    DO you enjoy insulting other MSE ers?
    Not at all, veruccasalt. But why only ask me, as opposed to all the other people throwing insults? Perhaps because it's easier to side with the crowd?

    However, if you tell me who is flying,(No of passengers) from what airport, and which dates you would prefer, pre-booked seats?, on board meals?, oh and of course a flight attendant to spoon feed you.

    Your post made me laugh this morning, thanks. They are ungrateful and considering I have just paid over £1200 for flights for 2 adults and 2 Kids to Florida yours is a great posting and I think we all knew it was plus taxes - ignore the nitpickers posting on here and don't let it put you off. Just don't respond to their messages and let them nitpick more, just post your next bargain and don't let it bother you.

    Nice post - shame I just booked 2 weeks in Florida (less than 48 hours ago Grrrrr) and I could have used this with my timeshare week, don't think I'll get away with getting the kids more time off now!! :rolleyes:

    What sort of aircraft do they put you on for this price? That does play an important part.

    I know someone who got a great deal to the Dominican Republic and were put on the type of plane that's unbareable just to go to the Med, it also stopped off in Canada too and took about 13 hours. They said never again at any price.

    good post. a few weeks back booked my flight with them (lgw>sanford) for 50 quid plus tax (=180pp). I thought this was a great price.
    From researching - the planes are the typical cramped cattle type ones - due to the seating layout (next July nicer seating apparently) - but is direct.

    For me tho, a few hours of discomfort / standing up on plane is worth it for the price :)

    If only there was enough room to stand up in economy class! It would certainly be better then being in the cramped seats that they shoe horn you into.

    Personally, I can just about manage a few hours on the uncomfortable flights you get to the Med, but couldn't face around 10 hours each way on the same sort of flight.

    We flew Emirates to Dubai which was a completely different level of comfort and experience and it underscores the immense difference between specialist short haul and long haul carriers.
