Flights to Florida
Florida is a favourite with UK families, but this state
isn’t all about Orlando theme parks. It is also home to stylish Miami, the
laid-back Keys and the wild Everglades. There are direct flights to Florida all
year round, travelling to a number of destinations up and down the state –
though some, including Orlando, are very seasonal and see both choice and
prices fluctuate significantly.
Most of Florida is a huge peninsula extending south from the
US, with the Atlantic to the east, the Caribbean to the south and the Gulf of
Mexico to the west; little wonder, then, that it’s a favourite for beach
holidays.
How can I find cheap flights to Florida?
There’s no getting around it: it can be tricky to find cheap
flights to Florida from the UK. It helps to avoid UK school holiday dates, but
bear in mind that winter sun and domestic travel also make much of Florida
popular at Christmas and New Year too.
If you do have to travel in July or August, book as early as
you can and look out for cheaper indirect flights, which can offer big savings
on direct ones. You can often pick up cheap deals on flights between September
and November – but while the weather is still warm, bear in mind that this is
hurricane season.
Making the most of your time in Florida
For many UK holidaymakers Florida begins and ends with
Orlando: the city of theme parks, roller coasters and sprawling malls. But the
Sunshine State is an incredible natural playground too, with a coastline of
almost 2,000km (1,350 miles) trimmed by thousands of barrier islands. It’s home
to the vast Everglades wetlands and to Biscayne National Park, a popular spot
for scuba diving.
