Worried about delays, what should I do?

[Claire L]

Also what are you doing regarding the marriage licence? Are you getting it in person from the courthouse or are you getting it on the internet? If your pushed for time i really would consider paying the extra costs and getting it fedex'd accross before you leave. I did and i was glad to have 1 extra thing not to do when i got there!

Looking at this website although the form can be downloaded you both still need to attend one of the addresses to collect the license?

Thanks for that. To tell you the truth, I never even concerned myself with the possibility of being delayed. I have never flown MyTravel before, I have always flown BA, Virgin, Continental, Quantus and have never been delayed.
MyTravel only fly every Thur from Glasgow. I have just sent an email to my coordinator asking what would happen if I were to be delayed (say overnight) I will see what she comes back with.

Caitlin they also fly out from Glasgow on Saturdays. we flew out with them on a Thursdays previous 2 years but this year we are flying out on the 11.00 flight on the saturday.

can I ask if it was a big issue booking 21 nights with them. we want to do 21 nights next year and would really like to stick with MY Travel if possible but 14 nights seems to be whats in the brochure

In response to the licence issue. You do not have to be in Florida for a certain amount of days nor do you have to be present at the courthouse. This is something I definately checked before deciding to marry in Florida. You can get you licence by mail, which will be valid for 60 days. This is what we are intending to do as we are not hiring a car so getting to the courthouse would just be an inconvenience.

Ali - Booking 21 nights was no problem at all. I originally went in knowing I was booking 21 nights so there was no deviation at all from my plan. I wasn't offered any other airline, she just searched for the cheapest way for us to go. Booking 21 nights with MyTravel was easy.

I still have not heard back from my TA, so am now looking in to moving my wedding date forward 3 days from Friday 17th to Monday 20th. I have contacted all of my outside vendors and asked of their availability. It is more complicated to do it this way, but alot cheaper, in fact it may not cost anything at all. I have my reservation at V & A scheduled for Aug 17th at 18.30, do you think I should book it for Mon 20th at 18.30 too on the off chance that I can switch my wedding date? I could always cancel one or the other depending on what the outcome is? I am really concerned I will lose this booking as it is my Wedding day meal and I know V & A books up really quickly, so it is important I keep this booking.

So far I have only had one vendor come back and say she is available. I am still waiting on my photographer, videographer, reverand, beautician and wedding coordinator. Keep your fingers crossed that they are all available.

I hope things get sorted for you soon and doesn't cost you a penny more, fingers crossed.

Good luck. I've travelled Airtours the last 2 times I've been to florida. It wasn't an issue the first time but the second time we had an hour delay and I was sat on the plane with my 15 month old. If you can switch your date then it's probably for the best.

Good Luck with switching everything!!

I would make another ressie at V&A's just incase! As you said you can cancel one or the other anyway!! Better to ahve it booked just incase!

that good to know thanks Caitlin. we like MY Travel and want to try 21 days next year.

I would def. book V & A now rather than be disappointed. as you say you can always cancel one. it would probably give you more time to relax and chill a bit if you did manage to re-arrange your plans. we have been delayed with MY Travel but the delay wasn't bad enough that i.e. if it had been you for your wedding you would have been okay . if you can change then change to give yourself peace of mind as I think you will worry now.
