Hi ther i am a new member, i am planning to go to florida in the summer for two weeks holidays, 2 adults and 2 kids in our party, we would like to fly from dublin to orlando and rent a villa with pool can anyone help me with advice on the best flight deals, and also villa rental? Martin.
Hi Martin,
Being irish I think I can help. We always fly from Dublin - via New York or Newark - Continental have some good deals at present.Booked a friend recently for €520 return in July.
Have a look through the villas on this site - all are excellent homes and Owners will be only too willing to advise on communities etc.
Enjoy the holidays

Hi!
I absolutely agree that this is the best site for Villas in Orlando. I had 54 replies to my 4-bed/3-loo villa query within 48 hours! Most seemd excellent value and we were really spoilt for choice. But we chose well and are very happy with it.
As for flights and car rental, we (live in the UK) got a great deal from Charter Travel, who were recommended by Orlando Villas. We paid £259 plus tax on Virgin return from Gatwick. I am not sure how well that compares with your rates from Dublin. Have you considered the option of crossing over to the UK overland and flying out from here? It may be cheaper, but I don't know for sure.

Hi
I'm from Dublin too and we always fly through Gatwick with Virgin or BA. Keep in mind flights to Tampa too- my sister saved €1000 on a family of 7 flying into Tampa and out of Orlando with BA.
Also Continental code share with Virgin on the 12.30 flight from Gatwick so keep an eye out for this. I knwo it means doing immigration in US rather than Dublin but I find just to get off and be there is great. You get the hanging round airports when you are tired out of the way in the morning.
Agents for virgin in Dublin are Club travel in Abbey Travel.5005500
Also you will have to phone BA to get flights into Tampa and out of Orlando they can't handle this online.
Good luck.
