    The time is approaching and people need to get to Miami, the flights I was looking at increased £160 overnight so if people are booking flights, enquiring about flights, ESTA or can recommend some sites to get deals, put it in here.
    I'm still looking at Heathrow to Miami flights, then will worry about getting to & from London after.

    You really need to keep on eye on them, yesterday I could have bought my flights for £400. This sorta thing happens every year.

    I'm hoping to have to pay no more than £800 for my flights, you think that should be enough?


    When you booking your flights mate?

    Per person? Should be a lot less than £800. If mine get as low as £400 again I'll book straight away.
    Im going from Tuesday 27th March to Wednesday 4th April.
    Where are you flying from?

    Yeah £800 would be the highest I will pay, hopefully should get them around 500-600.

    Not sure yet when I am flying out, I would love to go out and visit Orlando before it but I am at Uni so will have to keep the trip as short as possible so will most likely make the trip Wednesday to Wednesday.

    Not sure yet where I will be flying from, most likely either Glasgow or London.

    Cool, Id love to do Orlando too, may end up going for SD if its there, but I now love starting my Mania week even earlier, catch the Art show & early Axxess sessions. Heathrow has some great direct flights to Miami. Lots of options.

    Yeah I reckon I will fly from London, SD doesnt bother me to much but I would like to go seeing as I am out there, problem would be getting from Miami to Orlando, then back to Miami for the flight home

    Theres always the bus option, its very doable anyway. Just depends on your budget for traveling. You'll probably need plenty of taxis in Miami too.

    Budget wise I am looking at taking about £1000 out there with me to spend, you reckon that would be enough ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,785 ✭✭✭Kane-N-Nite


    Yeah definitely. My biggest problem is mercy spending. The good thing about transport prices is there's always others going where you are & you can share taxis. Cuts costs nicely.

    For me, coming from Maryland in the States, early look has me dishing out roughly $300 USD to fly down from 3/30 to 4/3. May wind up going down earlier though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 109 ✭✭LiamBro


    I've seen flights from Manchester - Chicago - Miami then Miami - New York - Manchester for a week was £450, pretty reasonable. That was on expedia.

    you should be fine prices always go down around January and stay around 400-500


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 589 ✭✭✭killyourtv


    Every single year I wait until January to get my flights, and I always get them for around £400 - £450.

    Some people worry and rush in and pay too much.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,785 ✭✭✭Kane-N-Nite


    Half the fun is booking and looking at flights.
    It's exciting. :)

    you should get that route for about $150-170 return with southwest from baltimore to fort lauderdale when the times comes and fort lauderdale airport is closer to the stadium than miami international


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,820 ✭✭✭grames_bond


    I just need to get people to feckin decide to go but KNN if you see flights for that low again will ya yell at me?! £400 direct flights is ricockulously good value!

    I will but keep in mind that was just heathrow to Miami & back again. No Irish flights, but I'd figure they can be gotten without worry at a later stage.

    with this amount of time you'd pick up a really cheap aer lingus flight - or an even cheaper aer lingus flight and then get the tube to the good airport!! ;)

    where did you see these flights? expedia weren't giving me as good offers!

    2 days ago you would have. All sites jumped at least £160 over night. I'm just gonna keep searching. Expedia.co.uk worked out a good bit cheaper than expedia.ie

    Clear your cookies kids!, A flight i check regularly on the Aer Lingus site was listed recently at €91 I check it every few days to see if the price is changed until i have the money to book it,Then one day it went up to €183 and I remembered my brother told me he had heard on the radio that when people look at flights regularly they use that info to up the price for you so you panic and purchase thinking it's constantly increasing

    So I cleared my cookies for the Aer lingus website and low and behold when I checked price was back to €91,just a small piece of advice


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,785 ✭✭✭Kane-N-Nite


    Tried that already but to no avail. It changed on every electronic device I use to check prices so it was just an overnight hike.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,492 ✭✭✭EdK


    Sorry to hear,Just alerting people to some sneaky tactics,Isn't always the reason for price hikes unfortunately though
