Virgin Atlantic Prices likely to go back down?

[Rienchen]

We were looking at taking advantage of the 'free dining' next May, leaving May 3rd and coming back May 12th.
I don't like flying indirect and we will have to fly out either a Thursday or Friday and return a week later on the Saturday.[don't want to use up too much annual leave and my mum is flying over from Germany]

Virging Atlantic prices for flights LGW-MCO were coming up at ~£540 each and because we're still in the 'deciding' process I couldn't snap the flights up for that price, on October 1st they went up to £650.

I don't really want to fly out in June as the U.S. summer holidays start then, also I think that's when they do Star Wars weekend.

So my question, are the flights likely to go back down to £540 or just going to increase in price?

For this May they didn't come down until about 8 weeks before. They were excluded from the Christmas sale.

They might depending on booking levels but it will be a wait and see game.

My nerves couldn't handle waiting until next year to book the flights. If we went next May, Hotel and tickets will need to be booked in November(to get free dining) and I was hoping to book the flight at the same time. That way it's all paid for this year(I pay credit cards off straight away)

I couldn't handle waiting, I'm already an obsessive flight checker..

I'm worried about this too, we booked our package yesterday for free dining as didn't want to lose the chance to stay at SSR with the DDP, we have booked with no flights for September 23rd next yr really hope we get some decent price flights!! I know most people do it the otherway around so hope it worksbout for us I'm looking to get flights around January we need 6 seats ( ARGH)
