Hi

Got great flights yesterday with virgin using M&M at £444 each for August 24th next year. I was pretty pleased as this is what we paid last December. Also this time I will be taking my sister, her Hubby and there 3 kids! So that will be 7 of us :0)

Hope someone else can grab a bargain!

Great price, the price always drops around 22nd August, we hope to take advantage of the lower prices in 2012 when DS has finished his Alevels.
Happy planning!!!

You only use 2,000 miles for a M&M economy return fare.

Well done on getting a great price.

Thanks, I was stunned yesterday tbh when I saw them.

As Wayne said you only use 2000 per person and pay the difference.

It has definately made the holiday a lot cheaper than we where expecting.

We where originally going on the 26th aug so a slight nudge back is fine and Disney didn't charge us for the date change which again was a bonus!

I must say though I rang virgin as we had to pay it on two cards as there are the two families and the customer service over the phone was fantastic. I spoke to two ppl and they where lovely.

Hope someone else grabs a bargain.

I cannot wait now two wks at SSR in 2bed villa with DDP tickets and flights all booked!!

It's the kids first time and I cannot wait to get them there and watch there little faces light up and jaws drop. Lol

We booked a few weeks ago with BA for August-7th till 21st and since then the prices have risen quite a bit so pleased we booked when we did !

SSR is a lovely resort

How far in advance can you book VA flights using M&M - about 11 months?

 

[DisneyB2B]

Cantwait - Glad to hear good reviews on SSR it will be our first time staying there which block did you stay in?

Shazzi - Not sure on this maybe wayne or somebody maybe able to answer your question.

 

[wayneg]

Sometimes M&M fares are available as soon as the release of the seats 11 month out, sometimes you have to wait, if in school hols they don't always release any at all. All you can do is check every day, I check 3-5 times a day when looking.

Can i use my miles to book someone else's flight?

Yes, I have booked M & M fares for relatives who are going with us next August.

Yes, even if you're not travelling. My Dad has booked a m and m fare for me for next March.

Great news.Let the planning beginAre you doing a suprise trip for the kids or is it too hard to keep a secretDont know how lee(Tiggs) did it. Great price especially for august.

 

[DisneyB2B]

Hi Crabbie, sadly not a suprise trip but still will be the first. The youngest is already getting excited and asking which characters he will be able to see from toy story. Lol bless him

I would love to plan a surprise trip when we have little one of our own.
