Flight prices Oct 2011

[higgy66]

Would any of you mind sharing how much you paid for flight only prices for this October incorporating the week before and half term

I just wanted some idea of whether DIY is really worth it


Many thanks

Flying Fri 14th back 29th october with US airways from manchester. Indirect but good flight times - one stop at philadelphia.

Flights were £1540 2 adults and 1 child. Booked 11 months out day flights were released. Sat 15th was the same price. Continental were also the same pricing.

Virgin atlantic wanted £1000 more so £2500 for direct on the day flights were released.

I actually booked with thomas cook online as they were the same price as booking direct with the airline and you saved another 10% if you booked flights and accomodation so just under £1400 with the discount.

We are going 1st to 15th october Edinburgh to dublin and then on to MCO. We were £540 each with Aerlingus. We only booked them in march so it would have been much less if we had booked on the day of release like a pp has already said, Still weirdly cheaper than last year.

Personally we have found DIY is cheaper for us. The only downside is having to pay for flights in full at the time of booking.

Like someone else here we are also flying 24th Oct to 7th Nov.

Our flights were £3800 for 7 of us - so £543 each. We booked on 8th December 2010.

Ours were around the £480 per person mark in late Oct but that was with airmiles with Virgin
