Default Booking Flights

Hi Guys

We have just accepted offer on house and are in the middle of booking flights. IF all goes to plan we will be having 3 wks in orlando on our way out to NZ.

What I really want to know if anybody has booked flights through a company called global village http://www.roundtheworldflights.com/other.asp

as they gave me good price for all 4 of us

3wks orlando
then to LA
and if we want to we can have further stop at Fiji or Hawaii
then to our final stop auckland.

these flights can be changed in terms of dates
this all seems to be too good to be true. :icon_lol:

can't wait now hoping to in NZ by End Of June' 06

Wow sounds like a cool itinery. Can't help on the company but thought I'd ask another question, how much did all this cost if I may be so bold, don't answer if it's uncomforatble but noone will wade in with 'you could have got this deal if you'd have gone here etc etc.'

Brave move booking flights so early, I'm gonna wait til we've exchanged before doing that. June is a nice cheap time of year as it's off peak so that should be great.

For that reason I'd hold the trip to Fiji for a summer vaction once your settled, if you go to a tropical paradise, the weathers kind of key imho.

Just thoughts

Hi steve

For us it was a great deal cos we had our holiday booked for Orlando villa, 9mths before we decided to apply so were going there anyway. We are just very lucky that poss house is sold before and chance to group it together.

No I don't mind you asking, it costing us ?2520 including our taxes the additional flight to Hawaii or Fiji is a free flight just have to pay the taxes @ ?40 each but we would have to do this before we land in Auckland (I Think will ask again thou) as this was my nominated end destination, But we could if we wanted land in Auckland and not bother with other stop and choose to have internal flight to Welly or Christchurch. But what I Liked was that this ticket was so versatile and we could changed our dates if need be and it was open for a year.

getting excited now!!!!!!!!!!
