Cheap flights August 09

[wayneg]

Ones I just saw for ours dates were these below, great times for indirect only £348, a nice saving on Virgin at £737 for the same dates.
Someone has posted on another forum they have found Heathrow to Tampa for £380
Best way of finding them is on Travelsupermarket.com will give you details of where to book.
Shame I have already booked I would have snapped these up, BHX is only 2 hours from me.

nice prices!!

i can't book this far in advance...
in fact, i always use an agent, so that i don't have to buy the tickets until a few days before the flight (i reserve the flight and then i only pay and get the tickets a few days before the flight)...
i never really know if i'm going, until i'm on the plane..

i used kayak.com last year to find domestic flights (inside the US), when DD and i had to fly around the US....
it was really really helpful in finding the cheapest flights...

I find Kayak very hit and miss, I do use it every time I am searching but it sometimes misses available flights.
Only way is to use a few search engines then hopefully between them they pick up everything available.
Main ones I use
Kayak
Travelsupermarket
Kelkoo
Orbitz (Not so great now with stronger $ but was brilliant earlier this year, paying in $'s saved us loads)

I think you will have the pick of resorts next August the way the economies are on both sides of the pond. We got OKW for £91/night incl free DDP which was a bargain compared to Disney.com at $331.88 (£215)/night just room only . We are there 6th-22nd then on DCL for 7 nights So won't check into AKL until you have left 29th-31st.
If your numbers come up though I will be out looking for you for a free drink

the way things are going they will be shuttering a few resorts up,like after 9/11. i think one mod and one value

Wayne You Are "Da Best" I Have Just Booked Our Flights (Cheap As Chips ) For Next August A Big Thanks To You

I couldn't sleep on Monday night and found really cheap flights on netflights.com (and Opodo were only a little more expensive) at 4am. Since there was 8 of us going (three different households) I had to clear it with everyone and we finally booked tonight and I nearly had a heart attack when I saw this thread thinking that we were going to miss out (as we did with the flights Wayne got) by getting everyone to agree in a timely manner with too many Dissers booking up after seeing this thread- but we got the flights okay.

So we got Glasgow to Orlando International (via Philly) leaving August 4th and returning on the 25th (18th/2 weeks was same price) for only £345.50 an adult and the kids prices were a little cheaper. Hope this helps some more folks.

Yup! 2 hours and 55 mins on the way out and only an hour and 37 mins on the way back. I don't know if we are allowed to go out and back through security though But it's killing mum knowing she can't smoke (she could in Detroit and Memphis last trip).

aahh that is a short period of time to go out... you might get long lines around the TSA bummer!!! And yeah... no smoking in all over PHL ... sorry Mum!!!

Just checked our dates again(6th-31st August), BHX to MCO now only £317 with Opodo. Fantastic prices for August.

That is a good price. I need to book somewhere next August and would love to get a price like that. Where is the best place to book Disney resorts?

Thanks.
