Damn am looking only for Aug/Sep, oh well looks like I'm flying from Manchester or Gatwick, hmph!

Is there any way of second guessing what flight prices will be? VH have just quoted me £3200 and the Disney person was £1700. If flights are £1500 i will be worse off doing it that way as i will still need to sort out car hire, but if they are £1000 i will be about £200 better off (after taking into account the car hire)

Not really, no. You can get an idea from the VH Fly Drive prices for that time as possible the top end costs, so for Sept 08 its £539 per person inc 1 week car hire (Sorry "free" hah!)

You should know within weeks.
BA are up to 6th september, so by 12th october you should be able to go online and get a quote for all of Sept 08. Virgin will be around the same price

Just did that and it made it £1800. I think that perhaps just booking with Virgin will be the best thing to do. At least then its done and i dont have to worry about it anymore.

thanks for all your replies

I have doing a similar things weighing up independent vs package for last 2 weeks in Aug and there's not much in it.

Have you tried Thomsonfly as they come up cheapest for me on flights only.

If you do book through Virgin on-line join Quidco.com first, follow the link on to the Virgin Holidays site and you'll save a further 3% through cashback. I have done this several times...at all helps.
