Virgin flydrive already sold out for Oct 2006

[Scottish-Helen]

October half term and Easter are a travel agents worst nightmare as it is so hard to get seats for our customers and we normally have a list of people waiting. Virgin Hols are normally the first ones to go on sale as well as the charter companies such as First Choice, Thomson etc when the general release of BA and Virgin scheduled flights go on sale 11 months prior I normally have to go into work early to try and get the seats but there are so many people trying for them that it's not always easy. If you can be as flexible as you can with your dates it always makes things a bit easier.

I worked out that the fly drive prices were three times more expensive when I wanted to go than two weeks before. My DD will be 12 and is classed as an adult for our flight.

In the end I just wanted to get a flight and stopped caring about the cost or I would lose the flight I wanted.

Now schools are starting to fine parents who take their children out of school I can only imagine the situation getting worse in the next few years. Not only will cost be an issue but we will all be trying to get the same flights!!!!

The 15 year old willbe classed as an adult by all airlines.

Have you thought about booking 2 x Fly-drive and one superApex ticket direct with the airline for the same flights. Why book a fly-drive for someone who can't drive?
