LGW to MCO in November - quiet days of week?

Hi,

Flying to Orlando in early November and can't afford to fly PE at the moment so looking for the least crowded economy. Can fly out any day Saturday to Tuesday, which is likely to be the least crowded in economy or would they be much the same at this time of the year?

thanks in advance










Edit to thread title by mod for clarity....... Nick

Early November, you're out of school holidays so would imagine that the Monday & Tuesday flights would be quietest (Tuesday quieter than Mondays, in theory).

Do bear in mind that when the loads are really light on the LGW-MCO route, Virgin do amalgamate flights in low season. The flights were only amalgamated in Jan & Feb this year (in the main), but given the current economic climate, it is quite possible that November / early December flights could be amalgamated. Worst case scenario is that you leave LGW / MCO a couple of hours later than you originally planned.

I agree with James. November is a quite time for UK visitors to MCO, the half term is the last week of October, so all outbounds after that will be pretty quite up until the time late Nov/Early Dec onwards, with weekdays being quieter than weekends also. Plus it is cheaper to fly weekday to weekday as you avoid having to pay any weekend supplements.

Just as an aside, we are in MCO early Nov also, hoping for quite parks and good weather!

I agree with James & Neil that monday-tuesday will be the quiter days to fly i know because i have been in that month and its a joy, plus the parks are quiet little ques and very nice weather as well.

cheers

I note that you say you wish to fly out early Nov & I hope you have a fab holiday.[:)]

As an aside to everyone, don't forget the fact that Thanksgiving is Thursday November 26th & lots of hotels & restaurants are decorated.

This can generate extra air pax as many & families wish to spend this holiday together.

Also, the biggest sales start on Thanksgiving (similar to our January sales).

We are flying out the week before to do a spot of retail therapy because the prices are still very good without the heaving fight-to-the-death crowds that appear. [:D][8D]
