OMG Julie/August 2011 flight prices are looking horrific!!!

If you can get to Dublin rather than Belfast prices are about £300pp cheaper.

Hmm that might be an option - who is that with Wayne?

The one via Manchester is a bargain at just over £500 with Virgin, thats direct to MCO, just a short flight from Dublin to get it. Can't believe they are over £300 cheaper than I can book and a free flight thrown in. Wish I could book it and ignore the Dub~MAN legs.

Our dates are not quite out yet. Booked OKW for 2nd Aug to 20th. Will check this out though. Thanks.

unlike budget airlines where closer to the flight date, the price go,s up.With usa flights there are times that it is cheaper.The main one for sales is xmas/new year,but as others have said you have to keep checking.Best thing to do is have a realistic price in mind and if it drops book it(no wayne you carn`t have a £1 flight) that way you will not miss out if it gos`s.
They days we have had £99 and £199 virgin flights have long gone, oh happy days
Then again were going next aug no matter what after not going this year my price range will be £600-£650 indirect

I have previously had good prices by waiting until January for Booking Summer/ Autumn flights...hope to do the same for 2011

Quick update

Took the plunge this evening and booked 4 PE Flights to New York and 4 returns in Economy. Managed to get two reward flights for 96,000 miles and £550 taxes but had to pay another £1500 for an adult and a child so just over 2 grand in all. Figure I should be able to get the internals for £600 so £2600 with a stop in NY ... Not too bad

Beats £3400 for 4 economy flights from Gatwick to MCO!!!!! (24th July - 13th August in case you're wondering)

Just done a dummy booking .......... actual price should have been £3579 ... how crazy is that!!!!!!!

Ought to also add that I've amended my seats and the whole of "the bubble" is now Upper class

Wish they flew from Manchester to more hubs, well done on getting it booked.
