Flexible Fares

Hi all,

I am looking at travelling to Orlando from London in Januaray to undertake PPL training and because of the nature of what I am doing I wish to be flexible on my return date.

I have looked at a number options e.g. BA and Virgin Flexible tickets and they are pretty expensive - BA £1.2k each way and Virgin £1.2k return.

However, if I look at virgin terms and conditions when looking at either Economy (non flexible £425) or Premium Economy (non flexible £890)- It says I can make changes at a cost of £70 for either leg (Must stay a Sat night etc etc..).

I am just wondering what it is that makes the flexible tickets that much more expensive to make them worth the money over making changes to a standard ticket.

Do the virgin premium economy seats have laptop charging points as per BA's world traveller plus (Already have the adapter) or any other features other than space/food?

An if anyone knows of any other good options to look at that would be helpful - or is it better to go down to one of the ever decreasing number of travel agents to get the best options rather than look online.

Cheers for any help

Jof
