    Many airlines will not allow the stopover in NY to be for more than 24 hours on one ticket.

    ALL Airlines that operate via NYC will allow a stopover for longer than 24 hours, but for a fee.

    For Continental it's £40-£75, for American Airlines it's £70).

    Many tickets allow 2+ stops in the States, as long as you are within mileage / do not backtrack geographically. You pay more, but it can be cheaper than using multiple airlines.

    For Continental, you can stop in NYC, and on the way, many more cities FOC (just a bit of extra tax)

    The trouble is that online booking systems cannot accurately calculate these, or tell you to upgrade to the next booking class if the cheapest is not available. That's why its' good to speak to someone.

    Irrespective of how you view Travel Agents / Specialist Flight Bookers, if you exclude them from your search you are potentially cutting out the cheapest way of doing your itinerary.
  • a very helpful travel agent, I could recommend if I am allowed, pm and i will give the details
  • I am getting the flights i want for the durations I want, its just costing an arm and a leg, and because I am very flexible i cant view the flight price with the dates either side, so realllly long winded.

    I will try booking my NY to Lon, then maybe see how much the internal ones are, or go to my local travel agents whom around my way are not so friendly. :)

    thanks for the help guys!

    Unfortunately to find the best flights for you, you may have to put a bit of research in and make notes.

    I'd look at return flights to NYC and make note of the best out bound and return dates and prices and airlines and then do similar for Orlando MCO, then pick the best flights.

  • Another question...

    If I do the seperate internal flights is there any visa type things I need to be aware of or is the ESTA plus the obvious passport, ect all I need?

    thanks

    before you book just the transatlantic, make sure you are aware of the full costs of the internals. they are not as cheap as they used to be, so could cost you more in the long run.

    With internal flights in the US, the taxes, fees and charges can be low on one way internal flights, this means that if you have some frequent flyer miles it can be a good way for spending them, but always double check prices on no frills airlines such as https://www.southwest.com https://www.jetblue.com.
    With https://www.spiritair.com the carry on luggage allowance size is small, with extra charges for larger items.
