Just received an email from Virgin saying that they are running a flights offer in the Daily Mail tomorrow (Saturday). Might be worth checking out for cheaper flights to MCO.

If I thought there was any point, I'd buy it, but you're right, no chance of getting an offer for August!

I guess you will be coming back about the same time as us, we are looking for 2 or 3 September, I'll give you a shout if I see it become available with Virgin. I reckon they will be out about the end Sept or beginning of Oct, if you see anything will you let me know :)

Will do! The worst thing will be when the ones for the outbound date are released.....will still have to wait three weeks to book it as will be waiting for the inbound :) I don't know if they release them as the day comes up or in blocks though......:shrug:

I've been watching them and it seems to be daily, they are nearly into August now, but yes the worst bit is waiting for your return dates to come in and hoping you outbound dates do not fill up :unsure: , I am sure it will work out OK for you though. I spoke to VA about holding flights and someone told me the maximum they could do is 2 days, this may be worth doing as it get nearer to the release of your return date :)

Didn't realise that. The only other thing we were thinking is that last year Virgin did a 15% discount on holidays on Christmas day and New years day. Now do we wait and book their fly drive, hoping they might do it again, or book it as soon as they are released????

Flights can be booked 336 days in advance of your return date if you are booking a return flight.

I think it depends on how much you want to go, I can only go August next year, have pretty tight dates so will try to book as soon as it becomes available :)

Virgin need to sort out their mailing system. I have only just received the email about cheap flights so it's too late to buy the daily mail

It doesn't matter. Just go to www.virginatlantic.com/dailymail and all the offers are there. Thomascook.com also have access to the offer fares, so I imagine other agencies will also.:)
