Travelcity Direct are the cheapest for me

[pigby]

Travelcity Direct are around £200 cheaper for me in July than it's nearest competitor (Continental via Newark), and of course it's a direct flight. Only booking flights as we'll have AP's and want to use them again. Unfortunately stuck with July again next year.

Had seen one or two negatives about this company a while back - didn't pay too much attention at the time as it wasn't relevant then.

Do I need to be concerned in booking my flights with them - any feedback, good or bad will be great.

I'm a big TCD fan, pigby, and rate their jumbo service as great vfm. If you are just gettg the flight at a cheap rate, you can't really go far wrong. I would recommend using the Guest House facility on your return flight from Sanford however. With up to 3 flights a day, TCD do generate some serious queues at their check-in, and the best way to beat them is to either check in very early (and keep your hire car for a few hours after checking in) or use the Guest House to wind down after the queues.

Thanks for replying - in fact I got the telephone number from your book! I haven't heard of 'Guest House' before - is this somewhere you can stay while waiting for your flight?

We won't be hiring a car (probably not anyway) as we stay on-site - is the cost of the taxi to WDW and back vastly different from the cost between MCO and WDW? - it is costing us $95 return for that trip this time (with FL Tours)

If you're flying in to MCO (as opposed to Sanford, which is TCD's main Orlando gateway), then the Guest House does not apply (it is a specialist lounge at Sanford Airport only - see this link:

It is $20 for adults, $15 for children.

If you are arriving via Orlando International (MCO), $95 is a very good price for your transfers. It would be at least $80-$90 by taxi, and FL Tours are much nicer!
