We considered that Lyn, but you can't get in the room until 2pm?
It's quite common for airport hotels to offer day rooms or even hourly rates. I've never used one at Gatwick but I'd be surprised if that option wasn't available at one of the hotels there.
EDIT: Just checked and see that both the Hilton and Sofitel will take bookings for day rooms. There may well be others but I didn't look beyond those.

I too wish there was a decent flight fromEdinburgh. If we want to fly fromGatwick, the wait between the return flight from Orlando arriving and the flight to Edinburgh is horrendous. Edinburgh to and from Gatwick flights are pretty sparse.

I honestly don't get what's so special about BA but they certainly have their loyal customers. I can't see why anybody outside the SE of England would go through the hassle of getting to and from Gatwick to fly with them when they have alternative services from local airports connecting within the US.
There are a lot of flights Virgin have from Manchester now. I noticed when doing LGW - Orlando checks there seem to be several a day flying via manchester.
I'm not sure about a 'lot' or 'several a day'. There is a daily service with an extra flight on 3 days of the week (which bizarrely only returns to Manchester on 2 days of the week according to this link). I also think the main point is Virgin could do with some decent competition on the Manchester route to perhaps make their fares a bit more palatable.
