weve only ever used virgin for our 7 trips,never had a problem.staff are awesome,
im a nervous flier,told them and they explained a few calming techniques and they even got the captain to come down and talk to me during flight,
as for the v room,its quiet,foods ok,its a good escape from the hecticness of the shops etc.
we highly recomend virgin and v-room

I'am also not a great flyer ( 39 years of flying and over 100 flights ) but my hostess calms me down by serving me wee cognacs on the rocks..As far as escaping the hecticness of the shops..this is good training for what lies ahead in the parks..LOL.

Hi, I would strongly recommend booking your flights direct with Virgin atlantic and booking your resort directly through wdw travel this will save you $$$$. We have always had great flights with VA so really recommend them however a cheaper option if flying next year might be Thomas Cook they are flying directly into MCO. ✈

I think you've been eating too many magic bridies....Why would you strongly recommend booking flights with Virgin.???..They are the dearest, by far, to fly with..The economy seats are only 31" compared to Thomson Fly or Thomas Cook (33") Unless you are a major shareholder or related somehow to oor dear Richard..I've yet to see a decent price that doesn't make my eyes pop.....

Nervous flyer too but the end goal of Disney keeps me calm and my experience of Virgin staff is excellent - when we last went with Virgin some 5 years ago the in flight entertainment wasn't working - hoping there is improvement there - I am only 5 foot 8 so leg room not an issue - just want bliss for holiday x

Lol.... I meant book the flights separate to the resort and not a package through VH. But that being said I have always had flights for 2a 2c last week sept for between £1900-£2300 which I think is okay. My friends just booked with Thomas cook and they are £2100 for the same time next year so not much in it.

I have been looking at flights only with Virgin......Are you saying 2 seats from Glasgow to MCO in September are approx £1900-2300 ?...Is that one way.?...We req 3 seats...My 16 yr old is still classed as a child price with Thomson and Thomas Cook, but Adult price with Virgin..I believe 3 seats for October this year with Virgin was £3700.. From Glasgow..return..

I find that unbelievable...I'am not saying your not telling the truth,but if you have managed to get flights for 4 people from Manchester to MCO return with Virgin, I want you to tell me what magic wand did you use.??....Unless two of you are sitting on each other's laps.....That's less than £600 per person return.....I need a large dram and a snort of pixie dust.....

TBH we are comparing full holiday prices and hope to use Virgins price promise (to match price on an identical holiday) next time

Ours for next year is less than 600 pp return. Total cost for 2 bed apartment at Old Key West, 2 weeks park tickets, flights for 6 people - £11k. That's for 18 nights. We book Virgin separately and hotel/tix through WDW website.

Virgin atlantic flights are cheaper than virgin holiday flights. They couldn't price match my package. My local travel agent did And takes us to Gatwick for free

Hold that phone.....So your saying booking with Virgin Atlantic flights only, works out at £600 per person, return...I seriously need to make an appointment with my analysis, then arrange a meet & greet with Sir Richard Branson..

Perchance Virgin Isn't as bad as you have previously thought ?
And as an aside , Has anyone used DTD check-in and DME and how does that work ?

VA's website doesn't let me book that far in advance
And does that Thomas cook price include hand luggage and meals
