Who is still flight hunting Sept/Oct 2018?
Hi,
So, we had flights booked with Thomson (still do actually) but or dates have changed and we can't move them or the Thomson flights: confused2 After much deliberation, I've decided my main aim in Virgin direct 27th Sept for 21 nights. Would love PE but having lost 1k with Thom and a villa deposit (also fully booked, the lovely owner will give us deposit back if our dates get booked but no guarantee of this) it'd need to be a good price. May do econ out and PE back for luggage and space, seems a cheaper option too. The second choice is United Edinburgh - Newark - Orlando. these are circa £400pp at the moment. Anyone else playing the waiting game? |

Us - 27th too! but we're also waiting for our SSR booking to be confirmed (it's really late!) Never been so disorganised before. Flight prices are awful too.

We need to fly on 27th Sept too as we have AKL booked for 2 weeks! We wanted to fly from Manchester as it was great in May but there aren’t any flights showing from Manchester on a Thursday in September - very odd but maybe something to do with the engine issues? The prices from Gatwick are so high... I fear we will be waiting another few months!

We want to go from Manchester too, London is at least a 6 hour drive for us. DH is quite a nervous flyer (he's ok once he's on) and only flies direct so we use VA - currently around £1280 pp for PE (and thats with using some airmiles!) Last year we paid under £750pp.
SORRY EDIT - ours is Oct 27th!

I'm thinking I've got a wait ahead too, not too sure how long I can hold my nerve!
We've never done indirect before so would rather stick with direct if possible! Can get the flights via skyscanner for around £620pp at the moment but I'm sure that won't be the right kind of code to upgrade in future so think maybe I should hold off for a good PE price! |

We cracked today and booked our flights. We paid more than I would have perhaps wanted to, but I’m happy it’s done.
Shocked at the increase in price to reserve seats with virgin 😮
