Trying to book EDI-MAN-MCO

a couple of years ago we booked EDI-MCO via MAN on one ticket via opoodo.co.uk no problem at all.

I just cannot get this to price up for flying next year on any website I have tried.

opodo this year will let me book EDI-LHR bus LGW-MCO but that's just stupid.

Can anyone offer any suggestions for this or any website that will let me book this routing?

I don't particularly want to go via LGW either via LHR or by using BA direct to LGW.

Must be on one PNR as well so I can get my luggage checked all the way through. If it was up to me I'd be booking on CO EDI-EWR-MCO but the wife prefers to fly VS.

I've just tried the Virgin Flight Connector tool, and the first few flights it lists for March 11 - March 18th are...

EDI-MAN-MCO and MCO-MAN-EDI for 489

Give that a go.

I would just give VS a call and book direct, surely the most simple option?

Thanks, but unfortunately the connector is no use to me for these reasons:

quote:# This tool is provided by Dohop to help you search for fares across all airlines
# Each flight is booked separately therefore please check each airline's change, cancellation and baggage policies carefully.
# We will not be liable if the passenger is late in arriving for a Virgin Atlantic flight due to delay from an inbound connecting airline.
# You will need to collect you bags and check in again for connecting flights on different airlines

So, no different from buying seperate tickets with all the risks associated.

If I need to I will but I prefer to use the internet if possible.

Your choice, but surely with all the time you have spent trying to find a way to book it on the net, you could have called and had it booked long ago.

Well, I did phone up the call centre who were very helpful and gave me some prices. The bmi schedule was a bit rubbish though so had a look on continental's website and could get the same dates for 600 less that the VS price with better flight times so have went with CO instead. Means I get BD Status miles too.
