Strange question re 2 people flying from different airports?

Hi,

So I am trying to book a trip. I live in Scotland and will be travelling from Glasgow. My friend will be travelling from London. Was looking at me flying to London but its so complicated and getting more and more expensive the more I look that i am thinking we might be best travelling on our own and meeting in Orlando. Has anyone done this and managed to book a package? Just wondering. Any advice would be fab! We want to go at the end of Oct this year so really need to get booked up soon!

Thanks

Claire

Last year I flew from Manchester and DD flew from Gatwick. We used the Magic Express separately and met up at POFQ. We booked hotel, tickets and DDP as a package but booked flights separately with Virgin. All worked out fine.

I've done this before but as the previous poster has mentioned - you won't be able to book a package including flight this way. You can do a package for hotel, tickets etc for the 2 of you but the flights will need to be booked separately.

a package = everyone on the reservation has the same items (flights, room, tickets, and so on)

if you're flying from different airports, you won't be able to book a flight inclusive package.

Hi Claire

had a wee look for you. One option - 10th - 24th October. Both fly aer lingus via Dublin. Gla 11.30 arrive dub 12.40, Gatwick 10.55 arrive dub 12.20 both on the 14.10 flight from Dublin to mco (arrive 18.35). This comes in around �420pp and has the bonus of clearing immigration in Dublin!

Hope this helps!
