West Coast and East coast
Was looking at reward flights with virgin and it seems about the same price flying to california staying a week. Flying to mco. A week in Orlando then return flight to UK as it does from UK to mco return.
Think we may do this. Has anyone else done the same |

yes we did this in 2017 as we love California
travelled to orlando (Old Thomas cook!) stayed a week and then internal flight to yellowstone for a few days (but have also done internal to LAX or SFO ) then back from Cali to UK definitely worth doing

Yes, very often. If you don’t have the internal flight they’re called open jaw tickets (into 1 airport out of another).
For economy, New York/Boston etc are 10k each way. Florida/Atlanta 12.5k. West coast/Vegas 15k. Add 10k each to all for peak dates. The taxes are pretty much the same wherever you fly in the states. The internals are always cheap. virginatlantic/us/en...d-flights.html |

You say California but where?
It’s huge compared to Orlando! Northern Cali doing San Fran, Yosemite, Redwoods etc? LA area taking in theme parks, the movie world sites, beach towns etc. San Diego area, great city, Palm Springs, deserts etc. Drive the PCH? I’d be tempted to spend the whole 2 weeks in Cali; you’ll barely scratch the surface and will be back for more visits to see more! Happened to us 😃 |

We are doing this next August. Flying to LAX, mainly for Disneyland as it's a bucket list item. Staying 6 nights. We then have internal flights with Delta to MCO and then have 16 nights in Orlando.

We're looking at something like this for next summer, hope to get it booked in the next day or two, using rewards for upgraded Virgin flights for the outbound and return legs...
LON - LAX, 10-12 days on the west coast LAX - MCO (booked separately with cash), 10-12 days in and around Orlando MCO - NYC (booked separately with cash), 3-4 days in New York NYC - LON Reasons being... - After missing holidays for so long, we're struggling to decide which coast, so why not do both? - There seems plentiful rewards flights to both LAX and SFO currently for late July after the schools break up. - There's almost no availability for rewards flights back from MCO or MIA in mid-late August for three of us. - There's loads of availability for rewards flights back from NYC, and my son wants to go there, so why not also? The only complication is my daughter only wants to do the east coast part of the holiday so I might need to get her a rewards flight into MIA (last time I checked there were a few odd single seats), as there seems to be nothing into MCO, drive down and pick her up, and she can then fly home with us at the end.

Yeah, you certainly need to be focused!
Our first and still only west coast trip was for three weeks and we have still have so much to see, as well as things we want to do again, like another 4-5 days at Disneyland. |

I agree. Florida flight are too expensive for us next year, so we’re flying into San Francisco and out of Lax, for 2 weeks. 3 nights san fran’, then taking 3 nights to drive between the two (stopping a few times on highway 1), 3 nights Burbank, 5 nights Anaheim.
I still feel we need much longer, but we’ll be back. |

That's close to our plan too. Fly to LAX for a week, over to Miami for one night, onto a cruise for 4 nights, then up to Orlando for 12 nights.
Big birthday next year and always wanted to go to the original Disneyland!
