Slight difference in price then. One has to ask "How the .......?!"
Using the airmiles made a massive difference, just priced it up on current prices without airmiles below. I suspect VH quote holidays without taking into account any free DDP or 42% off OKW, they might advertise it but at £12k I don't think they accounted for the offers in their quote.
so maybe about an extra £1000 total.
) Prices for OKW way less attractive than this years or last so it might be back to POFQ.
I am quite pleased with our price for this year. One adult and one child (10 years so adult by Disney standards for tix/dining)
18 nights at POFQ with 14 day Ultimates and QSDP: £2198
Return flights to MCO (including domestic connections): £990
Total: £3188
Still to purchase MNSSHP tickets - definitley one party night but thinking of doing 2
) but as for the airline, timings and route it was awesome! I actually thought of you when we were at the airport because I started asking you about it when you booked your trip in 2009 for last year Talk about 'meant to be'!! I'm glad I did it when I did because they were up over £100 each the next morning and I looked again over the weekend and it was $440-odd more per person on the same flights
That's ok - we went Continental last year and it was our best route ever. We had some really bad delays due to tropical storms (and a failed engine on the runway at EWR
I got the BA flights courtesy of a tip off on the DIS. I had just recieved a new credit card and it's a bit of a chuckle still when I think about it - I booked the flights and when the site wanted the security code I had to peel it off the letter it had come on in the post that day to see it
Have to say, it's good to see some decent prices from Glasgow as from what I've seen flight prices are extortionate these days. If we get to book through Disney's goodwill offer then I'm worried we won't get flights at anywhere near a decent price. Did you book yours as soon as they went on sale?
We flew from Glasgow direct to MCO with Virgin this Easter weekend for just under £600 . We did book about 8 weeks out and nearer the time the Sunday flight came down to around £500. however the Saturday flight rose again after we booked it. previous to that we were finding prices around £800
So I figured I could secure the booking and benefits at the cost (less the price of one extra night we wanted) and then if I got flights cheaper on different dates I could call back, change the dates and add the extra night I wanted anyway (to up the price and avoid the amendment charges). That's exactly what happened. The flights departing on the dates I wanted were coming up more by a couple of hundred quid for the two of us so I searched with flexible dates and by leaving 2 days earlier and coming back a day later we saved a LOT. So I ended up adding 3 more nights to the booking with Disney UK instead of one more and with the cheaper flights it still cost less than booking at our budgeted £600 per person. I am still of the view that there will always be both better and worse deals after you book no matter what so if you see something you think is good, just go for it - an hour later it is usually gone!
I know you are in Glasgow so it makes more sense to fly from there than from EDI but we have always gone from EDI because for some reason the same/similar flights have consistently come up cheaper. I don't know if its taxes perhaps that are higher flying from Glasgow?
I booked my accommodation a day short of the number of days we really wanted on purpose but it was actually the same day I got the sale flights. I did this because if you increase the cost of the holiday you don't pay the amendment fee
