Best Vigin Atlantic 2004 price?

[englishman]

Virgins site quotes circa £720 for a July 04 adult return fare.

Has anyone done better for this summer & if so, how did you do it?

Thanks guys.

Don't forget that BA cover the same routes. Also, you might get cheaper flights by flying into Tampa.

Just got a quote of £624 with Virgin holidays to do a flydrive with a car free for a week, which you decline to take any insurances on and, not sure if they would penalise you for not collecting the car but worth enquiring!

Try DIAL A FLIGHT we got flights with Virgin through them flying from Manchester in july for around £620 inc car hire. Ask for Gavin he was so helpful

Hi,

Look at expedia.co.uk. I don't think they can be beaten. I bought three tickets ten days ago travelling July 24 for just a little under £500 each with a compact car and insurance!

The rates quoted on Virgin Atlantic's website are always way in excess of what we actually pay. There are various classes of fare and, presumably, those quoted on the website are the full fare option.

We booked Virgin Flydrive through Virgin Travelstore to fly 1 July at £680 + tax for Premium Economy (to include 2 weeks luxury car hire and fully inclusive insurance package). We subsequently changed the date to 5 July at the same rate. That rate was only available for some dates around that time, though, so I think it helps if you can be flexible.

We booked through a company called Kenwood Travel flights with Virgin and staying at the Quality Inn International 2 adults a 12 year old and a 9 year old for £1859

We just booked BA through www.bon-voyage.co.uk for Novemeber at very good rates.

Call them and see what they can do for you.

Thanks for all your advice.

Back in 98 I was able to get good rates by phoning on the day of exactly 11 months ahead, or something like that.

Does this work these days?

Once again thanks!!
