is this a good price for lgw>sanford (orlando)?

350gbp for flight only 2 weeks out on 28/9/07. Or do you think prices will 'drop' as time goes on?

thanks for any observations about price

saveapenny

is that schedule flights?

You could probably pick up last minute charter for less than 200pp amybe even one of the less than 100pp ones that have been around because its still hurricanseason and its forcast it to be and el nino year so hurricans will be high and labour day ( around 21st Sept) as histroicaly been the peak time there will be cheapies to be had...if you want to risk it

Was that last Sept, as I think this new govmt 'green' taxation has pushed prices up?

Travel City have fly/drives for less than £300 at the end of September. As posted above, in the hurricane season prices should be very competitive.

I have used Travel City several times flying from Gatwick to Florida - booked by phone, the last one was for Sept 06 when we paid £200 for a flydrive holiday, booked in January 06 and added 2 more passengers at the same price in June 06. The "extras" were already in the price but they do add on a booking fee and the car insurance is not the cheapest about, I've not tried to book flight only with them. Travel insurance with them is an absolute rip off, but have taken it before and had to use it when grandson became ill and couldn't fault either the service from this end or the medical service received is Florida. And if you have a young child take your car/booster seat with you as the car hire company charge about $5 a day to hire one, you can buy one and throw it away before you leave for a lot less than that.
I have found them to be one of the cheapest carriers to Florida, I normally look on Teletext for a couple of weeks before I book as the prices can change and when I find a price I am happy to pay I book it. Our trip in Sept 06 cost less than half of the Virgin flydrive.
They are better than the other charters as drinks are included in the ticket price, so that can save you a few quid, in September you couldn't take any liquid on to US flights.

Hi skr80,
The price is about what I would expect.
If you are booking a package holiday then you can get some good deals at the moment.
If you are just booking flights direct then depending on when you actually book you'll be looking between £200 and £600
