    Good deal on expedia for Cabana bay resort

    Hi Dixonsontour, Can I please check whether your booking confirmation specified the free breakfasts as mine didn't? I've asked Expedia to confirm this and they're having to check with the hotel direct about it, which was nearly a week ago..... Thanks

    Good deal on expedia for Cabana bay resort

    Thanks for sharing this. I've got an existing booking direct through the Universal website, however this Expedia deal offers better value, so I'd better cancel and rebook I guess!

    Cabana Bay - do they ever match better rates?

    I've got an existing reservation for 14 nights at Cabana Bay in the fall made direct through the Universal website, however Expedia are currently offering 2 free breakfasts daily which makes this a better deal. Has anyone ever had an onsite hotel match a deal being offered by another agent, or...

    Have any uk people booked with orbitz

    I booked flights from MAN to MCO return via Orbitz in 2010 as they were cheapest. Booking was fine, as mentioned you do pay in dollars so bear that in mind when using your card as some have fees for foreign transactions.

    Refrigerator for medical reason

    Thanks for sharing your experience. My DH takes a couple of meds for different conditions, so I wondered whether I needed to bring documentation as proof but it would appear not.

    Offered Virgin Seat Plus

    A couple of weeks ago I booked 2 seats with Virgin from MAN to MCO out on 17th Sept 14, returning on the 28th Sept. Yesterday I received a call from Virgin offering me 'Seat Plus' on our outbound flight for £60 (couldn't offer it to me on the return leg as it was full apparently). Is this...

    Virgin rant!

    Flew Virgin to Las Vegas last month and we were moved from the seats I'd requested at the back of the bubble to two rows in front to accommodate a family with a special needs member. We did keep our last row seats on the way back though, which was appreciated.

    Connecting flights & hand luggage query

    Thank you - you're spot on. I just checked in online and followed the link to the TSA's regulations where they explained it fully as you describe. Rather worryingly when I checked in the flight to New York is overbooked, so the airline are looking for 'volunteers' with flexible travel...

    Connecting flights & hand luggage query

    I'm catching a flight from Manchester to MCO tomorrow, via JFK. With regard to hand luggage and liquid items at JFK, will these be confiscated or are they ok as long as they're less than 100ml and in a clear plastic bag? Thanks -am in midst of last minute packing panic!

    Universal & Birthday Treats! - Help Please!

They phoned me back to offer a personal Meet & Greet with a character of our choosing, you just turn up to Guest Services with your reference and they arrange the character/location/time when...

    Delta Airlines Seat Allocation question

    I booked Delta flights through Orbitz five weeks ago, for travel at the end of Sept. I was able to log into my booking on the Delta website, using the flight confirmation number, and choose our seats. I would try to choose your seating now, or you'll end up with whatever is available when you...

    Ramada inn lakefront (idrive) or seralago kissimmee

    I'm contemplating booking the Ramada Inn for 15 nights from 30 Sept as Alpharooms.com are offering rooms on a B&B basis for £25 a night, including Quidco. Although it doesn't rank highly on Tripadvisor the recent reviews are all largely positive. It is very handy for Universal, where I shall be...

    Insurance after Luekemia?

    I'm also looking for insurance to cover my DH who was diagnosed with lymphoma last year. I've just tried Travelbility and Columbus to see what their quotes were like for 16 days cover in Oct: Travelbility quoted £208 and Columbus £48, both including the condition. I think it goes to show that...

    Springhill Suites £29/night incl

    There are 10 weeks to go until we travel so hopefully a bargain deal will crop up before then. If not, that's the way it goes. $29 a night for accommodation leaves a lot more $$ in the pot for spending;)

    Springhill Suites £29/night incl

    Unfortunately can't change dates as flights are booked, however I'll keep looking at the Travelzoo link Wayne posted for Oct dates to appear (fingers crossed!)

    Springhill Suites £29/night incl

    That looks to fit the bill ideally for what we were looking for - unfortunately that rate is not available for my dates of 30 Sept to 15 Oct :sad2:
