Hi All

Just after some tips on booking indirect please. We've done 4 previous trips Manchester to MCO the last two with TC as I like to book 18 months in advance but trying to avoid paying Ł1000 plus pp!

How soon and where do I start with booking indirect? We are 3 adults and 2 Kids (11 and 15) looking at any time school hols 2019.

Many thanks

Any scheduled flught will be around 11 months from your returning date (BA it’s 336 days, America’s 330)

BA releases flights for sale 355 days prior to travel. Of course, anything with a connection operated by AA would not be available until 330 days prior.

OP - legacy carriers like BA and Virgin don't release availability for their cheapest Economy fares immmediately when they open a flight for sale, it's always better to wait a week or two and the cheaper fares will appear. Around 10 months prior you should start to see decent fares from multiple airlines, though there could be better prices available during sales, that's the risk you take...
