View Full Version : Crimbo 2009 - VA
Hi,
I just booked flights with virgin for Christmas 2009 £349 per adult which I thinks pretty good. Long way off but going in November this year for two weeks too -very greedy but we love it:D. Never been for Christmas so very exciting!!

Crikey, that is a good deal. Might even think of going myself at that price.

How did you get flights so far in advance?

Because Virgin Holidays have an allocation with Virgin Atlantic, they know how many seats they can sell and at what price before the airlines release the flights on general sale (usually 3330 days or so before the date of travel).
That is a great price. The seats won't last long at that price!

did you book direct with VA holidays? I couldn't even get their website to look for next xmas....
Excellent rate. Well done.
did you all know that if you book online through [name edited] to Virgin Holidays, you'll get another 3% back [msnwink]

Virgin did raise their cashback to 3% but only for a short while and then it went back to the normal 1%
Just took a look at [name edited] online. Does anyone use them alot? It looks like a good deal but....... is it safe etc??
Frances all [name edited] does is direct you to the site you want to get to-it acts as a portal .We use them all the time -we don't buy anything online before checking whether the site is on [name edited] .

Yup, thats the way I use it, I always check if its going to give any discount, sometimes its worth using, other times its not. I just checked and I got the 3%, lucky me :)

Thank you Sean for the PM.

Is there any chance of finding out who this company is - or is it too exclusive for the likes of us commoners.

There is another way of getting a "deal"
I have a credit card with one of the high street travel agents which works likes this
1% in points for any purchase worldwide
2% in points for any purchase from them including currency and no charges
Using it abroad has no fees like the nationwide & post office cards
These points can be used to buy anything with them incl. things like airport parking
Plus negotiated a better discount with them than Virgin Holidays 5% online deal. plus a defererred deposit arrangement which using previous points meant all I handed over to book was a tenner
All added up it makes for a fair saving
Hi, I've booked for June 2009 with Virgin from Manchester for £360 for 2 weeks. I didn't think that was a bad price for the summer.[msnsmile2]
