flight booking time

[CAL2]

Hi we are almost at our 11 month mark to book our flights. Do you think this is the best time price wise or should we wait ?. We would like to fly with virgin, premium economy there and economy for the return flight, both upstairs in the bubble.

I'd wait a couple of weeks after the flights go live if possible. Usually when they're first released they're at their most expensive. There's no set time as to when the cheapest prices will be released however - book a price you're happy with and don't keep checking!! Easier said than done!

thanks saintrob

Agree with the above, in the past we have booked in July for Feb, but this time it was earlier as the price was lower than for several years plus it was allowing us to put miles towards it which was a first. If you want bubble seats you will need to pay to book those as soon as you book the flight as they go quite quickly. I haven't checked prices since I booked, but I have looked at the seats and the bubble has been booked for some time.

I booked on the release date for mine - I think it depends on if you want to gamble. I had a set price I wanted to pay (max £600) and when they were released in November they were £580 so I went in. They're now £660 so no regrets there!
