Anyone used them recently, I know there used to be no problem using them.
Just tried a dummy booking and lets me enter UK phone numbers, addresses etc, right thru to payment so all looks OK.
Difference is £678 direct with VA, Total £2712
Same flights with Expedia.com $3575 (£2,234)
£478 saving or £119.50pp

Thought there should be no problem, thanks

Just can't decide if its worth paying even at the lower price. Can do indirect at £1,900, £334 less than Virgin but indirect returns home at a better time 7:30am instead of 9:50am and we will get immigration done before landing at MCO outbound.

I can't get on to the .com site I'm stuck on the page that asks if I want .co.uk or .com

That came up for me, clicked on .com and had no problems from there. Maybe you need to clear your cookies and internet history, you could have something in there telling the site you are in the UK so its fighting against it.

Last few months I have been looking for a week in Europe(May) but it will cost almost as much as a week in Florida.
We also considered an Alaskan cruise (May) but as they go Sat-Sat it would mean taking Matt out of College for at least 1 day which we don't want to do.
For Florida we have a choice of Feb or May half term for 7 nights, Feb are slightly better prices and temps would be better for Karens Mum who will be going with us(if she will pay the insurance of £364 for the week)

Looking for a cheapy, wouldn't pay more than £500pp for a week but I have checked £3,619.30ppand thats only 6 nights(19th-25th) 26th not available
Would only pay £1100-1200 in August when economy is £700+ and going for over 3 weeks.
For other dates cheapest I could see were £1,503.30, was it Gatwick you saw £1329?

Dates are fixed unfortunately 19th-26th only few days Matt has off college.
£678 with VA but £558 with Expedia.com.

£475 indirect with USairways seems favourite at the moment, good flight times and get Virgin airmiles.

Need to ask you if one of us buys an annual pass will it cover all 4 of us for discount off food in disney? If decide on december and no free ddp this may be an option. How much do you get off? Sorry to hijack

Not Wayne obviously

However there are very few AP discounts on food but if buy the AP you then buy a TIW ( tables in wonderland) card which will give you 20% off food and drinks at most TS restaurants and lounges including alcohol! You can also get the discount at the food courts at the values and POFQ.

HTH!

She tried a few last night, sent her a few more to try today and now sent her heart foundation list. Doubt she will get much cheaper though with her diabetes, angina & age.
I know someone that was considering going a couple of years ago, they couldn't get cover inder £2,000, they didn't go.

Discounts are very limited for AP's, you have to buy the TiW card to get 20% off table service, not something I know much about, we prefer to eat offsite if no free DDP.

*deleted* I see my error I was looking at bringing you back on the 26th of March LOL sorry Wayne.
The indirect price is a nice saving!

For some silly reason Travelsupermarket sometimes automatically changes the dates to 19th-26th Mar from Feb, I was caught out again this morning with my 1st search of the day, prices are at least £100pp cheaper a month later (Virgin over £200pp cheaper at £448)

It's really annoying when that happens. I hate when I think I've found a bargain only to discover a techinical glitch. Ah ce la vie, I know you'll find the right flights for you in the end
