Where to book your flights?

Planning a trip to Orlando is an exciting milestone for any family, but sorting out the logistics can feel a bit overwhelming. When it comes to booking your flights, you generally have two main paths: heading straight to the airlines or using a broad-search comparison site to weigh your options.

Booking directly with major carriers like Virgin Atlantic, British Airways, or Aer Lingus often provides the most peace of mind. By going straight to the source, you have a direct line of communication with the airline if your plans change, and it is usually much simpler to manage seat selections, meal requests, and loyalty points. For a "big" family holiday where you want to minimize stress, having that direct control over your booking is a huge advantage.

On the other hand, many families prefer to start by using a comparison website. These tools act as a shop window, allowing you to quickly see schedules and pricing across multiple airlines at once. They are excellent for identifying the best dates and routes, especially if you are flexible with your travel times or are trying to find the most cost-effective way to get the whole family across the Atlantic.

We highly reccomend you use Skyccanner to search for flights....
