Orlando Flights

Though most people think of such destinations as Universal Studios and Disney World when they think of Orlando, this city is actually home to numerous other exciting attractions.
For example, this location houses the stunning Arboretum at the University of Central Florida, the fascinating Cornell Fine Arts Museum, and the entertaining Enzian Theatre. Considering that whole families of tourists come to visit year round, it is important to plan ahead in order to get cheap flights to Orlando.

Best time to go to Orlando

Peak Season:

The extensive peak season in Orlando begins in late December, carries over into March and April, then ends officially in mid-May to August. Accommodation and flights to the city can be very expensive, so you should book far in advance if you want to visit the popular theme parks like SeaWorld, or the lesser known attractions like Gatorland, the Florida EcoSafaris, or the Orlando Watersports Complex.

Shoulder Season:

Orlando's shoulder season falls from late May to early September. Though visitors tend to thin during these periods, the weather is still warm and mild. Because there are fewer crowds, this is an excellent time to play at Lake Eola, go for a trail ride at nearby Horse World, or see a performance at the Goldman Theater.

Off Season:

From late September and early December, then again in January and February, Orlando sees its shoulder season. The weather during these months is chillier than usual, but do not let this keep you from visiting. With the lack of crowds and an abundance of activity, this is a wonderful time to do some shopping at the Mall at Millenia, see the unusual exhibits at Ripley's Believe It or Not, or mingle with the locals at the Globe cafe.

Do you have any tips for my flight to Orlando?
Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Orlando could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some handy hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by wearing layers, and opt for flat, easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Orlando?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Orlando in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

  • Have your ID and travel documents within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
