Gold Medal Launch Out Of Date Range Holidays Online With One Agent Already Making Bookings

 

Agents seeking Out of Date range package holidays to Florida and New York can now book them online with Gold Medal. The brand turned on the functionality on their website this week, allowing agents to search and book package holidays to Florida up until March 2027 and New York until March 2026.

 

Gold Medal have launched with a full Florida program inclusive of over 100 hotels including Disney, Universal and villas, with car hire and park tickets available too. When searching for out of date range flights to Orlando, agents will find options from airlines Virgin, British Airways and Aer Lingus departing from UK airports Manchester, London and Edinburgh with guaranteed pricing.

 

Pricing for New York is also guaranteed, with a further 70 hotels available until March 2026.

 

Before Gold Medal announced the launch of ODR online to agents, one Barrhead Travel agent was already searching the Gold Medal website for faraway holidays and successfully booked a Universal package holiday to travel in October 2026 – 21 months in advance of travel.

 

Nicki Tempest-Mitchell, Barrhead Travel Managing Director shared, “It’s been clear for a while now that holidaymakers are planning their trips earlier every year. Particularly when it comes to those bucket-list holidays, we’re seeing that customers want the certainty of booking in advance, not only to spread the cost, but to guarantee their first choice of accommodation.

 

“It’s great to see key partners, such as Gold Medal, advance their ODR product – the fact we were the first to use the service without it even being launched illustrates the demand for this type of product. I know our teams will be excited to learn more about the packages on offer and to share them with their customers.”

 

Karen Fletcher, Gold Medal Trade Partnerships Director commented, “We knew the demand for out of date range package holidays online has been strong for a long time, following feedback from our agents. Agents can phone our contact centre for ODR quotes but having it available on the web now is a unique feature that we hope agents will utilise for those clients planning further ahead.”

 

Gold Medal are currently working on expanding the product available online to support this new proposition.
