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.

How to survive the flight to Orlando?
We’ve rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you’ll be breezing through airport security and discovering Orlando in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First and foremost, pack your passport, travel docs, wallet and daily medications. Next, you’ll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some great options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should always be your highest priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy work well.
  • Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help minimize this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Orlando?
Being organised before your flight will help make your getaway to Orlando easy and painless. Below you’ll find some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

  • Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • For just a few moments, you’ll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • It’s also possible you’ll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
  • Sharp or pointed items can’t be taken on board. They’ll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
