Hey Everyone!!

Been a while since I've posted on here!! but why not post now :D

Ive just booked a flight with VH to orlando for 28 nights upper class, this will be the 3rd time going UC as its AMAZINGG!!!! but I've not been in september yet only been in june & july/august. So typically would like opinions on what it is like in september? weather/is it busy? and will i get an updated UC cabin?

Would be appreciated :D :D

Thanks

The LGW/MAN 747s are being refitted from April 2012 so there is a 100% chance of a refitted aircraft on your trip in September 2013 however rumours are that UC is not being upgraded. However new aircraft are coming online, you might get the new UC suite, who knows.

As for September, I can't comment on UC but when I went in early September 2011 for 2 weeks, the PE cabin on both flights were full. I think September is a good time to go as the weather is still hot and if going to the parks they have generally low crowds.

September is generally still blazing hot. whilst you may not hitb 95 every day expect it still to be as close to 90 as makes no difference.towards the end of the month it may cool a degree or two. its still hurricane seasona nd still expect the late afternoon t-storms and lightning shows.

I'd love even for the UC cabins were refurbished a little bit with better in flight entertainment! But I still love the UC experience it's amazing! You have to pay that little extra for better, but be a bonus if it was all new!

And I can't wait to go now love the weather out there it's not too bad some days on heat, as you can still breathe in it! :)

just as a general FYI on weather, the central areas (Orlando) suffer far worse humidity than the coastal areas....also the further south the temps can rise by 2-3 degrees at any time.

mid nov- feb are the 'colder' months, you can get frosts occasionally and daytime temps are in the 70s. October and March,followed by april are my favourite months. already temps are heading into the 80s beautiful blue skies and little rain. once you hit May its HOT, humid and rainy through until late sept/early Oct. if i were to choose one time to visit it would be mid October then late March.
