Are you flying from Scotland for October 2016 Florida holidays?

Most of our Scottish customers are looking for Orlando flights departing 7th or 8th October 2016 for a fortnight.

One of the few opportunities to fly direct to Orlando is Virgin Atlantic from Glasgow – they fly on both the Friday and the Saturday.

If you’re quick we can book Virgin’s lowest fares for you.

For example:
  • 3 adults and 3 children departing Saturday 8th October 2016 for 14 nights
  • Fly Virgin direct to Orlando International
  • 7 seat minivan fully insured with Alamo Gold (pick-up and drop-off at the airport)
  • Prices from £775 each – book with a deposit of £75 each and no balance to pay until 90 days before departure
  • Full ATOL cover 

Now’s the time if you want these very busy dates – call Alex or Mark on 01934 319 851.

Plenty of other October 2016 Orlando flights too – United from Glasgow or Edinburgh, BA from the same airports and Virgin from Aberdeen.

All at great prices for early bookers – enquire now!





October 2016 Orlando Flights Almost Here

Now’s the time if you want to book popular October dates to Orlando for 2016

Most schools in England finish on 21st October

The 2 big departure dates are 15th October 2016 and 22nd October 2016

If you want to fly direct to Florida (especially Orlando) with Virgin or British Airways on or around these weekends call us now on 01934 319 851 or enquire here by email

We can grab these seats for you as soon as they appear in airline systems and substantially reduce your costs

For example:

3 adults and 3 children flying direct to Orlando with Virgin on Saturday 22nd October 2016 for a fortnight and driving a 7 seat minivan with Alamo Gold (multiple drivers, first tank of fuel free, top level of insurance cover) - available at just £795 each on an advance basis

Don’t delay! These seats don’t hang around and as the planes fill up prices rise

Want the whole October 2016 Florida holiday rather than just the fly-drive?

No problem – prices start at £895 each inclusive of October 2016 Florida flights, a comfortable villa at Emerald Island next door to Disney and fully insured van or SUV hire


Difficult dates are our speciality – enquire now!

Florida Flights for October Half Term from Scottish Airports


Greetings from Alex at floridaholidayplanner.com


It’s a busy time of year if you’re planning a Florida holiday during October half term 2013.

United Airlines are dropping seats into the system for their popular flights to Orlando, Tampa and Miami from either Glasgow or Edinburgh.

They are already loaded up to 16th October 2013 so two week itineraries departing on the all-important weekend of 4th October will be complete in the next day or two.

Prices are very good even for the peak dates

For example we have just completed a booking for a family of 7 flying Glasgow to Orlando on 2nd October for a fortnight. A 7 seat minivan fully insured for 2 adult drivers is included

Price is £585 each inclusive of all fees and charges and the booking is on a £75 per person deposit. Balances are due 90 days before departure.

If you need to travel on the weekend (Friday, Saturday or Sunday) add £40 per adult and £30 per child.

You might want to fly direct from Glasgow to Orlando with Virgin – availability is not looking very good outbound on 5th/6th or 12th/13th October and inbound flights are yet to appear. But if you call with the names of the passengers we can keep an eye on the flights and grab your seats as soon as they pop up. If the price is right you can go ahead and make a booking. If it’s too expensive the process has cost nothing.

We can hold options on multiple airlines for you so you have a choice of the best deals on the market

You need to be quick – half term seats are melting away!

Other options include Aberdeen to Orlando with Virgin via Manchester or Inverness to Orlando with Virgin via Gatwick. Just one stop and your bags go straight through.

We also have excellent fares with US Airways from Glasgow to Orlando or Tampa via Philadelphia.

If all else fails we have cheap flights to Florida from Manchester with Virgin. Flights are direct.

You can’t choose a better time to visit Florida than October – Halloween celebrations are in full swing and the weather is absolutely beautiful.


To give you an idea of the sort of holidays we can put together for you once your flights are organised check out the following pages on floridaholidayplanner.com:

Florida Holidays 2014 – Easter Florida Holidays 2014

At floridaholidayplanner.com we spend half the day emailing quotes for florida holidays 2014.

Top of the list as usual are enquiries for Easter 2014 Florida holidays.

We can put together any combo of Easter 2014 flights, vehicles and accommodation but if you’re short on inspiration check out our March 2014 Orlando holiday with Virgin flights.  March flights to Florida are unusually cheap because Easter falls late in April in 2014. Now’s your chance to grab a bargain.

You might be planning a 2014 Florida villa holiday. You can have a look at our February 2014 Orlando villa offer. February half term is the only school holiday of the year in the low season so prices are fantastic. So is the weather especially when compared to the UK’s freezing February skies!

Other Florida 2014 villa holidays: a peak date Easter Orlando villa offer from Glasgow or Edinburgh; a very cheap March 2014 two centre Florida villa holiday with the first week in Orlando and the second in Fort Myers 15 minutes from Sanibel; or, later in the year, a cracking June 2014 Orlando villa holiday which proves that you can holiday on Disney’s doorstep for less than the price of a fortnight in Tenerife.

If you realise you’ve missed the boat for Virgin and BA’s best prices for July and August next year (it’s incredible we know but peak dates sell out in a few days) now’s a good time to book in advance for 2014. Check out our July 2014 and August 2014 bargains.

If your heart is set on Mickey Mouse and the kids are holding you to ransom we’re good at Disney Florida holidays 2014. You don’t need to break the bank either. Have an look at our July 2014 Holiday Inn at Walt Disney World Resort package. At just £885 each preadvance inclusive of Virgin flights, the Disney hotel and a fully insured car you will wonder how we do it. Don’t forget that your holiday is booked with Major Travel with full ATOL protection so your money is safe.

If cheap holidays to Florida in 2014 are your desire look no further. Call or email us from floridaholidayplanner.com or, for a tailormade quote from your blogger, write direct to alex@floridaholidayplanner.co.uk. Good prices and friendly service from a Florida professional guaranteed
