Virgin prices

[littleme]

Hey everyone,

Me and DH are looking to book our first trip for Sept 2013 - i noticed on the virgin website that prices have creeped up over the last 2 months.
The reason we havn't yet booked is because my work contract is due for renewal in October...and i'm a bit anxious about bokking it to be denied the leave.

Anyway - is the price going to keep creeping up - or does it generally go up and down again throughout the year?

thanks

do you mean Virgin Holidays or Virgin Atlantic?

I personally think there is something wrong with the Virgin Holidays site, as this year the prices are very high. Usually the prices are inline/cheaper that other quotes weve had. However this time they are nearly £2,000 more than other quotes. I mentioned it on twitter and they said they didnt think there was a problem and asked me to email my details but they havent replied back.
I cant see how much theyre charging for everything as they dont break down the prices anymore.

Their pricing generally goes up and down during the day/month/year-Im always pricing up quotes on there.
The new packages usually come out end April, beginning of May-I find thats a good time to book.

Yes - sorry - Virgin holidays.

Like you - we've been pricing it up on their occasionally as we've been saving up.

I will definitly check out some others as well. Hopefully their having issues and the prices comes down hehe!

yeah I hope so.
The holiday we want is over £9,000 with VH

With Disney.co.uk its £5,000 minus flights-cant imagine economy flights being £4,000.
Both with Free dining and tickets.

I would do rough pricing on Disney-although they wont be able to price holiday with flights yet.

I may email Virgin again-although Im trying quotes for next August, we're not going until 2014 (hopefully if price is right)

I bet its hard as your dates are out now, its a shame you cant be certain of getting time off work.
Fingers crossed the price goes low for you.x

We're going to wdw in June and I have to say no one can match Walt Disney traver company, they usually come out 2 grand cheaper your cutting out the middle man with them. I showed my quote from wdwtc to thomascook and they couldn't believe it let alone match it.
