prices for flights

[domster]

What do you think you would pay for a maximum price for flights to Orlando. I will take direct and indirect on this one.

Dependant on time of year and school holidays so you'll get lot's of varied answers on this.
I said £300-£350 because that is our usual price we have paid through Charter on our trips so far (Nov, Dec x 3, April)

If I were to go in August for example I would probably go to £400-450 but can't justify paying more.

We are stuck with the peak times at the moment, our boys being at school and the oldest being in his GCSE year so we would be willing to pay £500 or slightly more just to get to go to Florida.[msnoo][msnsmile]

we have paid £320 for ours so far on both trips i think, so altho would like to pay a bit less dont really mind that, but have had 2 quotes from same place 6 weeks from 1st quote to 2nd (getting prices for daughter and partner and baby) and the prices are £100 difference already taxes etc!!!
but we go around Nov/Dec time so wouldnt expect to pay alot more for these times (not christmas)

We paid £283 last year, but since the question was about the maximum that I would be prepared to shell out, I went for the £300-350 range.

Very hard question simply because it depends entirely when you are going and also prices vary considerably from direct to indirect flights.

I once paid less than £300.00 but it did involve going via Amsterdam to Detroit and finally on to Orlando with the trip taking nearly 23 hours and though it was fun at the time im not sure i would do it again unless it was very cheap and if you have kids its not even an option.

My upcoming trip next month i paid £450.00 with Virgin/Continental,though i did miss a better deal a couple of times by ummming and errring if you get my drift.

If i was going in July/August and flying direct with Virgin i would be willing to pay up to £600.00.

We have to go in July/August for 3 reasons, its school hols, we like to go for 3-4 weeks and its our business quiet time.

We also like to go Virgin Premium so it cost £1100 per adult and £800 per child, as you can imagine our total costs for flights is hefty.

P.S We are not rich!!!!![msnscared]

This is a tough one, I have voted for £350-£400 at the time we usually go which is Oct/Nov but if I had to pay £600 each or not go, then I would pay it. We paid an extra £150 each on our first trip to upgrade to Premium and wanted to this time as I have terrible coccyx pain in economy but with prices for premium with Virgin at £779 per adult, I have bought a strange looking coccyx cushion for £12.99 so lets hope it works[msnsmile2]

You asked the max I would be prepared to pay. Depends on how desperate I was to get there. When my sister and I booked last year we wanted direct flights but left it too late to book for half term so flew PE going and Upper Class coming back, it was more than £600+....On that occasion I was prepared to pay it ( not cos I'm rich but because it was important to travel at that time) but it wouldn't be a regular thing[msneek]
I think £500 for a direct flight in peak season is not unreasonable, but would hope to get one for a lot less off peak and booking well in advance.

We have never paid over £350 whatever the season, this is either by using charter travel or a friend who is an independant agent so doesn't charge us any commission and has the time to look around, also flexability of dates. shift working can be useful at times.
