Help - Universal/Cruise/Home

[spm23]

Want to go back home next year and include a cruise, stay at home and a stay at universal.

Who do people use when wanting to mix it up like that, or do you book up everything separate and just start with a fly drive?

Probably will fly Virgin as started collecting their miles and have a credit card now to try and build up cheaper trips in the future.

Any help gratefully received.

Yes, we do it all separately, starting with flights (or fly-drive).

I check out lots of options on all the individual components and sometimes book directly with airlines/hotels/villa owners, sometimes go through agents. It all depends who seems to have the best deal :)

Like Hilary, I do everything separately too. I normally start off with flights at 11 months, checking out airlines' own sites (BA, Virgin and American Airlines) and then make price comparisons with Expedia and ebookers before booking. I then add the DVC and then any other components last, including car hire (with Airline Network) and any other hotels, which again, I usually book direct. Love the research involved in trying to get the best deal ;)
