There was a sale on that ended in the middle of last week.

There will probably be one at Easter.

And when BA have one VS will sure to follow.

But in reality no one other than VS knows.

And if they don't need to sell seats off cheap because people are paying the normal price they won't have sale at all.

I'm sure there was a sale around Easter last year, but it fell later in April. Fingers crossed!

If the dates you want are busy and to a popular destination and selling at the existing price then there would be no logic for VS to have that route / dates.

VS seems to have quite silent sales at the moment. For instance ex-Dublin to Vegas upper was 1200 quid for a lot of recent months. Also matched some of BA's last Club sale in Upper, but you have to look at the routes that BA's selling cheaper. Virgin doesn't think its good to tell us anymore...

Yep, August to Orlando. Go on the same date every year and normally book in July. But this year some flights are already sold out!

Sorry to burst your bubble but you're asking for a sale during the most popular travel period of the year, to one of VS"s most popular destinations.

I'd say that chance of that happening now = zero.

Expect you're right. Should have booked a few weeks ago, was 500 quid less!
