Many thanks.
Sadly my August bookings have always been a Miles Reward flight or a Combi flight. However they aren't available for 2018 at the moment and you can't do a Combi anymore.

However. VA PE flights Booked 21st October PE both ways for 2 = £2495.20.
They have only dropped to £2430 for the 2 so I am £65 out of pocket. hey ho.

But I have upgraded to UC on the way out for £81.56p!

I can give you a page of Miles type deals or I can give you the 'cash' pages for April & Oct if you want. Those 2 do show cash trends if it helps.

If you had a page for cash prices for flights in Aug that would be awesome?

We go on Tuesday 21st of August. Roughly around there/that time in August has always worked out to be the cheapest flights/ holiday for us

Sorry no. I have the April & Oct ones in full. The August one is predominantly circa £300 ish for PE as thats where I get the Reward seats and free upgrades. Not this year though!

Ahh I understand! I know everyone is different,but what is considered a good price for direct London to MCO in August? Is 750pp about right?

I am SO sorry for all of the questions and if they've been asked shedloads of times previously.
Unless universal have changed since I last went Feb 17, the pass is anything under 30 mins you can join the express queue and you are normally on the ride within a couple of minutes and anything over 30 mins you get a return time. I wouldn’t bother with the express pass as that’s the queue you join anyway.

That's great news and such a relief. Thank you!
