    Probs me just beeing thick but how do you register for fare alerts i cant seem to find it :o

    Hi! Not you - isn't very clear on homepage.

    Go to http://www.kayak.co.uk/flights?ispredir=true Choose ORLANDO ALL AIRPORTS as destination (just leave the default dates). A Grid will appear on the right with a link to FARE BUZZ underneath. When you click that, TRACK FARES BY E-MAIL is in top left.

    Because they deal in scheduled flights, they are only showing fares to Jan 2011 as yet. Good Luck!

  • I am also looking for flights to Florida Easter 2011 - I checked Thomson and flights are £800+ pp, Manchester to Florida. This seems very expensive to me - what sort of prices should I expect to pay?

    Would I be better off just looking for a package holiday? We would be 2 adults, 2 children.

    When is the best time to book? Any hints and tips appreciated, thanks.
  • Forgot to say - we live in Birmingham, but happy to fly from London or Manchester.

    We've just booked a flydrive for easter next year with Virgin. My sons school breaks up friday 8th April and we've booked flights from manchester on 5th april. It means taking him out of school for 4 days but to fly just a day later the price goes up £1000!!! We paid £2100 for 2 adults and 2 children for 18 nights. It was £3300 to go from 6th april onwards!

    BA. I tracked their prices for a few weeks and then overnight they dropped to these prices for about a week then started creeping up again.

    We normally book with virgin for round about this time. We arn't going this year but going the same time as you next year. It normally cost me about £330 each (paid this in 2009 for same period). This year it has gone up loads and there wasnt any special deals to be had - hence why we're not going. You just have to keep watching the deals on the virgin website. Normally they put the special deals for this period on about august time. But you do have to be quick and they do change sometimes on a daily basics. We fly from manchester.

    we booked the flights over easter this year last july really cheap 4 of us flying from Newcastle to Atlanta for a total price of £1100, same flights now are nearly that each. So I would suggest booking early and keep and eye on kayak. has been suggested that we got them before the easter holidays were factored into the price but not so sure.
