BFS - MCO flights now bookable.

[Darren Wheeler]

The first BFS - MCO- BFS returns are now bookable on-line.

Prices for lowest economy, out June 25th and return July 2nd compare as follows

BFS - £1096.80
MAN - £1069.13
MCO - £1067.09

Disclaimer: YMMV.

I'm assuming that'll come down - the outbound BFS fare of £389 is an X, as you'd expect, but the return £707 is a B, the second highest bucket.

UC is currently an eye-watering £4200 but that's because the return is a full fare J.

I guess it's because we're right on T-336 for July 2nd 2015.

VS IT appears to have struck again though - a search for Gs produces an error message saying "this route is not valid for spend miles bookings".

I tried looking for a G to ATL last week and got the same message

New routes generally are locked out for miles as they have no revenue management data to base the availability on.

So Atlanta could be available on miles in 18 months when I am thinking of going?
Good to know the reason.

ATL is bookable on miles but you have to call VS.

When I spoke to FC last, booking exactly 11 months ahead (for the return journey), I was quoted a Y fare, as it sometimes takes another couple of days for the discounted economy buckets to be released. It might be the same situation here.

As BFS-MCO is highly seasonal, and coincides with the peak holiday period in NI, they will want to maximise cash revenue first, I'd expect.
