Flights to Orlando

The average flight time from London to Orlando is approximately nine hours.

British Airways flies direct to Orlando International Airport from London Gatwick.

With over 300 days of sunshine throughout the year and an average temperature of 24°C, Orlando is an idyllic year-round destination. Peak season runs May – August, when the weather hits highs of 33°C and school’s out for summer. The cheapest time to visit Orlando is during the milder months between January – April, when you can avoid the bigger crowds and queuing is quicker.

Although hurricane season ranges between June to November, Orlando tends to only see some impact during July and September – which usually comes in the forms of epic thunder storms with the occasional golf ball-sized hail stones. This weather usually arrives in bursts and clears for more sunshine. To find our cheapest flights to Orlando, use our low fare finder.
