Will you be travelling via the Lost Island?

Assuming you mean 2010, flights are usually released a year in advance at most.

Virgin and Thomas Cook are comparable, Thomas Cook is often the cheapest of the two but it depends which deals they have on. The cheapest way is almost always booking it yourself separately (flights, hotel, car, park tickets etc.).

Welcome to Dis.

Virgin holidays are on sale now to give you an idea of price. I have just priced up a 2 week trip, flying Easter Sat to Fairfield Inn and Suites LBV. 2 ad + 1 ch a whopping £3468.40

Do you have any Virgin Airmiles? look out for Miles and Money fares if you have. If they do offer some then expect to pay about half the above price for same holiday.
Or indirect flights and booking hotel seperate would be about half Virgin holidays costs.

Flights are released about 11 months from your return date, so mid May start looking.

Thats nearly 31/5 grand OOCH!! thats almost £1000 more than Christmas for 2adults and 2 teens- The prices must have gone up a lot - I thought that might happen due to the exchange rates- Next Xmas may have to be our last!!

I have no idea how Virgin are selling packages at prices they are asking now.

See this post http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=30419541&postcount=34
To compare Virgin package in my 1st post to going indirect
Easter £345 x 3, Fairfield inn should be about £40/night, total £1,595. A £1,873 saving over Virgin for sake of a short stop each way.
