We are going back to the Sunshine State in October 2012 (407 days and counting) yay!!! so I am starting to research flights now, a bit early I know but I can't help myself !

Questions :

We will be flying out of London so...

1. What do you think about flying direct or indirect maybe to Tampa, the villa is in Davenport so the right side of I4 for Tampa ? (we have always flown with Virgin to Orlando International never been very impressed with them or the airport though)
2. What would be the best indirect routes to take and how much time would you have to leave for change overs ?
3. Is the cost of flying indirect a lot cheaper than direct bearing in mind the cost of flying on the whole these days.
4. What airline would you recommend using, (a must is seatback TV's, I have heard that some american airlines don't have them transatlantic, a nightmare with the kids if there aren't any).
5. Do you book direct with the airline or through an agent etc ...

I am sure I will think of more questions as I go along.
Many thanks for all your long and varied answers (I hope) [msnsmile2]
