    Can anyone beat either of these for me please ?????

    Just some background, I am on a really tight budget, so can bring the travel day forward a couple of days if it helps. I'd rather go direct with Virgin (the rest of the family is on this and I'm travelling as a suprise to my nephews!), but understand that they are not always the cheapest. These are the 2 best quotes I've had so far.

    I can also fly into Sanford if it's cheaper.

    Look forward to your replies !

    Thanks Del !

    I am wanting to book, but what do you think about late deals ? Am I likely to get anything cheap if I wait until say, a week or 2 before ?
