Virgin v TCD - sell one to me!

[disckobox]

Why do we always fly TCD over Virgin? One reason, cost! I just priced up two identical holidays based on our own trip this year (I've had to use dates 1 day ahead of our own as our TCD flight is now fully booked.) Hopefully this is the most objective viewpoint you can possibly get to compare the two as there's no opinions or hearsay involved! Here's a costing for you:

Based on: 3 adults flying Sept 22nd for 14 nights - flydrive
Included: Flights, Car hire (2dr compact), fully inclusive car insurance, all taxes & booking fees etc.

Cost with TCD: £945 (£315 p.p)
Cost with Virgin: £1914.30 (£638.10 p.p)

Sorry but no matter how much we'd love extra security you may get from Virgin's extra planes etc, there's no way we can justify that kind of price increase when we struggle to afford to go with TCD!

haha - strange... I just booked that same holiday last week!

Been with TCD before with no problems. Like most cost was the deciding factor. Airtours was coming out £400 more even after they discounted, virgin about the same.

Have flown virgin and airtours before and can recommend them for both flights and service, I prefered their flights purely on entertainment level.

To be honest though all I'm bothered about is using the agents as the cheapest means to get there. I can find out more than most agency staff know on here and doubt whether I'd use them for anything when I got there.
