Flights for Oct 2007

[Sallieanne]

Has anyone ever got around the 350 day rule when booking scheduled flights?
My problem is - we don't usually stay for the conventional 14 days but more like 16 or 17 so by the time our return date comes around the lowest fares are already gone. We usually book with BA as we get 10% discount as shareholders but don't mind any direct flights from London. Would appreciate any input

Hi there,

We too are waiting for Oct 07 flights to become available at the 331 day point, hopefully we will be able to find something that suits. Have you tried to go to Tampa from Gatwick with BA these are generally a little bit cheaper than Orlando and the drive is only an hour straight up the highway.

We have booked with Flyglobespan for next October ~ Since we are going for 20 days we have booked the outward flight, just waiting for the return flights to become available.

I had to change my original fly-drive booking with BA Holidays and they allowed me to go on a waiting list 15 months ahead of my departure date. They did say they could not guarantee the flights until they became officially available but once they were available BA Holidays contacted me and I was immediately booked for depature and return flights (22 nights).

Florence - why cant you book your return flight? - we booked our globespan flights for next October in May (or June at the latest) they went on sale a while ago, we go on the 13th and back on the 27th Oct.

Ok that's irritating, I so want to get prices for our flights but as we're doing multistop only a few places offer those trips and non will book past the middle of Sept yet.
