Finding cheap flights - help !!

[kevin harrison]

I have convinced my wife that we should take another holiday in Orlando in Sept 2005, what I need to know is this, how do you all find cheap flights ?

I read weekly about people here getting great deals, but I never ever find one. Do you use the web to book or try travel agents?

Being a Frequent Virgin we normally use them, but I am just hoping we can find either cheap flights or a cheap flydrive. Virgin's website always seem to charge quite a high price though, can you find cheaper Virgin deals through travel agents?

Who would you all recommend ?

Cheers

I booked my flights for my upcoming December trip through www.dialaflight.com

Have had bargains in the past with

www.expedia.co.uk

www.opodo.co.uk

As these tend to be schedule flights you will find the pricing quite volatile. one day they are cheap the next they are gone.

If like myself you are sad enough to check these every day and you set a realistic budget then patience is the key.

e.g I am travelling Bmi via chicago in April for £323.00 x 8.

Thomas cook online.

The only downside of these sites is you are required to pay in full on booking.

Enjoy!!!!!!!!

Try ebookers.co.uk or deckchair.co.uk. I have booked and flown BA through ebookers with no problems and have booked my tickets for Orlando through deckchair for our upcomping trip in Oct. The flights are Virgin and although they weren't dirt cheap they were still a lot cheaper than through Virgin directly. Have received the tickets already and everything looks okay.

Have you tried Bon Voyage


We've used them for our last couple of trips with no problem.

I had a major search through all the internet sites and the cheapest actually happened to be Thomas Cook, which suprised the hell out of me! They beat the price quoted by Expedia and other such sites.

Good luck though, best thing seems to be to search around.
