Glitch/Cheap price thread October/November 2018

[Silvercat]

I've been horrified at the MAN to MCO with Virgin for the end of October, they haven't gone down below £1,400 EACH since November. The "sale" prices were a joke, and I have now panicked and booked us to fly from Gatwick. Not ideal, but still with Virgin and coming in at £733 each including exit-row seats. We really don't like flying from London due to the amount of travelling included at the start and end of the holiday (Manchester is a lot closer to us, and easier to get to and from), but I was beginning to despair of ever getting the flights booked!

Yup, I expected a bump because of the half term holidays but last year we got 2 adults MAN-MCO in March for £748 - that wouldn't get one of us there and back from Manchester this time.

No, my sister is the world's most nervous flyer and she can just about put up with one flight in a day, never mind 2! (She would never have coped with what we did last year, 9 flights in 21 days!)

I have just been on the BA holidays web site and for my dates in End November, there is a extra £50 discount for economy and £100 discount for Club World on the Fly/Drive choices
Must be booked by Jan 9th

I had been looking to book for a Jan/Feb 2019 trip but Travel Republic seem to be doing a good offer for 27th Oct - 3rd Nov.
Although price seems to fluctuate a little every time I look, can get into the Ramada Plaza on iDrive with Breakfast included, flights and large car for roughly £2600 for 4 adults and 7days
Would others say this was good?
