Don't know if this would help anyone but we had tried to book
via Virgin Travelstore (LGW - MCO) for our dates 29/01/05 - 19/02/05 and via the flight prices kept on increasing! - by the time we wanted to book the price had increased by £300+ and then they told me that you now have to pay in full when you book!! for the special offer fares they offer (unless you go for the more expensive option of the Virgin brochure) - as we are still paying this year's hols off - not an option - I then thought I would try for the first time British Airways - they have an offer on at the moment. We managed to book - outward Club (Business Class - cost an extra £300 per person) and inward their World Traveller Plus (Premium Economy) for £778AD & £568 child which was much the same as Virgin's PE prices now that they had gone up - always wanted to try Club Class & originally wanted to do this on the inward leg but the special offer prices were not available so thought I would do this on the outward flight and feel refreshed when we got there - never flown BA though - I always have flown Virgin - but thought I would give them a try..... A few disadvantages flying BA - ie no Downtown Disney Checkin - no separate WTP check in desk & no preferential treatment for the luggage But because of the special offer I thought I would try them.
