I booked mine for next year through Virgin, the were very competitive and as a flying club member they knocked 7% off.

They also beat a quote I found for Discovery Cove.

Main bonus is that they don't need paying till next year

We booked Disney tickets and then got the flying club discount and even the big sales from the ticket sellers haven’t beaten their price.

We have booked our universal tickets with Virgin, Seemed very competitive to other prices. The only downside i found it that you dont actually get tickets just a voucher to exchange at the park for your tickets so may add a little time to your day..

The discount comes from being a member of the flying club

The Universal tickets page says "from" in front of the ticket prices and you can't book them online. You have to phone them. I suspect the actual ticket price isn't the same as shown on the webpage.

If they are correct, then that's a pretty good price. Their 2019 Universal tickets are about £50 less than most places.

Are we talking Virgin Holidays here?

Only their prices for Disney tickets are more than most. Their 2018 14-day Disney tickets are £403 (here) whereas you can get them from somewhere like OrlandoAttractions for £373.

Then they are pants, I did mine via live chat and had no issues at all, I also had a chat with a member of staff in the Metro centre store and he was aware of the discount for flying club member's.

It is VH.

For my next trip I was going to get the tickets elsewhere as last year Id used ATD, at the time we were only doing Disney and as I had to book the holiday over the phone they gave me a quote on tickets that were cheaper than anywhere else.

Then I decided that I wanted to do DC on Crimbo day and did some shopping around, after a live chat to VH they beat the best price so I booked through them.

I then decided that I couldn't do Orlando without Universal so again spent some time researching prices, another live chat with VH and I booked through them after they beat my best price.

All they needed was a link to the site offering a better price and they beat it, only downside is vouchers instead of real tickets but I can live with that.
