ticket help required for October/November 2024 to Orlando
Posted: 09 Dec 2023, 14:42
Hi all,
for 20 years I was an annual Virgin flyer to Florida, the last time was when we got locked down in Orlando in March 2019 when Covid struck.
Since then health issues have prevented long haul travel, but I should be OK next year,
I will have no problem obtaining quality travel insurance covering my previous health problems.
Due to not being able to fly I have not been keeping track of flight prices etc like I used to.
In October/November 2024 myself and wife wish to take our son, daughter in law and 9 years old grandson to Orlando whilst I am fit enough to travel
myself and wife always fly PE with Virgin
my son, daughter in law and 9 years old grandson don’t want to waste money on PE but want 5 items of luggage between them (ie 1 bag each and purchase 2 extra bags) so looks like Economy Classic for them
we want to fly to Orlando MCO return for 21 days in the period commencing Friday 12th October 2024 to Friday 15th November 2024 so have a lot of flexibility to sort out cheapest prices
We live in the Midlands so could fly from either Heathrow or Manchester
I have 137,500 Virgin air miles to put towards tickets, miles and money, upgrade with miles etc
what is the best way to use them to get 2 x PE and 3 x Economy Classic seats
when are the best times to book to get best prices ?
are there any christmas, new year sales due ?
Can forum members please advise what they think are my best/cheapest alternatives as I am sure there will be a few different suggestions.
We are very experienced Florida travellers so do not need help with hotels, cars, destinations etc
