How much for 0 adults and 3 children? I've got a few boxsets I'd like to catch up on.

Price per adult is still £189, so nothing has changed since last post:
http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/plenty-orlando-florida-flights-for-189-per-person-leaving-next-6-weeks-thomson-2432335
...and this is how correct price shoud be stated - not putting as many children possible to make the price lower

probably the worst case of "chasing heat" i've seen on this site :wink:

Who cares if this has been posted a few times - it's worth posting again.

Two adults, with extra legroom seats and 2 x 20kg bags return to Orlando for £568 is an absolute bargain surely? Virgin would be charging you at least £1,500 return for premium economy, probably nearer £2,000 depending on when you go. Ok, cut out the extra legroom seats and baggage and it's down to £378 for two people return! Virgin would still be expecting you to be paying £1,000 return between you.

Crazy prices and who cares if it's during term time - either take the kids out and take the 'hit' if they fine you, or dump your little luvvies on the grandparents (or anybody really) and go for a break as a couple!

Actually. Kids who go to private school can take as much time out as they want and they don't have to ask permission.

As for the fines.... Not all LA's fine, ours doesn't, we've had 6 days last year for a holiday and 3 days this year, authorised, as my kids attendance is good but they are about to choose options for their GCSE's so we won't do it anymore til they leave school. Aside from which, its cheaper to pay the fine than pay full price in the other holidays anyway.

The reason these deals are so cheap is because most schools will not give time off in May due to tests and exams so the planes are half empty. I am counting the days til my kids leave school so I can go to Florida every year for this kind of money!! Park tickets will cost more than flights!!

Can anyone link me up please?

Better not be that's why we're going at this time of the year. LOL joking.

Yeah you must be right, I bet there is no English children in Orlando this time of year

Flight time from East Midlands to Orlando is 9 hours, its on Thomsons website, if someone can tell me how to post a screenshot on here I will paste it

So pre-schoolers aren't children ?

What's the use of including children's prices? You can't take em unless you're willing to pay fines for taking em out of school.

Flew on it to Cancun last year and it was great when the plane flew through a storm at about 3am. You could see the turbulence bending the wings back and forth and the fuselage suffered very little disturbance. Of course they are gonna market it as having a new fleet of multi-million pound planes.

Flights for 2 adults flying from Glasgow on 21st June for 7 nights £769 each, but 7 nights at the Disney Caribbean Beach Resort is only £644 each which includes the flights, baggage and car hire - some crazy pricing going on when it is cheaper to book a 4 star Disney Resort hotel than the flight alone.

must be imagining it that i'm flying from east midlands in just over a months time (and have done three times before in the last few years)

is glasgow not classed as the UK anymore? (and yes, they *do* sell flight only from GLA)
also, they started doing flights on wednesdays from stanstead too...

The article you have linked argues against what you say in your comment you idiot.

Agree look on http://www.thedibb.co.uk. Its a great place to find out all the info you need. I booked a cheap car rental using a suggestion made on there, got a US sat nav £20 from ebay to avoid the $60 rental charge. No sunpass fees as easy drive around these. Used the car everyday and drove all around Orlando, space center etc Filled up with cheaper fuel on I- drive, tank still reading full at MCO. Paid for car hire in advance, got the sell at airport refused everything, no problem and nothing more to pay except fuel costs. I was traveling as woman on my own with kids.

Either way, neither of us know the truth so Id stay away from the area if pregnant

This is BS, pesticides made by Monsanto are causing 'small heads' :confused:

I'd avoid Dollar and use Alamo as the Dollar fleet is tired and old. In addition Alamo cap the SunPass charges at a lower rate per rental, allow you to enter details online here, go straight to the garage, pick your car, etc.

Google the 'Dibb' and vyou'll find a community who can answer all the Florida questions you may have.

I'm being negative, and I travel at least 3 times a year and have been to both MCO and SFB. Any more of your assumptions I can shatter for you?

Didn't think you'd have time to type, I assumed you spent all day adding heat to every deal that comes along, rather than being able to understand that manipulating a headline price to gather heat is a bit like posting a phantom Tesco deal, it benefits few, but annoys many. Like yourself...boom !

For anyone thinking about going, remember if any of your party is pregnant you shouldn't go, the Zika virus is still ongoing and the mosquitoes migrate up from South America this time of year...

This is why we haven't gone...am gutted :disappointed:

Car hire companies in States, Orlando in particular, prey on the inexperience of the tourist, more so the UK tourist with constant up sell at the hire desk. My first tip is to say no to everything. If you need a Sat Nav call into the nearest Walmart or Big K and buy one outright for 50 dollars. This coupled with an hours wait at the car hire desk is often a nightmare. Great tip go on Dollar Rent a Car's US site and sign up to the Dollar Express service. Was a good guide on US Rentacar as to how to fill in boxes in UK. Then when you book a car use a supplier who let's you pick Dollar and ask them to contact Dollar and either put it on your Express account, or email Dollar and ask them to add to your Express account yourself after booking. Then when you get to the airport, bypass the desk entirely and go straight to the garage where Dollar allow you to pick your own car in the class and drive straight off. No queuing, no up sell, saves you an hour at Orlando. Done it many times at different airports in US and it is fantastic.

We go on 4 foreign holidays a year, have done for years and never book seats. A couple of times we've had 1 parent on their own (me and the wife fighting for that seat) but never have kids been sat without a parent. Not saying cannot happen but unlikely. I have also travelled with grandparents on many occasions and again always been together. To me, booking seats at cost is a scam.

I know you're likely not to want to make a big deal of it (in true Brit fashion!) but in your position, I'd certainly be letting the rental company know of your dissatisfaction. At worst, you get nothing back but the staff get told to make sure customers are aware of this kind of thing, and at best, you get some money back.

Slightly off on a tangent, if anyone is taking advantage of these prices and going to the Sunshine State and hiring a car, there's a lot of toll roads in Florida and you can end up on them quite easily, unintentionally?!

But, as the lady at the car rental desk was very quick to point out, we weren't to worry about it as all their cars had the ability to drive through the "SunPass"/Pass lanes and your credit card would be billed automatically when your car hire ended.
No more grovelling for the right change or waiting to pay, you could just carry on down the highway to wherever it was you were heading in the first place.
Great! fantastic! Would make life so much easier!

Yes it did make life easier, but what she failed to point out at the time she was spouting the virtues of this system was the $4 a day service charge that accompanied it!!!
I know it's not going to break the bank, you're on holiday and there's so much to see and do you just want to get on with it.
But on two of the days I used this facility, the toll charge was 75 cents!!
$1.50 worth of toll charges cost me $8.40!! :confused:
We used toll roads 4 days the last time we were there, the most expensive day toll wise was $3.25!
Ok, it's supposedly capped at $20 service charge per rental period but I've already paid to be on these roads, don't see why I've got to pay again? :smirk:

Just thought I'd share :smiley:

nice find!

​get a life

​ha ha I like it, someone who actually knows about travel and Orlando! people being negative clearly don't travel! but sanford I think is one of the best airports! duty free, the bar/pub not over crowded a million times better than orlando international

​get a grip, it's a deal and a very good one, do you use this negativity with everything you come across in life

​been on both, many many times, I guess you haven't been on a dreamliner, the a380 is amazing but the dreamliner is better

​you have no idea, the separated the cells of the batteries, if one did catch fire it would not go any further than the one cell, but the likelihood of it happening is less than getting hit by a car while walking in the woods.

The back row seats don't recline. No seats should recline.

come on this is absolutely ridiculous how you've posted this . COLD

It's the seat width as opposed to seat pitch that makes economy so bad on the 787. Basically every airline has crammed 9 seats abreast (bar the odd one or two), so there will be no difference between ba and Thompson in that regard.

No one was sat behind us as we were the back row so wouldn't have caused any distress other passengers. Prefer sitting in the upstairs on the 747 it's quieter

Ah...wouldn't it be nice to take the kids to Disney...ohhh...not school holidays...that's a surprise. :disappointed::stuck_out_tongue:

You can't, unless you want to take 3 kids out of school and not take any luggage. A misleading headline price. Not the OPs first attempt at a desperate heat chase

Another misleading deal, you must be desperate for heat as it's a misleading deal. Using childrens pricing to decrease a price and use that as a headline is a poor show. I commented the same on your last 'deal'.

Or is the OP honestly suggesting 2 adults and 3 kids travel to Orlando for 2 weeks with hand luggage only.

Grrrrrrr

Insane prices to take you to the Fabulous Sunshine State of Florida

>>>>>
Just tried it with 8 and it worked fine.. however do not think they will let 8 two year old's travel
without an adult.. oh hang on Deeky or Chanci might be free to take on the task!!!

I flew dreamliner to Cancun a year ago. Seat didn't recline and the entertainment was completely broken so wouldn't rate them against Virgin who I've never had a problem with and fly out on Tuesday to MCO. I paid £375 per person but i did book last September.

I'll travel on a dreamliner after they've got rid of the bugs...this normally happens after a few crashes.

You are correct - although only if you book the full holiday with Thomson. Strangely they do not offer flights only, which was what I was going by.

​yea, one way please.

Transatlantic cruises back to Europe/UK are dirt cheap so these flight are goo for that if you just use the flight out.

I'm off to Florida a week on Friday, albeit with Virgin. Booked a week ago for £438 return. It's direct from Gatwick but returning indirect to Heathrow. I did check Thomson before booking but with luggage the saving was only £100.

Somebody mentioned above that when you factor in car hire, theme parks etc, it gets expensive but I disagree. 2-3* motels/hotels can be picked up for around £20 per night, there are plenty of cheap eats over there e.g. Steak n Shake and car hire starts at a little over £100 for a week (and Auto Europe are giving free windscreen and undercarriage cover at the moment too).

Florida has so much more to offer than theme parks. Even with a flight to Sanford, you don't have to stay in the area. An hour and bit to the west is Tampa and Clearwater. 3-4 hours south is Miami and even further south are the Keys.

Book a car and a flight and do the rest when you get there.

Quote from you "Thomson do not fly to Orlando from any other UK airports".
I must have imagined flying direct from Glasgow with THOMSON then.
You need to check your info...

Me and David Furnish just booked this, sorry Elton... where's the oil ?

I have twice. It's a good plane, but the Airbus A380 is the best plane in the world. It's not even close.

If you were to book 2 adults and 2 kids tickets without the Select a seat option, would all the seats be given next to each other?
Heard horror stories from other airlines who split passengers up (even if they are kids)

Actually the quickest is 9hrs 5mins from Manchester or Newcastle, 9hrs 10mins from Birmingham and 9hrs 15mins from Gatwick airport. Thomson do not fly to Orlando from any other UK airports.

So my 9hrs 15mins is essentially bang on, whereas your 7hrs+ is waaaaay out. Unless you have your own private Concorde, or expect to jump out 100 miles or so short of New York and plan to swim the rest of the way?

Jeez, some people......................................

As good as this is, you need to still factor in, park tickets eg Disney/Universal/Sea World , car hire, hotel/villa, spending money, shopping, eating out.
All of a sudden not quite the cheap holiday you may have thought.

How do people get time off work with such little notice?! Would be great to go but can't get two weeks off that soon... Sigh

How much for 1 adult and 72 children?

Please do share a post that u haven't taken off someone else and just updated a price!

Good flights!
Looking at theme park tickets is £453+ per person

​i agree, flew to Jamaica late November, paid the extra for extra legroom seats, really impressed, I fly at least 3 times a year.

The Thomson dreamliner is fabulous. I particularly love the light show and the seat pitch is decent.

For me the main advantage is the Dreamliner is the cabin pressure is closer to ground meaning feeling less fatigue after the journey. The A380 lower level is good but the upper is too curved which impacts head room on the window seats.

Actually no it's not.

It varies from UK airport to airport, which is why i said 7hrs +.
Jeez some people!

£189 if your on your tod

It's about 9hrs 15mins actually, but the upside of flying into Sanford is the quick clearance at immigration compared to Orlando International. The downside being you're about 45 minutes drive further away from Kissimmee, so when all is said and done horses for courses really. Given the choice, I'd go to Sanford though as I like to get out and on the road quickly, but we always fly Virgin and they go to OI, which is a pain IMHO.

Who cares if this has been posted a few times - it's worth posting again.

Two adults, with extra legroom seats and 2 x 20kg bags return to Orlando for £568 is an absolute bargain surely?

How much for 2 adults and 0 children? Can you book for April next year?

A lot of this dreamliner vs other aircraft stuff depends on the operator. BA have crammed in a ridiculous amount of seats into economy and the entertainment boxes restricted leg room in a lot of seats. Thomson seem to have done a better job with their configuration. The Emirates a380 experience is fantastic, as is the Japan airlines version of the same plane.

it should be price per person, not price for 2 adults and 3 kids divided by 5, it will be group hols divided by 12 and bulk buy crates of juice divided by can next..

flights where stupidly cheap this time last year as well.... why so cheap
yet book a year in advance and pay out the nose

probably the worst case of "chasing heat" i've seen on this site :wink:

Those that rave about the Dreamliner clearly haven't been on an A380. Different league

Premium:
Upgrade to Premium Club for a bigger luggage allowance and seats with a bigger recline and a 38-inch pitch. You’ll also get priority check in and boarding, security fast track and UK airport lounge access, plus luxury extras like a Rituals cosmetics kit, a bigger TV screen, and a complimentary drink before you fly. And if you’re on a night flight, we’ll supply a duvet and pillow, too.

However you do get drinks for free in economy now too, but i find that because premium only has 50 seats, if you don't want Rod & Todd kicking your seat and screaming & shouting for a 7 hour + flight, premiums money well spent!

Don't you remember the worldwide grounding of all Dreamliners for 3 months due to the High voltage lithium batterys catching fire ?. This issue was never solved all that has been done is they have used more fireproof material to surround them and the NTSB bowed to pressure from Boeing and the FAA to pass this ''fix'', there have not been any reports of battery fire for the last 18 months but people should be aware and can make their own choice to fly them.

premium seats £300 ?? rather risk the upgrade once on board for the extra £50 lol

​ha ha like it, how many kids do you need to take to get it for 125?

Price per adult is still £189, so nothing has changed since last post:

...and this is how correct price shoud be stated - not putting as many children possible to make the price lower

you can't pay £50 when you are on the flight to move to premium, you may be offered at check in but £50...... also they are so well priced and worth the money that there is unlikely to be any left at check in

1 adult and 3 children from £134.25 each

1 adult and 4 children from £130.60 each

Can't imagine that will help many(any?) but thought I'd mention it while I was here anyway :wink:

​someone who doesn't fly much and/or hasn't been on a dreamliner

Thompson are very keen to advertise the Dreamliner. Frankly, I'd pay extra to fly on something else. Still seems like a great deal though

Pigs might fly?

​it doesn't

As much as I love a deal this is way over posted!!!

about the 5th time posted!

Bargain!
