    Any good deals?

    Hi all,

    I am looking for flights for March 2018 Manchester to Orlando. I can only find Virgin flying directly at over £1000 per person. BA come in at half this price but with a stop over. Has anyone got any ideas why Virgin is suddenly so expensive and secondly has any one seen any good deals lately.

    Thanks
    Diane

    I've seen the BA flights too and thinking thats what I will be booking if nothing else comes up, I really wanted to fly direct but Virgins prices are way over the top.

    The Manchester-Heathrow-MCO route with BA I believe requires you to transfer from Heathrow to Gatwick unless you fly via Miami or some other hub. Seems a lot of hassle switching airports in London with all the bags.

    Anyone done it and how easy is it ?

    The Virgin prices from Manchester are getting ridiculous.

    I have done the LHR-LGW transfer on other routes starting in Manchester On the outbound it's an expensive, inconvenient and frustrating experience. On the inbound transferring in the other direction after a long overnight flight is a complete nightmare.

    There are plenty of good transatlantic options from Manchester these days and I don't even consider BA flights from LGW anymore.

    Incidentally, BA's Miami flights don't use T5 so a terminal change is required if you fly in/out of Manchester.

    Thanks, you have confirmed my view that this is not a route we should consider.
