December 2010 Prices?

[gemmybear83]

I can't believe how much flight prices have gone up this year

We paid £300 in January to fly in October with Virgin (this was in a flight sale).

Were getting married in Florida next December and I will be booking our flights and arranging flights/accomodation for our family too.

On expedia Virgin and BA flights are coming up for December 2010 (not sure why as its not 11 months yet ). Anyway for Fri 3rd Dec - Fri 10th Dec 2010 Man - MCO with Virgin is £471 return, from Gatwick it is slightly more. Do you think this is a good price given the flight price rises, and do you think December flights will be in usual Virgin/BA sale?

No idea how you got the price, Expedia are only allowing me to look upto 6th Nov 2010. Virgin direct upto 12th Nov.

Strange, flights are not available so far in advance. Try click on any of the prices to buy and you get this. They look to have some kind of error on their site allowing you to enter the dates but you can't get a confirmed price.

One of your flights is no longer available at this price

Weird! I am guessing they have them in their system for £471 return but they wont appear until the 11 month period?

Possible, I don't know. I would wait until they are available as see. Early Dec is off peak, not usually OTT.

Thats what I thought, but all year round seems to be crazy prices for next year

Surely they wont sell all the seats at these sort of prices?!

Not a chance early Dec, they will be cheaper than that but its how long you can wait. They might try higher to start with. All you can do is look when released.
