - unless this is a Manchester booking, which in that case all bets are off.

It's 2022 so I don't think BA have released prices yet.

It seems a bit steep to me. We've paid �2034 for 2A 2C Man>PHL>MCO and a Chevy Suburban.

Good point! I didn't notice it was 2022.
