Do you mean Virgin Holidays or Virgin Atlantic as they have different sale dates with different types of discounts.

Either. Flight only or flydrive.

VH is usally 10% over Christmas, although not sure if it includes flydrives, and VA usually has sales in the New Year which could be anything really depending on what tickets classes are left on the flight you want.

Would expect a VH sale anytime. We booked a few days ago for next Xmas. The following day the prices rose by about 3-4%. Not saying Virgin do this but many companies like Argos for Example increase prices just before a discount offer.

Always look at a package comapared to flight only/Flydrive.
eg. I have booked package next Xmas staying at Marriott Village, Fairfield Inn £599 each. Flydrive with no hotel and no car (flight only) was £671

Good advice. I've been looking at some of them already and found cheaper ones.
