Shortly to be put up on the VS site, another Economy and Premium sale to the USA!
Most routes with departures up until mid-June.
Orlando then has a second wind with deparures in November and beginning of December.

Fares seem to be about £10 more than before!

is that before or after the extra £40+in Y expected to go on all fares from today due to Lybia (as heard on BBC News at 1700 - when they wheeled out Simon Calder again) ?

I had to listen to him at a talk about tourism to South Korea. He started prattling on about North Korea with absolutely no attention to the looks coming from the head of South Korean Tourism and other diplomats there.

If you look at the other page here they include sales fares for all the other destinations in Y.

SFO/LAX/LAS appear to have no problems filling the PE seats hence they are not in the sale.

hmmm. MCO in early November, will it be warm enough, queue free and far enough away from those pesky storms to make the seats in PE at £900 look tempting..

You couldn't have put it better! Plus some early Christmas shopping would save you money in the long run, especially if the $ rate stays like this!!

We have done MCO early Nov for the last 2 years. This year it was chilly for 3 or 4 days and bloody freezing one day, but otherwise very nice. 2009 it was boiling the whole time we were there although we only stayed until the 8th.

As an actual time of year to visit, it is very quiet and would recommend it without hesitation.

Can't believe £900 is a sale fare though, my parents paid less than that without a sale for same time last year v(

Which has also made me do some more digging around...

Aer Lingus Longhaul anyone?
In Business,
Direct to MCO from Dublin?
1300 Euro's
Thats circa £1k against £900 in VS PE :?

Anyone done this product recently? apparently on new A330's

I am begining to think that the days of cheap fares (sale or otherwise) are on the way out.

Fair point; I never look at Y pricing though B)
Edit, all PE prices are up now too, they weren't when I posted though.

Last year was a really wierd one because we were in Naples FL and it was cold mid october, so whilst enjoying my time on the coast it should have been warmer for that time, bearing in mind that they had freezing conditions in january too.

London Los Angeles
£308 01 Apr - 07 Apr 11

Am I missing something??


I noticed this last night for both LAX and SFO, but it's not available to either destination. It must be a typo as £307 is the taxes and fuel supplement. Shame it would have been a bargain!!!
