We have booked to go back to wdw August 2008 & my parents really want to come with us (there hooked after their 1st trip last year ;))
I have to go school hols as i work in a school, parents can go anytime but want to go with us again, but its sooo expensive for them!
Dad is thinking of booking flights direct with VA & accomadation seperate, he worked it out based on this years flight prices & it would save them some money, but he's nervous at having to wait till 11 months before to book flights.
They joined flying club on their 1st trip last year, dad recons he can get flights (this year) at £500 each.
Should they wait or book now?? We've never booked independent before!
Opinions please!!!:confused3
 
I would think that tehse days the majority on this site book seperately, its not a problem and becoming more of the norm.

Even though travel companies will "book" you more than 11 months in advance of the flight, the airlines do not book even the TC's before that date, too many possibilities of change etc, but 11 months is not a problem.
At 336 days (from your return flight) you can normally book direct and will get the best prices, there are exceptions to this rule, but generally with an empty plane, the airlines give the best deals (and with a virtually full plane near take off date,as well, but thats a different story)

what is his worry exactly? lack of places? long time untill the flight for things to go wrong?
 
If he is concerned about not getting the flight he wants if he waits, how about looking at Virgin Holidays flydrive prices :confused3 These can be booked earlier than the 11mths and he can get the flying club 10% discount :thumbsup2

Thanks for thr replies :)
I think his main concern is that if he waits would it end up costing him more than if he books now with VH!
