One-way GLA (or MAN) to Orlando (or Miami) - early March 2011

Cheapest I am finding on Skyscanner is Aer Lingus for around £400. Although there are combinations like like Easyjet/BMI to Germany & then Air Berlin from Dusseldorf coming in at low £300s but it's too much faff with 2 plane changes and perhaps an overnight in Dusseldorf.

Anyone know of any other carriers - max 1 change of plane?

Best is to look at Kayak.co.uk where you can see all possible connections and airlines.

Thomson fly direct from Manchester. Came up as £369 although it is £40 for a bag so its more like £410. Direct flight and a decent 33" seat pitch. You have to book it as a return though (departing 4th March returning 11th). Just don't use the return.

Thanks, yes, I saw this one via charterflights.co.uk but didn't consider it as the Aer Lingus for the sme sort of price gives the more usual US luggage allowance of 2 pieces (I think). Also I think it's to Sanford rahter than MCO.

Afraid it came up with even less suggestions than skyscanner.

Another advantage of flying Aer Lingus is that you can clear US Immigration and Customs at Dublin so you are treated as a domestic passenger on arrival.

Aer Lingus low fare is one bag now...many of the carriers to the US dropped to 1 bag last year and charge for 2nd (EI is £36 for 2nd bag)

Unless you have the right to live in the US you can't use ESTA or the VWP with a one way ticket - you need proof that you are going to leave the US and that generally means an onward flight.

If you do book a one way ticket then you run a good chance of being refused boarding or refused entry to the US

I shall have proof, thanks.
