I'm trying to find flights to Orlando in October with these details...
LON > ORL
Out: 21 October
Ret: 28 October
Two adults (one a student) and two 'children' (aged 13 & 16, so adults to most companies).
The best I've got so far is a total of £1,664 (£416 each) with Travelpack.com, using US Airways via Philadelphia. Direct flights appear to be roughly twice the price - damn these things called school holidays!
Anybody able to beat that?0 -
Them flights are cheap to be honest, if they include all tax
If you can do in the indirect service I would book these they will only go up in price
Thanks

This is a long shot, but here goes...
The Quote itself: £346 1 adult, £683 2 adults, 2 rooms.
Who the quote is from: holidaygems.co.uk
Is there a booking fee: No
The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: Airline = Monarch
The departure Airport/Post: Gatwick
The Holiday Dates: 13-28 Sep 2010
The number of people travelling: 1 or 2 adults
The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival): My Meric, Turunc Bay
The Board (self catering/half board etc): AI
Is an in-flight meal included: Probably not.
I'll know by Friday if I'll be travelling alone or not and wouldn't mind booking then. Turunc looks lovely, but anywhere reasonably quiet and warm will do, it doesn't have to be Turkey, but 14 nights all inclusive from the 13th Sep is essential.
The price quoted included flights out of Gatwick/Dalaman at about 6am, I'd like anything I book to leave no earlier than 0500 and no later than midday.
Oh and that price didn't include transfers.
Any of the london airports are OK if both of us are travelling and any of the London airports and Bristol/Exeter are OK if I'll be going alone.
I don't expect any of you will be able to beat that quote, but I would like to send my hard earned/saved in the direction of a MSE user, this site has done sooooo much for me and it'd be lovely to give a little something back to the community.
Cheers folks
