Fly be and virgin

[wmoon]

Hi

We are hoping to book with wdtc. One of the flight options was flying to Manchester with fly be then virgin to Orlando.
Has anyone done this? I assume it would be a through ticket. Would we get virgin baggage allowance and would our luggage go straight through?

Thanks for any advice.

Where are you flying from with Flybe? We used to live on the Isle of Man, and they were one of our only options for getting back to England and they were known as Fly May Be!

Are you sure it's not a fly be rate operated by virgin?

Just a thought but it may be cheaper to book the flights separately. Depends on your dates

If the flights are booked separately though then the luggage allowance would be different and you wouldn't be on a through ticket which isn't good incase of delays etc

Yes and this is a real pain. Never even thought about the delays but having to pay for extra luggage is capable of negating the money saved booking separately

AFAIK Flybe is a one of VA's preferred partners so if they are letting you book it as one reservation then it will be a round trip. I am not sure what happens with the luggage though.

Thanks. Think we might just stick with BA.
