Just checked, we booked through BA as we had some slack Avios to use up… but the same dates with TUI for hotel only are coming out at £2086

I was looked end of July into August. Maybe a supply/demand thing - you'll be benefitting from suppressed US visitors then with schools back etc.

Sorry to pester, but you believe that once you've got your hotel lateral flow test results, it'll just be a case of showing that to the airline, and if they're satisfied, they'll let you board.
We'll have to get our own testing done in the town. But any necessity to self isolate in the US is advisory only. Thanks. |

Yep that’s correct.
No requirement to self-isolate in the state of Florida so you’re all good on that front |

It is good to see positivity and the determination of Dibbers on this thread BUT please, please do your research (as posters on here are doing). Know exactly what the terms and conditions of any travel/hotel arrangements you may make and prepare a basic backup plan for a possible change that may happen - contact details of airlines/hotels (the obvious really) etc.
I'm not trying to "teach grandma" but being in possession of basic information can really help in these circumstances and can do away with any initial panic if something does happen. External events (earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and more) have happened to me and my go to list has proved invaluable in getting organsied. This is advice that applies to any trip but when the added complcations of Covid rear their ugly head then it adds a further level complexity. Good luck everyone with your planning. |

Can't get through to BA... just keep getting cut off. I'll try later.
And I can't change the destination of the flight on Manage my Booking... only dates times etc. What a pain. |

Thanks, Stanley :-) I'm hoping this thread will help to iron out all the things that we need to consider - even down to the smallest things that you might forget to think about! So makes perfect sense to me. I honestly don't know if travelling via somewhere else is even a good idea, but so desperate to get to Florida and won't be able to go for another 12 months if we don't make it this August!

As you have found out it isn't possible to change a destination of the flight online - it is more complicated than you think.
Good luck when you try later, have a piece of paper and pen when you ring them, ask them what your options are and write them down then you have something to refer to when discussing what you want to do. Edited to add - check fully your insurance cover for the proposed journey if you haven't had a chance already. Edited at 11:21 AM. |

Just to give an update, I eventually got through to someone at BA's South Africa office.
A very long conversation, but the upshot was that because we'd upgraded our seats to Premium Economy, that he couldn't change the destination there and then. He said it's much more complicated on their systems, and that they'll email me back in a day or two. It'll then just be a case of what the additional cost is. I used Kayak to get prices for the Cancun to MCO flights. Bit concerning on there, because it says "Unvaccinated visitors from the United Kingdom will not be allowed to enter the United States." Not sure how accurate that is... we will be double jabbed, but it'll be a case of whether they accept it. Anyway we'll see what BA come back with, and go from there. So we could well still be going to Florida after all. All the best to anyone reading this, either doing the same, or thinking of doing the same :o) |
