Rare LHT28 Posted June 17, 2014 #2 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Are you going to do a deviation? If so you could just ask for the flights you want There are a few non stops from Gatwick to MCO with AA DL & Virgin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leonardray Posted June 17, 2014 Author #5 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Always fly from Heathrow, never though about Gatwick. Did check and they have direct flight on BA. Thanks for the info will check with Len when he gets home from golfing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare PaulMCO Posted June 17, 2014 #7 Share Posted June 17, 2014 You can also fly non stop MCO to Gatwick on Virgin Atlantic which code shares under Delta. We took the credit from Oceania and we were able to book a real premium economy seat on Virgin for $1800 pp. When you consider the credit amount and add the cost of a deviation since we are flying a couple of days early, it was a good deal.

Whiteowl Posted June 17, 2014 #8 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Has anyone use Oceania air for this and what kind of flight was it stops, airline etc thanks Unfortunately it is not possible to fly direct from Southampton as the runway is not long enough to cater for transatlantic flights. We have flown to Canary Islands off the coast of Africa but had to stop on the way out to refuel. Flying back was no problem as the fuel load was much lighter and the runway was then sufficiently long enough to land. Both Heathrow and Gatwick are easy to get to via direct coach but train is more difficult with a couple of changes needed. Taxi is the easiest way and will cost around £100 one way. Gatwick is smaller with 2 terminals while Heathrow has 5 terminals but both are extremely busy every day. Heathrow would have more direct flights but both serve the US very well on a daily basis.

There are hourly direct, no change trains, from Southampton Central to Gatwick Airport......just Google Southern Railway. Heathrow is also easy.....train from Southampton Central to Woking, then dedicated Rail-air coach service, both legs with several departures an hour. Google South West Trains. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
