I was there at Easter.. if you read ‘Panhandle purgatory’, linked from my signature, you will see exactly what weather we encountered.

As for summer, I have no personal experience, but weather history indicates, nice, hot and sunny. Of course, just like Florida at that time, you do have some chance of storms.

I don’t understand the brand loyalty to virgin. In the main they are more expensive than BA by a significant margin and the way they treated people over the pandemic was appalling.

We're going almost the exact same dates
Found it cheapest to fly into Miami via London Heathrow and then back via Tampa or Orlando using BAs customer trip

We have found direct from LHR to MCO cheaply but the company that are offering have horrific reviews on trust pilot...

Anyone heard of or used 'flight mover' flightmover/

Something is worrying me about using them as the price is too cheap...

I don't understand all the financial stuff but I have a bad feeling about the site... and they keep asking for payment via bank transfer...

If something sounds too good to be true it normally is

Out of interest how are people determining that Tampa and Orlando are cheaper to fly out of after flying into Miami?

The return prices seem to be largely dependent on your inbound?

We're driving down to LHR this time - the direct Virgin flights for our dates are approx 1/2 the price of the Manchester ones. DH hates flying and we only ever go direct for this reason.

Never, never pay by bank transfer, some protection from buisness failure comes from your credit card.

At the moment I would certainly stay with the big boys, for me I will always book without a third party direct with the airline.
