If you use tesco coupons they are a great deal IMHO - can't find cheaper prices anywhere and Virgin has great entertainment onboard and the convenience of the DTD checkin.

How much do the coupons knock off?

Personally, I wouldn't fly virgin unless they were the cheapest (not likely) on flights. Their entertainment (from when I went) was no better than elsewhere, personally I think Continental have the best trans atlantic entertainment systems, though the DTD check in is nice.

I thought they were poor on board (was offered 2 drinks on the entire flight) and utlimately that and the entertainment are what I grade quality on.

Virtually the whole cost of your holiday, if your lucky! I paid £16 cash for four of us in August. That includes Disney Dining as well.

Just looking at flights in November, and the cheapest I can find is £705 for two, flying economy from Manchester with US Air. As I have only just started looking, not sure if this is a good deal, would I be better waiting a bit, and do US Air have a good reputation?
Thanks

That's not a BAD quote for non-peak season but you might find a little bit better, especially as it will be non-direct with US Air. Try looking at some of the flight comparison websites like kayak.co.uk and travelsupermarket.com. You could also look at the flight-only cost with the likes of Monarch, Thomson and Thomas Cook, who fly to Orlando Sanford Airport. If you have to fly from Manchester, though, your choice will be more limited.

That's great. Usually though you do have to pay around £200 for the fuel and the park tickets aren't discounted unless you get a nice rep on the phone.

Lets all get back on task!!!

I want to visit the beach in florida. Which one do people recommend?

Anywhere on the Gulf coast... St Petes beach is a favorite of mine. Have a look at The Sirata Beach Hotel... It's stunning.

Or Englewood is stunning, there are some nice villas around that area if you're taking a family or a slightly larger party this would be more cost effective. Bradenton is right in the middle of the two and there is a lot to do there.

I personally don't recommend Naples or Marco Island... Sorry to anybody that loves this region I know that it's popular, please enlighten me if I'm missing something but it's over priced and not a lot to do.

Send me a PM if you want any more info.

Can you use vouchers for holiday only (flights ,accomodation,etc) or can you use for just flights.

Ok Smarty pants.

That wasn't intended to be a smart comment.

Flights and accomodation with Tesco clubcard points.
