I thought it was 11 months? Has something changed?

Only a couple of weeks until I can get my flights booked 🤗👌

You can book BA flights 355 days before.

Thanks for that info, I will be looking for flights with BA or Virgin (is Virgin 355 as well)?

No, Virgin is 11 months.

"customise your trip"are sometimes before 355 days - only need one night hotel to qualify. Can be RPR or LHR .

Peko explained it at some point in the dim and distant - something to do with differing booking systems.

So might be worth a nosy.

That said, I often find their prices are marginally cheaper once the AA codeshare flights hit at 11 months.

Thank you, I've never had to book flights for Nov/Dec as we have always been in the summer. I usually book Thomas Cook from Stansted but this isn't an option late in the year so I am presuming I will book with Virgin or BA from Gatwick (so much more hassle for us to go from Gatwick)

but on the positive side the flights will be a lot cheaper

Indirect from Heathrow an option perhaps? There are some good deals on at the moment for I directs, but earlier in the year.

Hope you get something that suits - at a price you love !

I had a look earlier in the customise my trip so with a car and a night in Miami but it came up that the date wasn't available, went up to the last date on the calendar and nothing...
