Xmas Flights to Florida 2013/2014

noreply@blogger.com (TailorMadeFlorida) — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 22:13:00 +0000

Certain dates can’t be cheated. If you want to fly at a good price you have to plan ahead. Christmas and New Year flights to Florida/Orlando definitely fall into this category!

Looking at the 2013 calendar we know that a lot of you will want to fly Saturday 14th December or Sunday 15th December for a fortnight or 3 weeks. We think that others will want Saturday 21st December for a fortnight which means that you’ll leave Florida Saturday 4th January 2014 and arrive back into the UK early morning Sunday 5th January 2014 just in time for work or school on the Monday.

It can cost a fortune (as you will know if you have a quick look at what’s left this year and we’re only in April). But you can forward plan very easily…………simply give us a call to pre-register your interest. All we need are the names of the passengers. We’ll do the rest. We’ll sit up late in the evening and the minute the airlines release the outbound flights we’ll snap them up on your behalf. A couple of weeks later we’ll do the same on the return. A miracle! The most expensive days of the year at half the price you were expecting.

Use these seats for whatever you want……….if you have your own accommodation take them on a fly-drive basis. Or build a package with a Kissimmee villa (we have hundreds to choose from), a Disney Hotel, an Orlando apartment.....we deal with all possibilities.

Your peak date Christmas flights to Florida at bargain prices (and bookable with a small deposit). Simply give us a call or email along your enquiry. We’ll do the rest!

Christmas Flights to Florida 2012/2013

noreply@blogger.com (TailorMadeFlorida) — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 22:01:00 +0000

Xmas holidays in the Florida sun – spend it with Mickey, Donald and Harry Potter. Beats Britain’s grey skies, The Queen’s speech and the annual rerun of the Great Escape! We know that with work and school commitments you can only leave around 19^th December so that you’re back early in January.

Florida flight prices can be expensive on these peak Xmas dates but have no fear! We’ve put some seats aside with US Airways (to Orlando from Gatwick and Manchester with one change in Charlotte en route) and Virgin (direct to Orlando from both London and Manchester).

Using these seats we can build any sort of Christmas Florida holiday you need………….a Xmas fly-drive, a Disney hotel deal, a villa package or (our favourite) a fabulous two centre Orlando and Fort Myers.

Even better your Florida Xmas holiday is bookable with a small deposit…………balances not due until September.

What more can we do? Peak departures from London and Manchester 19^th December 2012 and returning 2^nd January 2013…………direct with Virgin Atlantic or (more economically) with US Airways.

Build any package…..Orlando villa, apartment or hotel, Gulf Coast or Disney. Book with a small deposit.

Too good to miss so call us up on 01635 885 177 or email us your enquiry!

Easter 2013 Virgin Flights to Florida

noreply@blogger.com (TailorMadeFlorida) — Fri, 30 Mar 2012 13:22:00 +0000

Easter is the most popular time of year for a Florida holiday – it’s cheaper than the summer and the weather is perfect. The long Easter school holiday gives families the chance to spend at least a fortnight in Orlando and lots of people add a third week on the Gulf Coast and sun themselves on the world class beaches of Fort Myers, Sanibel, Anna Maria Island or Naples.

Our clients ask us for great value and even on the most sought after departure dates of March 23^rd to 31^st 2013 you can buy a top quality package of Virgin flights, car hire and accommodation at a minimum cost with a little forward planning.

Here’s how…………..

Say you want to fly Manchester or Gatwick to Orlando on Virgin departing Thursday 28^th March 2013. The outbound flights will be released around 28^th April 2012 (330 days before departure) and, as long as you’ve given us the names of your party, we’ll snap them up for you the minute they fall into the system. We repeat this process a fortnight later for your return flights. Bingo! The busiest days of the year at excellent rates.

We’ll also give you your choice of the best villas in Orlando or on the Gulf. From 15^th March to 20^th April every villa in Florida is full every year. You do need to book early if you want something decent and at a reasonable price.

Lastly, for the bigger families, we’ll reserve your 8 or 12 seat minivan…………..even the bigger vehicles sell out in the first 2 weeks of April .

We can price these Easter ‘preadvance’ bookings for you very accurately and you can secure them for an initial deposit of £50 per person. If, in the middle of May, when the flights are confirmed we’ve gone too low on the price then you can have a full refund of the deposit but this happens very rarely. We spend our lives looking at airline availability so we’re pretty good at getting it right!

We know that many of you have tried several times to book your Easter Florida holiday but have been put off by high prices. Work with us and you’ll be amazed at the results………….call us on 01635 885 177 for a live quote or fill in an enquiry form on our website

Cruise and Stay Florida

noreply@blogger.com (TailorMadeFlorida) — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 20:57:00 +0000

We love our Florida and Caribbean holidays but we love cruising too! Combine cruise and stay and you have the perfect holiday.

We are specialists in devising itineraries that enable you to cruise one week and stay in a stunning location the next week. You can even arrange it all the other way around by cruising during your second week. Any itinerary...no problem, we simply love arrangung cruise and stay holidays, ask our clients.

Here are 5 reasons to book your cruise and stay 2012 or 2013 holiday with Charter Travel.

1. Cost
Everybody wants the best price and we strive to give you the best possible cruise and stay holiday deal. We are independent and we can source your flights, accommodation, vehicle and cruise separately to build you an unbeatable cruise and stay vacation. We are happy to beat any price that you can source on the internet or put together yourself on a like-for-like basis. Don't think that we will compromise on quality - our airline partners Virgin Atlantic and our cruise partners including Royal Caribbean and Carnival help us with great offers even on peak Easter, Summer, and Christmas dates.

2. Keep it simple
Cruise and stay holidays are complicated! Flights in and out of different airports, transfers, car hire, hotels, the cruise itself.......it's a long list. Ever looked over an airline or hotel website and wondered what you are in for? Considered the price of booking the wrong names or dates? Or needed to make an amendment afterwards? Dealing with an old fashioned travel agent might be a lot easier! Give us your instructions on the phone and sit back while we do the work and deal with all the problems. Our agents know cruise and stay holidays inside and out.

3. You just can't know what we know!
Book the flight early or late? Will the ship be full or empty? Hold off on the villa - it'll be cheaper in the sale? You just can't keep up with this complicated market. Sad to say but we spend our lives studying flight schedules and cruise itineraries and we know just when to book and just when to wait. Please don't think the pricing will vary only slightly - a one day date change can make a four figure difference to your package cost. Take advantage of our 23 years in Florida and Caribbean cruise and stay....give us a call and pick our brains!

4. Peace of mind
You can't turn on the news without hearing a travel horror story. You need to know your money's safe. Charter Travel has successfully traded for 23 years and we are ABTA and ATOL bonded for your complete protection.

5. Book up to 18 months in advance with a small deposit
We know that you need to plan ahead and we will make your booking with a small deposit. Generally speaking balances will not be due until 90 days before departure.

We've said enough! Put us to the test with a phone call or email us your enquiry.

Why should I book a Virgin Atlantic fly-drive with Charter Travel?

noreply@blogger.com (TailorMadeFlorida) — Sun, 20 Nov 2011 17:41:00 +0000

Many people prefer to self-book their fly-drive to Florida on the internet these days so here’s a few reasons why it makes sense to use Charter Travel’s services

1. Price

It’s all about the price and don’t think we don’t know it! We book thousands of seats with Virgin every year and have done for a long time now. Virgin make all their fares available to us including special fares that do not appear on their own web site. We’re more than happy to beat any price that you can put together yourselves on a like for like basis so call Alex on 01635 885 170. You will find him very negotiable!

2. Simplicity

Ever look at a web site and wonder what you’re letting yourself in for? Looked at the forms to fill in and considered what happens if you make a mistake? Thought about the penalties if you put a name in wrong or book the wrong date? The old fashioned way might be the easy way! A quick phone call and it’s our responsibility to guide you through the process and produce all the paperwork. You’re reading about us on-line but we’re an old fashioned travel agent. Give us your instructions and we’ll get on with it while you put your feet up!

3. You can’t know what we know!

When to book? Early or late? Will the fares go up or down? Are the planes empty or full? We spend our lives looking at Florida flight schedules and we know the right moment to book any date in the year. In this respect our advice is invaluable. A one day date change could save a family of four £1000 or more and the seasons change slightly every year. We know about these changes 18 months in advance so give us a call and pick our brains!

4. Ah but there’s a catch on the car hire – I’ve heard the horror stories!

Not with us there isn’t! Our car hire contract is very simple – you’re fully insured for 2 adult drivers and there are no insurances or CDWs to pay on pick-up. You hand in your voucher and off you go! We know that some other tour operators sell you ‘basic’ car hire at time of booking and stick you with a bill for insurance at Orlando. We simply never do this.

5. You can book with a small deposit

Book the flights and the car hire separately and you’ll nearly always have to pay both items in full. You might not be traveling for a year so you’re making someone a nice interest free loan. Save your money! You can book your Virgin fly-drive through Charter Travel with a deposit as low as £50 each.

6. We are bonded and your money is safe

Charter Travel have been established for 23 years and we are ABTA and ATOL bonded. That’s valuable in these uncertain times.

Ok we’ve said enough. Put us to the test by calling 01635 885 177 or have a look at www.tailormadeflorida.com

Top 10 Car Hire in Florida Questions

noreply@blogger.com (TailorMadeFlorida) — Sat, 19 Nov 2011 17:55:00 +0000

Hiring a car in Florida with TailormadeFlorida.com is simple but there are 10 things you need to know to give you peace of mind. We get a lot of questions about car hire at Orlando and here we would like to answer some of your concerns.

1. Are there any extra charges for insurance or Collision Damage Waiver to pay? The answer is no! We have an inclusive deal with our suppliers and you pay all charges up front when booking your holiday. We know that some tour operators sell you ‘basic car hire’ here in the UK and then leave you with a big bill for insurance when you pick up the car in Florida. Surprisingly it’s the big, well known holiday companies that still do this and we don’t know how they get away with it! Their motivation is very simple – they can advertise very cheap ‘fly-drive’ packages and therefore receive lots of enquiries. Don’t be fooled!

2. What is the difference between ‘gold’,‘silver’, ‘platinum’ etc insurance? There are two types of car hire you can choose with us – different websites use different terms but we’ll call ours silver and gold.

SILVER - you are fully insured for two adult drivers. Adult drivers need to be 25 years old and to have held a driver’s licence for a year. You pick up the vehicle with a full tank of fuel and bring it back empty or as near as you can manage. You pay Alamo (our supplier) for the tank of fuel on pick-up at the airport. The charge for the first tank of fuel varies according to the size of the vehicle and to current fuel prices but I can give you a good example – I picked up an Intermediate 4 Door at Orlando in March this year and I was charged $45. I filled it up a couple of times during my visit from a quarter tank and paid about $35 so the charge seemed fair.
GOLD – you are fully insured for four adult drivers. You pick up the vehicle with a full tank and take it back empty. You pay nothing to Alamo for the fuel – instead we charge you a higher rate here in the UK. Is gold worth buying? Only if you need the four drivers. A lot of people believe that GOLD gives superior insurance cover but this is not so. You are fully insured on both deals and the insurance is identical.

3. What size of vehicle do I need? You have to be a little careful here. One thing’s guaranteed – you are going to have a few suitcases and bags to deal with so you need a bit of space. Another consideration is the type of driving you’ll be doing. Car hire is cheap in the US so in my opinion there’s no need to bother with the two smaller models which are economy and compact. Go straight to Intermediate if you are a party of 2 or 3.. If you’re a party of 4 adults don’t bother with Intermediate – go straight to Full-size or a Mid-Size SUV. If you’re a party of 5 then a 7 Seat Minivan or a Standard SUV is a good option. Larger parties have the 7 seat SUV, the 8 Seat Minivan or the 12/15 Seat Minivan to choose from but don’t forget that 2 Full-Size cars will work out cheaper than the 12/15 Seat Minivan and you’ll have more freedom while on holiday. The bottom line is that there’s no need to try and economise by choosing the smallest cars – the saving is tiny and you’ll be uncomfortable.

4. What’s the procedure at Orlando International and what about the deposit? Don’t worry – it’s not difficult. As soon as you hit ‘Arrivals’ you’ll see the car hire desks in front of you. The bigger companies such as Dollar, Alamo and Budget have quite a few desks and they know when the Brits are coming – unless you’re unlucky they’ll be well manned. You simply hand in your voucher along with your driving license and a credit card (must be a major card such as Visa or MasterCard). Usually your contract will be printed out within 10 minutes and you’ll be done. The credit card is authorised for a few hundred dollars against deliberate damage, traffic fines or missed tolls etc. We’re often asked if a cash deposit can be made. The answer’s yes but you won’t find the process convenient. For starters you will needs to leave $300 per week. That means if you’re on holiday for a fortnight it’s $600, 3 weeks $900 and so on. When you bring the car back the cash is not returned to you – instead you are given a dollar cheque. You’ll need to deposit the cheque with your bank on return to the UK and who knows what they’ll charge you to clear it or how long it will take. We’re also asked if the deposit can be made with a debit card. Again the answer’s yes but your debit card must be Visa or MasterCard – Solo, Maestro, Electron etc are no good. In addition this is only an option at Orlando International – not at Florida’s many other airports. Once your contract is printed you walk along to the garages – less than a hundred yards. Here you’ll find lines of cars organised in size category and all with the keys in and ready to go. Each size is likely to have several different models. Choose your favourite and off you go! Lots of potential here for arguing between yourselves over which is the best model but obviously Mum knows best!

5. I want a particular model – can this be guaranteed? The answer is 'No' unfortunately. Cars are graded by size. You’ll be amazed though if you ring round a few travel agencies – some of them will ‘guarantee’ a particular model. All nonsense I’m afraid! Don’t worry about the quality of the cars – they are pretty much all late model and the specs are good. All are air conditioned and have Radio/CD so take a few CDs with you if you want. If you forget it doesn’t matter – the US radio stations are excellent and there are loads to choose from. Bruce Springsteen guaranteed!

6. What about all the horror stories I’ve heard about extra charges? All the car hire companies will try to sell you some ‘extras’ and in the US they know how to sell! You’ll often be asked if you want an add-on and truth be told it’s possible that the staff will imply that some of them are necessary. Favourites include roadside assistance and personal injury protection. Suffice to say that you already have everything that’s required by US law to drive so think carefully before you sign for extra charges. Once you’ve signed it will be difficult or impossible to recover them so please be careful

7. Can younger people drive? Yes they can and we can arrange the ‘young driver’s package’ for you. This allows one driver aged between 21 and 24 per vehicle and gives a further 3 adult drivers on the same vehicle plus a tank of petrol. If you’re going for a week the supplement will be about £70 although this can vary

8. I’m picking up and dropping off at different airports – any problems or charges? No problem at all if both the airports are within Florida – say Miami and Orlando or Tampa and Fort Lauderdale. The car hire companies make no charges. If however the 2 airports are in different states you will need to pay a ‘one way drop-off fee’. These fees are on a sliding scale according to mileage and start at about $100 – they rise to about $500 if the journey is coast to coast although this circumstance would be unusual.

9. I’ve got children – what are the rules about baby seats? Nothing different here to the UK – the rules are identical. You have 2 choices on baby seats – you can either take your own at no cost (the airlines are very accommodating) or you can rent them locally from the car hire company at a cost of about £5 per day. I know what I would do!

10. I need a Sat-Nav Good idea – you’ll spend your holiday enjoying yourself rather than lost! There are 3 choices………….take your own with you having downloaded US maps from their website (not difficult to do and costs about £10)………….pay a fee to the car rental company who will supply you with a machine (about £35 per week)…………..or buy a US Sat-Nav locally if you’re a regular visitor. Radio Shack is a good shop to visit and you’ll find one in every mall.

Car hire in Florida is simple, but you need to be careful that you understand the full ramifications of your hire and that you not only get the best price but you also get the best advice. Feel free to contact me at alex@chartertravel.co.uk and if you need a competitive car hire quote give me a call on 01635 885 170.

On May 31st 2012, Disney's newest hotel is set to open........Disney's Art of Animation Resort. It has already started taking reservations and we are already booking people in for their holidays in Florida in Summer 2012.

The first of the hotel's four phases to open is a Finding Nemo-themed wing of family suites, including a pool that will be the largest swimming pool at any Disney World Resort........and no wonder...as it occupies roughly 12,000 square feet.

Next is the Cars-themed suites at the end of July. Then there are Lion King-themed suites at the end of September and lastly a wing of Little mermaid-themed, conventional hotel rooms by the end of 2012.

In total, this brand new Florida resort will feature 1120 family suites and 864 standard rooms. As a bonus for holiday makers, this resort is classed as a value hotel and thereby the cheapest of Disney's three hotel categories.

If you need a quote to include a stay at this brand new resort in Florida, please call us and our Florida specialists will be able to help you tailor make your Florida Holiday.
