[Samaya]

For any DVC’ers thinking of a March 2016 trip to either Aulani or the Grand Californian Hotel then there seems to be some reasonable priced mid-week Manchester flights at the moment.

Netflights - Manchester to LAX via LHR with BA from £379 flying out Wed 23rd March returning Wed 6th April 2016.
A studio is available from the 26th and a 1-bed from 17th March at the Grand Californian Hotel.

Netflights - Manchester to Honolulu via LHR & LAX with BA from £555 flying out Wed 23rd March returning Wed 6th April 2016.
An Aulani ocean studio and 1-bed is available throughout March & April, while some of the other room types are partially booked over that time.

AMAZINGLY, flying out of LHR on the same BA flights (so without the MAN-LHR flight) can be up to £100 more expensive.

Not sure if this is reasonable but from London to Los Angeles on those same dates there's an option of a mixed class from £724 with Ebookers or from £734 with Virgin.
