Is it worth holding out for the morning BA flight

Hey dibbers

Still watching flights like a hawk for late April early may for our holiday next year. The 10.40 Lgw BA flight is consistently more expensive than the Pm flight.

It would definitely be nice to arrive in Orlando earlier in the day. But also Have read lots about ba cancellations - is it a slightly safer bet to aim fir the morning one? Just thinking if it is cancelled we may have a chance of being on the pm one if not full.

Cheapest I've seen so far is £488 for the morning one!

If cost is a key factor for you I would take the one at the best price.

Is it Hand Luggage only or with Bags included?

What dates? Late April to Early May can vary massively over a couple of days.

Hand luggage only. No dates set in stone. Can be flexible! I mean there's cheaper Norse flights but I'm sceptical!

I'm getting just over £600 per adult. including baggage for the early flight.
As I obviously don't know ages of your 3 kids/ young adults.
I mean that is relatively Standard now. regardless of what any one says about "time of year"
It's supply and demand.

I think a few people have said that the later flight makes jet lag management easier

We got the 8:55 Virgin flight from Heathrow 4th November. We used reward points so price wasn’t an issue. It was great getting in around 12:30 as flight was an hour early. We were staying at Wilderness Lodge so went over on the boat to MK (didn’t go in) then the Poly. We had time for dinner at Geyser Point too. Would definitely recommend an early flight although being served duck at 11 on the flight was a bit odd!
