Package or DIY to Florida 2006

idv

Hi

Does anybody have a list/details of companies that sell Virgin Flights, I am looking for the best price fly drive for July 2006.

Some I know about are

Virgin Holidays
Jetsave
Funway

any others ?

Also do you think I would be better off either

1.) Booking a package holiday from Virgin, CO-OP etc.(trying to use martins method)

2.) Book a Fly Drive and then hotels independently.

3.) Book Flights, then car hire and hotels independently

Finally does anybody know when I would be able to price hotels for July next year ?? A lot of the sites I have tried do not go that far in advance and the same is true for flights? even though you can book a fly drive with Virgin Holidays on Virgin Atlantic but you cant book past June 2006 directly with the airline!!!

Does it have to be a Virgin flight?
Try Travelcity Direct they are much cheaper and Sunshine first is just as good as Prem if not better

Hi there - have you called Travelox/Beat the brochure?

We booked with them for our honeymoon last year, for 3 weeks in Florida and they can put together each part of your holiday - with your set criteria. We got a great deal from them for scheduled flights to Philadelphia - and then onto Orlando (always go for scheduled as you get so much more of a baggage allowance - 60kg instead of 15kg) they also got us a great £26 a night at the Radisson Barcelo. It all worked out a much easier, nicer and cheaper way to do it compared to booking a package.

or prob best to call them 0870 950 9690 - and the best part - they don't try to 'sell you' the stuff!

Try www.baholidays.com for hotels for next year. I have been online and got a quote for October 2006 and apparently BA offer some really good rates on hotels. With scheduled airlines you can only book 11 months in advance, whereas with charter airlines you can book until the end of October 2006.

Have you considered a villa rather than a hotel?

Take a look at http://www.orlando-guide.info/forums/default_9.asp

Lots of info and links for travel including flights next year, car-hire etc.

I haven't done this, nor have any connection with this site, but had the Holiday committee voted Florida rather than Canada, I would have gone with this option!

If you are certain about going to a hotel, why not contact them directly by e-mail for their prices for July '06 - that's what I do?
