Help, can someone explain....

Been searching for a cheapest way to get to wdw next year.

Thought as dd will be 11 and ds will be 2 (until April) I would look at prices before he turns 3

Searched with virgin Atlantic 4/3/13

Price only was £492
AND
Price using miles plus money £495 plus 2000 miles

So it's cheaper not using miles does this ring right!!!

Really looking for a budget holiday

I was searching myself for Nov flights this morning, exactly the same it was a few £'s cheaper to not use miles.
Miles & Money for Nov were the same price for all dates available, regular fares varied from a few £ less to over £100 more. It happens sometimes if you are wanting to fly on a low priced date.

At £492 you are not going to get much cheaper for a direct flight, you might save a few £ waiting, you might not, same with indirect. Other option is waiting til last minute, last few weeks there have been flights from £203 (plus luggage) but no way of knowing if they will be there next year.

Have you looked at a package? sometimes if flight prices are low then packages are worth looking at.
Good luck.
