Orlando flights take you to the centre of Florida and an area that is widely considered to be the theme park capital of the world; the biggest of those parks being the Walt Disney World complex. This is the largest privately run tourist destination in the world, and actually located in Lake Buena Vista, rather than Orlando itself.

Add that to the Universal Studios, Busch Gardens, the Kennedy Space Centre and Sea World resorts, and Orlando’s reputation is well deserved. But flights to Orlando aren’t just for thrill seeking theme park enthusiasts; there are many attractions in the city itself, including theatres, bars and restaurants, as well as Lake Eola, a charming park with a swan-filled lake. Golf and tennis are also well provided for in Orlando, and, as with much of the US, there are plentiful retail therapy opportunities, including malls, outlet malls, and ethnic areas.

Orlando is a popular destination all year round, although the heat of high summer might be a little too much for most Europeans. Cheap Orlando flights are generally more likely outside of the school holiday periods and can be obtained by using our price comparison facility.
