Multi city flights.

[kp789]

Looking for some help please. Have been pricing up some flights for this September to get a handle on costs for next September.

Wanting to fly out direct to NYC and spend a few nights there then fly down to Orlando and spend week there with return flight back to UK.

If I put in details for direct to NYC, 4 days later to MCO and then 7 days after that back to UK the prices come up at around £700.

However some of the searches come back at £355 if fly NYC to MCO the day after I arrive in NY.
Way cheaper. I can buy an internal NYC to MCO direct ticket for about £100 so my question is if I didn't take the 2nd flight on my multi city would I forfeit the MCO to UK flight or are they all completely different tickets?

Hope I've explained that OK?

BTW these are with virgin/delta.

I would book the open jaw ticket as one reservation for the transatlantic flights and then buy the NY - MCO flight separately. As correct, if you don’t take the NY - MCO flight, the next flight on a linked booking is going to cancel.

Wife and I did this tour 4 years ago, we booked flight from man-ny stayed in ny for 5nights then flew ny to Miami and then travelled up to Orlando and flew home to gla from Orlando cost was £205/£40/£230 for each flight, best thing we found was to keep an eye on flights every day and be a bit flexible on how long you spend in each area.

Not taking the second flight on the outbound would cancel your inbound ticket.

Most airlines work on the principle that a through ticket is anything that has less than 24 hours between legs; and these are generally cheaper than having a longer gap.

If you can get a ticket that stops in NYC for about 20 hours, I'd be tempted to take it, after all if you really work hard you can do the tick-box items of NYC in under 24 hours (if you want to do loads of shopping it will take longer, but it would also have been cheaper in Orlando as well)

I booked Manchester to New York (4 Nights) then an internal to MCO and then flying back direct from NY premium economy with Delta (all virgin operated) for £720pp

I booked my own MCO > JFK Separate with delta as I got a good deal on business class.

Thanks for all the advice. Was just wondering if it was 1 ticket or each leg had a separate ticket. Looks like I'll be booking internal flight separate then which are really cheap to begin with. Have a few months to go before flights for next year come out so have plenty of time to book.

This is what I would do as well.
