    When is the best time to book? I am already looking at ideas for next years holiday which are either a good all-inclusive for two weeks in July (family of 4 - children 15 and 12 flying from Glasgow/Edinburgh) or two weeks in October to Florida - flights/villa/car hire. We usually book a year in advance in order to take advantage of free/reduced child places but now that the kids are over 12 I don't think they will qualify. Any advice would be welcome.

    Hi, I am looking for two return flights to Sydney, Australia in October and coming back next April. My girlfriend and I plan on travelling around Aus, seeing the sights and catching up with family. We can go anytime in October and would like to come back next April sometime. We are really flexible with the dates and the airport we fly out from. However we would like to fly in atleast premium level seating for as little as possible.

    So far the best I have with taxes etc is with Virgin going out 10th October until 15th April for £3381 with Virgin Atlantic.

    Can anyone beat this?


    1-Any UK Airport - My closest is Manchester but happy to go from LHR.
    2- Until about the 20th April 2007
    3-Anytime after 7th October 2006 (Really flexible) Can even be upto the end of October.
    4 - Flight Only
    5- 2 Adults
    6- Premium Seating / Business Class / World Traveller Plus etc.
    7- Flight to Sydney, Australia

    Thanks in advance
    Darren
