As others have said you can. Do the multi stop option on Ba, I’ve found it can quite often give you some cheaper results!

Or Norwegian now fly to tampa too, so another option

Thanks all. Does anyone have a July and into very early August ball park flight price? I only know one route and it’s associated prices. Am also very poor at flight roulette. Best deal I got was unplanned in the middle of the night after a few drinks ! Planning never seems to work I jump too soon.

I'd always fly direct from Gatwick to Tampa if I lived closer to Gatwick. Tampa is a great airport - not busy with loads of international flights like MCO...

We’re flying to Tampa end of July this year but they’re indirect via jfk from Heathrow. Return flights were £330.

Wow! Not keen on indirect due to everything that can go wrong but for that price maybe. We’ve paid 1k each plenty of times before... how long are you connections please?

Sorry just seen this. We have 4 hours at jfk on the way out and I think 1 hr 15 mins at Atlanta on the way back (I know that’s tight but will only have to go from gate to gate).

Flight out is 28 July so peak school holidays.

Plus we upgraded basic car to SUV in that price.

Try sky scanner and see what it comes up with. You can then book it all individual if you want or it might come up with different routes.

If you are heading to Disney then the difference in drive time from Tampa versus MCO is an additional 45 minutes (1h15 versus 30 mins). So it’s not massively out of the way to fly both legs into Tampa. If you are staying further west (Champions gate area) then the difference is even less.
