Hi
Can anyone suggest the cheapest way to get 4ad, 1youth & 4ch from Lon - MCO?
Flying out 6th Aug and Returning 20th Aug.
Prices are quite high with VS direct but wondering how to do the Dublin route??
Thanks

TBH doing ex-EU flights in Y rarely results in any major savings.

There are already several threads on how to do ex-EU flights - and the associated risks - so have a look at those.

You really need to spend sometime on something like google flights choosing various start points such as DUB/AMS/CDG/CPH/OSL and looking at the various options. Remember to add in the cost of the positioning flights and possible extra hotel nights though!

The Dublin thing really only works with Upper prices - for the extra hastle and costs of flights across to Dublin, your not really saving anything.

Have you tried Ex GLA and MAN, there is sometimes an odd deal going but being peak season you will struggle to get sensible prices

At the moment coming in at circa a £1k each.
I'll try the usual search engines etc and hopefully get something a little bit cheaper!
Thanks

August is of course prime time with it being in the middle of the school holidays - going at a weekend is always going to be expensive, so (if you can) try moving the days slightly and even if this reduces the actual time out there, you could find slightly cheaper fares.

Of course there is always BA Thomas Cook and Thompson to give you an idea of what the going rate is.

If you're looking at spending £1k for economy then for that kind of money you might as well go Club World with BA out of Dublin for £1138!

Realistically there are economy fares out of London on those dates around the £700 mark (but £903 with VS) so if VS is your preferred carrier then for £1038 you can go with VS on VS49/VS50 out of London in PE on those dates.

Thanks for all your replies. VS is preferred but not essential. I'll check out the BA options and also other carriers. I may give flying club a call and see what they can do.
Florida is now turning into an expensive place to get to and stay due to the weak pound, However we did have it too good a few years ago so it's averaging itself out!

check with norwegian as well, for MCO they are using 787s, according to seatguru the EC seat pitch is the same or better than on VS 747
