Florida flight prices have floored me!

[Abouttimemum]

Just priced up Florida for next year, cheapest flights are £3,500 or thereabouts for 4 adults and one child.

Care hire is £1500.

Complete with villa and tickets it’s going to be about £11k.

pre covid we probably paid about £7-8k and £500 quid ish and less each for flights.

I mean I feel like you only live once but I’ll be stopping in for a year to save ha!

This was for May by the way, so not even in the school hols!

You need to be more flexible in your dates.

Look at different routes as well.

On sky scanner I can find flights for 4 adults for £1600 in April and £2000 in May.

We booked a fly drive in the British airways sale in January. It was a bit cheaper than that.

11k on a holiday????

Jeeez

You could have a lovely holiday for less than quarter that

You've been before?

You only live twice 🍸 😀

Flights a year in advance are always super expensive! You need to book 3-6 months in advance.

We've booked indirect via Germany at Easter next year and it was £4,600 for two adults and two kids. With spending, Airbnb (shared with family), Disney passes and car hire it's coming in about £13.5k I was expecting £10k

You only live twice 🍸** 😀

I'd just be inclined to go somewhere different, rather than pay an astronomical amount to basically do the same again. Maybe that's just me 🤷🏼‍♀️

@hellcatspanglelalala haha yes indeed but we didn’t have a kid then! Or his over enthusiastic grandparents.

@tocas yep, just had a lovely week in Majorca for pennies compared to this!

@MajorCarolDanvers i can’t see those prices from our airports. Cheapest is just under 3k for a 25 hour journey with two stops.

Good tip thank you!

I feel your pain!

Wait until you get there ££££

We went this year and told the kids we're not going ever again.

We used to go every year, with the prices for this year we are going in August and will leave it for a few years before we return.

Car hire -£1500?

Shocking

11k is actually cheap for a Florida (Disney World) holiday. That is if you stay off site, on site would double the price (even though on site is absolute crap with their tiny rooms)..

Absolutely NOT always true, we’ve been almost every year for 10 years and check daily prices..

oh...such a lot of money...go some other place....isnt this the resort where snow white etc were offering extras to make extra cash...!!!

We’re flying indirect with JetBlue this summer - was much cheaper than anyone else so might be worth checking them out
Car hire - we got a good deal by not picking up at the airport (we’re getting an Uber to the hotel)
tickets we waited and got a good Black Friday deal
Theres a great thread on the DIBB that’s tracking flight prices for next year and also car hire too.

Flights have been like that for years. I went to Florida in 2017 and LA in 2018 and when shopping for flights always budgeted £1k per person.

That was going in August and direct mind. I won't fly indirect and had no choice but to go in school holidays.

Yes, flight prices for next year are bonkers
