florida flights

hello

looking to book florida for june 2020 for 21 days.
had various quotes for packages but found its cheaper to book seperately ourselves.
trouble is the flights........ i can olnly find tui and thomas cook flights available to book for our dates as the rest have yet to release the date, weekend of june 20th for departure.

so do i go ahead and book the cheapest currently available , thomas cook or wait for the rest to release dates and risk current flight prices going up or being sold out.
would really love to get virgin flights if possible.
current price is 2400 for 2A+2C.

manythanks for any advice.

    Have you looked at flydrive prices with Virgin Holidays?
    They will be selling June 2020 and we have sometimes found the prices comparable to booking flights and car independently.

    Personally I would wait till Virgin releases their June 2020 flights. If the prices are still too high then maybe wait further until Virgin has one of their sales. Dont know where you intending flying from / to but Virgin tends to have a far bit of capacity on it's Florida routes.so selling out early is unlikely.

    At the moment it only allows upto Feb 2020 to book. June, I understand won't be available to book until aug/sept.
    Just don't want to wait to find out virgin/ba prices are a lot more that what is currently available with tui/thomascook.
    Would like to get villa and car booked while we have most choice.

    The main thing - be careful with the insurance because you can overpay for it. I myself often rent a car. Now I have a car booked inGreen Motion Orlando.Chek the reviews on various websites about the company and do not agree to insurance. And everything will be fine

    Trouble with green Motion is a lot of insurance companies won't cover them

  • When booking flights most airlines won’t let you book until 330 days before your due home date.

    Correct, but fly drive pricing with tour operators, including Virgin Holidays, are available much further than the 330 day period.
