Good flight deals from Scotland

[gilly]

We were beginning to despair when trying to book flights from either Glasgow or Prestwick for July, stupid quotes like £700 and £800 per adult. Then I contacted Direct Holidays and they gave us best price ever, £450 per adult and £350 per child, child prices are for kids up to 16, unlike most other airlines who class a child as 12 years and over. Its a direct flight from Glasgow to Sanford and great times too. I'll certainly call Direct Holidays first from now on. P.S. cant wait until July!!!!

Hi shazbat,
we are going 5 - 19 July 03, and booked our flights last August but here is the phone number for Direct Holidays anyway, 0870 606 3920, its always worth a try. Another good site to try is www.ebookers.com another is www.cheapestflights.co.uk , we used this one last time we went to florida and they gave us a good deal, it was at a different time of year though. Let me know if you have any joy, good luck

Sorry, just getting the hang of this so my last post was wrong. I have just managed to get cheap flights from Prestwick to Sanford leaving 3 July with Thomas Cook Online. Only 350 pounds each! They are flying out every Thursday through the summer if it is any help to anyone

Sounds good - we paid £2,250 for 2 adults and 3 kids at Easter and that was indirect from Edinburgh to Amsterdam and finally MCO. It would have been more expensive from Glasgow.
Who are you flying with?

Flying with My Travel (I hope, heard they are having a bit of trouble)

I'm sure i read somewhere that My Travel's bankers had agreed to a refinancing proposal of some description so you will have no problems with your flights. I also heard that their bookings for summer were up a wee bit. I was looking for flights to Orlando for Sept/Oct 03 and was very nearly booking a fly drive from Glasgow to Sanford when i thought i would take a wee look at the BA site on the off chance that there might be an offer of some description. It turns out that from Aberdeen to MCO (via Gatwick) was £417 (including taxes) each. I then got a good deal on a minivan. So all in all we saved about £450-£500 plus we are now flying from Aberdeen (10 mins away) instead of a couple of hours drive to Glasgow.

Hi

Try www.flights.co.uk lots of cheap charters around at the moment.
We have just paid £149.00 Glasgow - Sanford.
Cheack on-line and then phone to book all went very easily and the staff knew what they were doing. First charter we have used for a while but at that price we will pack the cool bag and enjoy our sarni's on the way (no meals in the price - what a shame!)
