There are 18 of our family going from Manchester to Orlando next July - us our kids and partners and grandkids - and we’re paying. Direct is £1250 per person, indirect to Tampa is £700 and this thread prompted me to look at flying to Miami which as the OP says is £500 per person. That’s a very substantial saving for an extra 3 hours or so drive.

Wish I knew why it actually costs more for this scenario... I mean you have to get another flight, all airlines seem to change more - does any one know why?

a direct flight is always more expensive than an indirect flight it's about convenience and comfort when flying LON-MCO-MIA with a 15hr layover in MCO, it's easy to see why it would be less expensive than flying direct from london to miami ... and that's because there is less flying, (less hassle, less "painful") that it's cheaper. basically, it's cheaper because it's a route nobody would want to fly, if it wasn't for a lower price. |

We got a cracking deal for Man to MIA you have a short stop at Heathrow but we managed to get it for £389 pp inc car hire, with BA / Avis 17th Aug to 4th Sep

Am I right in thinking flight prices from Manchester and Glasgow are much cheaper than similar flights from the London Airports? Is this a result of the North/South divide and a penalty for the 'wealthy' South East?

I was told it was to do with airport taxes... but I am not sure that is correct.
