Virgin Holiday price increase overnight: help!

fatboyslick

Hi everyone

So on Friday we found a great holiday to Orlando on 5th May for £699 (ish) and we wanted to book it. We've had to wait until today though when we could confirm our holidays at work...which we did!

So tonight we've gone to re-do the holiday but the price has gone up to over £850

We're gutted because we can't afford it now!

Is this usual and what are the chances of the price dropping again? Why does this happen; feel completely dejected

Holiday prices are fluid; it happens.

Ring them and ask if there are any extra deals, maybe explain calmly about the price increase and see if they are anything they can do to help you.

It won't harm to ask.

I wasnt sure if I was just being unlucky or Virgin were up to dirty tricks.

I booked with Virgin last thursday £824 pp then over the weekend

BA is faaaar to expensive this year and flying from London which doesnt help me.

My problem is that we kinds need to stick with Virgin because their planes are really good for our needs. I suffer IBS and struggle on small planes with long toilet queues and crap service

ring a few travel agents and see what prices they are getting, pick their brains as they may be able to tell you if their was a sale on that has now finished

It's probably just a case that the £699 seats and room have been booked, so the next available seat was £150 more
