Looking for Cheap Florida Flights

I am looking to go to Florida between 13 Sep and 8 Oct. I unfortunately missed the BA travel shop sale. Does anyone know where i can get cheap flights from or when the next BA, Virgin sale may be. Cheers james

    Try expedia or flyglobespan or travelcitydirect. Or some of the travel package companies like thomsonfly or mytravel.

    I was in florida recently with Virgin and there were quite a few spare seats on the flight. I checked the prices the day before we flew and although I could still get a seat it wasn't any cheaper than what I paid months earlier.

    you could also try flying to tampa rather than orlando - the drive isn't terrible and you can often save quite a lot.

    I would also recommend this. Tampa is easy to get through and the queues at immigration are not half as bad.

    I'm also looking for cheap flights to Florida later in the year, but would like to fly into Tampa, anytime starting 16th Oct for 4 weeks last flight out of the UK being 6th Nov.
    The only flights I've found so far are £500, flying from any London airport.
    Any ideas where I can get cheaper flights...Thanks in advance

    Bish bosh, just been to https://www.aa.com & they've got various weekday flights from London to Tampa (all change at Dallas or Miami) for £423 incl taxes and weekend prices for about £15 more.thumbsup4kk.gif
