As you've been told, you HAVE to take that first flight otherwise the rest of your journey is voided.
However, if the return routing is the same then you can just abandon the last leg, ie you get off at Gatwick, collect your luggage and then head home, skipping going to Heathrow and flying up to Manchester. This may make the option better for you, possibly... |

Booked with BA LGW-TPA Direct.
Dates 27th July to 19th August (23 days) 2Adults and 1Teen with SUV and 1 Checked bag each £2620 . I was getting quotes of £700-800 for the car hire alone so this made the Flights roughly £600-650 per person for School holidays which I thought was pretty good. One quirk I did notice over the last few days of checking prices through BA was that if I priced up as multi-city flight only (even though i was basically booking a return) then add the car on once its loaded prices for the flights it was £164 cheaper than if you do it as a booking search for a flight and car package.

That's wrong i'm afraid as they put your luggage through to your final destination. You may hear some people say otherwise but we have actually done that flight and we tried all ways to get our luggage off after first leg to no avail. We were told it's their way of countering people being no shows on the final leg.
Personally i wouldn't risk it but each to their own i suppose. Unless you have hand luggage only |

Not sure though on this leg as you would have to make own way from Gatwick to Heathrow, collecting luggage at Gatwick and using other transport to Heathrow, we dropped the last leg a few years ago, got out at Heathrow with cases when should have gone to Gatwick and then Jersey

My apologies if wrong but when we did it we asked at Florida side and when we landed UK side (it was a few years back though and would have to double check all the info on notes). No suitcases
All i remember was it was hassle and we vowed to never do it again so personally we only do direct these days. Edited at 12:56 PM. |

Weve done this twice, the key is changing airports before final leg as u have to get your cases to transport yourself

On this route though going to Manchester the second flight goes from Heathrow not Gatwick so you have no choice but to collect your bags and make your own way to Heathrow. If the second flight is from Gatwick then yes it would be difficult to get your bags off early.
We did this route in 2017 and caught the train from Gatwick home instead of flying to Manchester. |

Excited about Disney

Well, I feared it would happen...my cheap return leg from Orlando has now nearly doubled in price, whilst i’m waiting for the outbound leg to reduce in price with BA. I’m now holding out for Virgin prices at the end of this week.

Nope.
If your BA flights traverse Gatwick and Heathrow, you have to make your own way between the airports with your luggage. |
