Much easier to go on the Interstate 4 (I4) sorry don't know whether we went East or West I never know!

From the airport to disney you would be taking the I4 west.
The junction numbers are actually mile markers which explains why
they aren't numbered sequentially - its actualy a good idea once
you get used to it.

Anybody know if your sales tax on purchases if refundable in USA ???

No sales tax is charged on purchases in New Hampshire. You can claim sales tax back on purchases of goods only in Louisiana.

If you're thinking of Travel City just be aware of all the dreaful delays they've been having. Most flights delayed by a day last week.

I've been to Florida a few times with Travel City and never had any delays or any other problems so have often recommended them on these boards , but went with them to Vegas last year and suffered delays on both legs of the journey , so coupled with what you say about delays this year am put off booking with them again.

Hello,

For those who have flown on Travel City Direct's own flights - Do they have TV's in the backs of the seats, please?

We have used them before, but flew with Britannia - the staff were lovely, but they werent individual TV's, so the only film to watch was Chicago - all the kids on the plane were bored !!! Not very good. This was 2 yrs ago.

We are thinking of using Travel City Direct for the 6 weeks holidays next year.

Thanks in advance.

No individual tv screens when we flew last year with TCD. Didn't bother us though as we never watch the films. I am happy doing the Daily Mail cryptic crossword and driving them all mad trying to workout the answers while they are trying to read!

Thank you.

We are travelling with a 4 year old and a 7 year old, though !!!

We would love to travel Virgin, but prob cant afford it. Cant check the prices as it is too far in advance for Virginatlantic website.

My daughter was just 8 on our first long haul flight. Keeping her amused wasn't a problem. Other kids on flight seemed ok - the babies were the problems. Poor things struggling to sleep!

Just give the infants some brandy in their milk - that'll shut them up for a few hours!!!
