flights for Easter 06

[sundowner]

I am always put off changing at airports, as I always believe that one or the other plane is going to be cancelled, late etc.

By the way Leisa, where on earth did you find those flights so cheap ?? Hubby was just telling me today that he hopes his contract will end at beg Dec - so who knows, we may decide to jet off.

Try moving your booking so it is a few days before the children break up - you will be amazed what a difference it makes

We must have really dropped lucky last Easter as we only booked about 14 nights before and managed to get flights for 2 weeks from Manchester for £289 and they were direct flights to Sanford.

Karen you were extremely lucky, who did you fly with? We always fly midweek, the flights are so much cheaper and more are available, I know it means moving everything, taking children out of school for an extra day or to, but it does mean we arrive back a couple of days earlier to give them time to adjust. We also will split the flights, by going to New York and flying Delta Song down to Orlando, your friend should not be worried about the Song flight, I am not a keen flyer, but I am running to get on this plane, with its satellite tv, inflight quiz and such happy friendly staff.

We went at easter last year, didn't think how much the flights would be and was shocked when we started looking. We were able to mess around with the dates and saved a fair bit by flying out on good friday. We did book 11 months before and everytime we looked after to see how much they were they had gone up each time.

Karen, you were very lucky!! you try it now!!
as i said before tho, my friend really doesnt like flying, its really not an option to break the flight into two stages, he says he cant do another flight in the same day!(thanks but he really cant) we had suggested this to him,
we have also said to our friend (i do feel responsable for this, we sang the praises of where we stayed so much that they booked the same villa!!!! [msneek]we were really happy, but just didnt realise there would be so much trouble getting flights for then!!, will just add, we are being offered business class!
have tried looking at dates either side, but there isnt much option there either. most for breaking the flight, no chance and secondly business class no chance, i think it looks like they will be moving it to 2007?[msnsad]

Hi

Scanning through the post I realise your friends may not wish to break the flights but just for your information and for those that have also been looking, we are still getting availability for dates of the 1st - 15th april 2006 and a day either way from heathrow indirect 1 change, flights with United airlines, it is indirect I am afraid but the prices very good for the peak travel dates and would be £329 per adult and £229 per child all plus tax of £69 per person.
