It’s our 3rd time too! Not been since 2015!
We are from north east Scotland, normally travel to Manchester as have family there, but for first time we have chose to fly from Glasgow next year but flights are now not travelling on the days we have booked so next decision will be to decrease the amount of nights we are going for, or fly from Inverness to London or drive to Manchester, need to wait until we are 331 days out which is next month 🧐 Edited at 10:15 AM. |

Being in Fife have done the following routes:
GLA to MCO with VA EDI - LGW - MCO BA MAN - MCO VA GLA - SFB TUI EDI - DUB - Charlotte - MCO Ryanair/AA Have been searching recently and came across EDI - PHL - MCO with AA. Worse thing about flying from Manchester was the drive back. Now stay a night before driving back.

Always London as we're in the Highlands.
So INV-LGW or now LHR. Flying with BA means we can travel all in a single day with a single booking. Virgin meant flying with Easyjet the night before at and a hotel stay at the airport. Travelling to Edinburgh or Glasgow to fly just ended up more expensive and more of a hassle due to flight times. Manchester is too expensive for us to get to also as it's only Loganair that fly there. |

Moz - being from Aberdeen we always see the change of airport and are not up for it, so have gone Glasgow direct (didnt like the drive back) and via Manchester but no more flybe so that is not so good as you have to stump up for Logan Air
Currently Orlando also flying from Heathrow so looks good... but there is a 4 hour wait at Heathrow! my wife is up for it but I remember how tired we were waiting 90 minutes at Manchester for a flight! I kind of though at least you would get a nap on the bus! I am seriously considering the KLM via AMS to Tampa and just heading to a nearby hotel when we land and up early the next day to drive up to Orlando. |

Hi we’re not from Scotland but regularly have Scottish on flights from Dublin with the added bonus of clearing customs and arrive as if on a local flight.

Thanks for all the responses, looks like i really need to sit and go through all the available options. I was doing a dummy run for sept next year as i cant see october as yet (thats with BA) but it was a mishmash of different flights. I loved that we could fly Inverness to gatwick then on the MCO and they just took care of the luggage. Now im a single parent, although i intend on hiring a car im not sure if id want to do all that travelling then drive from Tampa to Orlando but ill look into it. Its going to be an adventure no matter what
