    Yes Florida can be had for bargain price if your looking for late deal try first choice and cost it up on line because sometimes it shows a lot cheaper than advertised price.
    Yes many people here use Travelrepublic without any problems.
    We used them to go to Corfu and found hotel in middle of no where and have heard this few times with TR so check out locations first on trip advisor or holidays uncovered
    And last but not least at not wishing to gloat :) what price was florida ?
    we usually pay anything from £450 upto about £750 for 2 adults and 1 child staying on International drive with flight included my travel use to do bargain packages but havnt seen any recently

    Hi can you tell me who you go through to get florida at that price and was that for 1 week or two please??? Thanks x

    I used them last tear and was worried, they were so cheap.
    I booked to stay in one hotel and they rang a few days before to say that hotel was overbooked and would we accept an "upgrade". Checked it out and it was a nicer hotel so agreed.
    When we arrived hotel was lovely but the room was too small - 4 beds for family of 5 in one small room! Rang them as hotel staff not bothered. -Within 2 hours we were in a suite so big we didn't need all the rooms and it had fab seaview.
    Found out that the original hotel was awful and they had so many complaints that they stopped sending people in.
    I would certainly use them again.

    I've just come back from a few days in Spain. I booked my accommodation with Travel Republic as they were cheaper than others for the same place. No problems whatsoever.

    Hi Mandy
    sorry for delay,
    we have been with my travel always under last minute deals usually within 6 wks of travel,car inc but NOT insurance, we never take car.
    our last one was with first choice again under late deals from gatwick and price it up because usually comes back cheaper than advertised price and we go for 2 wks which still is;nt long enough :) leaving from gatwick usually apr/may time, we could of gone nov for £600ish again all in for 3 of us, let me know your dates and people travelling etc and I will keep eye out for you..
    I would love to be a Travel Agent :j

    I think it does

    I have noticed that all flights are scheduled on there to US so thats why OP has found 12 days.

    Personally Im finding cheaper on icelolly fo 14 days in a better hotel , but the flight alone is a great price.

    I've bookd flights already with Virgin directly, £330 return for the 12 night stay we're planning. I'm hoping to find a hotel for ~£400, so far we've not made a decision but we've been tempted by a few around Wet n Wild / Universal.

    We booked with Travel Republic, and ended up in this hotel which was very reasonable. It was at the 'posh', quiet end of I Drive (upside down house end) Typical Orlando hotel, comfortable, free internet, clean.

    We are going back next year, and we will book the hotel direct this time - on their website. I don't know why I never though of it before - will never again book the whole thing as a package....the savings if you book direct with the hotel are huge.

    Bring it on! :j
