Mobile Tui v Virgin

I know a lot of people recommend Virgin but the same holiday next year is 3 grand more with virgin than Tui. AK with DDP with tui is actually a thousand pound cheaper than CB with QSDP going with Virgin.

I wouldn't pay £3,000 more to fly with Virgin - I love the Dreamliner, so for me it's a no brainer.

We had a great trip with TUI this year, the crew on the plane were great with me as a nervous flyer. They were extremely helpful and friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The Dreamliner is great as well.

Last time we went it was with Tui and I loved it. I was just shocked at the price difference. Now I'm just debating if AK is worth the extra £1500 or stick with CB or POR.

Same holiday I assume means same hotel... Once you arrive at the hotel there will be no difference...

So for 20 hours (9 there 8 back, plus some to cover Sanford travel time and make the maths easy) you will notice a difference. That's £150 per hour for your party to basically sit on one plane instead of another.

As they say...nice work if you can get it !

I have in the last 12 months flown with TUI to Florida and Virgin to Washington. I feel there is little difference in the standard except that with Virgin PE is over the wings because of Upper Class. With Virgin not using the Dreamliner fo Florida flights plus TUI being considerably cheaper I think it’s a no brainier that TUI come out as the choice. I know some on here don’t think it’s good to fly in to Sanford instead of MCO but I must admit I prefer it and enjoy the drive down 417. For me though it helps that coming from Devon I can fly from Bristol

Its only the flight which will be different and that can depend on the other people on the plane and the crew. Plus if TUI are into Sanford they tend to be quicker with immigration. You would not get disney express ,but assume TUI includes coach transfer so I would go with TUI.
