I know that Virgin release 'advance bargain tickets' for trains at certain times as i have purchased them myself, but do they do similar with flights?

I want to fly from manchester to orlando international florida on 19th June returning on 30th. what sort of price would be the cheapest im going to get? ive seen them on the net ranging from 300 each to 900 each!!!

any advice much appreciated!
thanks

    You'll likely pay a huge fare with 3 days notice.

    They are (they're)     sitting on the floor.
    Their     books are lying on the floor.
    The books are sitting just there on the floor.

    Or even -27 days. I gather time travel isn't cheap?

    Anyway, back to the less pedantic, if you're thinking of using Virgin as a direct carrier, then their current prices of £250 ish + tax are unlikely to be much cheaper as it's the cusp of a high season. If you don't mind indirect, i'd leave it a month or two, as not all airlines have released their fares.

    Charter flights, can't help you with though.
