BA good price?

Hi so i have recently changed our october stay to the end of aug begining of september in order bring the overall cost of our holiday down.
I am being offered direct flights with BA LGW-MCO (booked through netflights) for �1497.30 this is flying on the 29th aug and is for 2 adults and 3 children. Can anyone confirm whether this is a decent price or would you wait for a dec/jan sale?

I would say that's a decent price I fly from Manchester but for direct flights that is really good

Personally I dont think you can do much better than �300pp for direct flights when booking in advance. Maybe cheaper on a last minute bargain, but not sure that is worth the risk.

But you will have amy bags and seats on top.

Price includes checked bags so just seat selection on top, although i may just wait and book seats for free at the 24 hour mark!

Think that's an excellent price - wish I could get similar, but having to fly into London to then get the MCO flight, and going in high season that cost pp is something I can only dream of!

Best price I've seen in years, and you would be extremely optimistic to expect better considering most of the cost is in taxes. I assume that doesn't include the luggage at that price?

Thanks everyone at the end of last week the same flights were coming in at under �1400 (the thurs flight was cheaper than any other day) which i thought was amazing hence the reason i changed my dates. However my preiously available room at cbr 'disappeared' so i couldnt book. Then the room reappeared but flights had gone up so just wanted a second opinion before i booked as thought such cheap flights were maybe normal at that time of year. I have it all booked now 😁.

My flight details say it includes checked baggage and the same flight on ba direct is �1588.30 for economy classic so still a great price. I went with netflights for the extra saving and they offer 1% top cash back.
