Schedule flights go on sale around 330-365 days before. You might get a charter flight before through a travel agent, but they will be subject to change.Accept your past without regret, handle your present with confidence and face your future without fear0

Florida is a very popular destination - you will find that in high season not many airlines need to discount there.
To answer your question BA and Virgin have sales on now.0 -

I think OP meant when are they available to buy, not when are they 'in the sale'.Accept your past without regret, handle your present with confidence and face your future without fear0 -
Yes I meant when do they go on sale to purchase, rather than on sale at discounted price.
So I am best off looking for flights June 2015 onwards for flights for July/Aug 2016?99.9% of my posts include sarcasm!Touch my bum :money:Tesco - £1000 , Carpet - £20, Barclaycard - £50, HSBC - £50 + Car - £1700SAVED =£0Debts - £28500 -

Probably even later. For example BA are selling seats up to 1st Jan 2016 at the moment, Virgin are only going up to 16th December 2015. All the other airlines will be about the same.
If you want to buy a package it will be sooner, you can book a Virgin holiday for summer 2016 now, but the flights times may change nearer the time.Accept your past without regret, handle your present with confidence and face your future without fear0 -
I booked our flights 6th September 2014 I think, we go July 18th. That was the first day they came out. Hope that helps.0

You only want to rent it for a couple of weeks, not buy the damn thing
