    Maybe I'm missing something but it seems like alpharooms is more expensive for our trip. We are coming out July 20-29th but we want to take a red eye on the 19th so we get in early on the 20th. So for a jacuzzi room for 20-29 with trip insurance it was going to be 2875.29 and that doesn't include our airfare. That's another 1200.00 to fly from San Diego. Any suggestions from anyone?

    some dates are cheaper then others.....I actually went to alpharooms back in Nov to see prices for the first week of may and it was 178.00 for single. And then I went back on it in Dec and got the price of 94.00 a night for single and it was still at that price in Jan for the same week not sure what it is now. So guess it depends on if they have a sale at certain times or have a block of rooms they need to book. The airfare is really expensive now with the price of fuel. But the best price I get separate is usually flying on tue or wed and coming back tue or wed. Just keep checking alpharooms for prices. I hope you weren't also talking about trip insurance from alpharooms since you cann't use that insurance since your not a UK resident . You have to get it else where....just search online for trip insurance and you got plenty of choices. I have used insuremytrip.com before and they weren't too bad.

    That's great advice. I didn't know you couldn't use the insurance with alpha... Thanks. What I'm guessing is that the better costs are for the single rooms not the jacuzzi rooms.

    Glad to hear no problem from Mardrock. This will be our first time going through alpharooms. I had to piece meal the trip because flights went through the roof the past few months. Save a little but not that much more thatn the other sites.

    I haven't used Alpharooms yet either. I keep checking the prices of there and Kenwood travel, and Kenwood looks like about $40 cheaper for the room, is it worth it to go with Alpharooms or save the money and go with Kenwood? I always see Alpharooms on the forums but saw someone had used the Kenwood Travel site, so I checked into it. It has stayed cheaper for a couple of weeks. I'm looking to book everything next week for Labor Day trip! Just want to get the best out of my second trip down there!

    Alpha Rooms

    I was wondering this same thing.

    Looking at Alpha Rooms and booking flights with AA direct, together they are about $400 cheaper then any of the other websites, Funjet, Orbitz etc.

    July here we come, trip # 7
