If you fly to Disney World, there’s a lot you need to know right now!
Orlando International Airport
Most airlines have implemented new health and safety measures to deal with the pandemic. Also, Disney’s Magical Express service to and from the Orlando International Airport is being discontinued at the end of this year. On top of that, several new flight options are coming soon to Orlando, including some to the UK!
The airline Aer Lingus plans to begin offering direct flights from Manchester to several US cities. As part of this list, a new flight to Orlando will be available starting July 29th.

This new flight will be offered on a large Airbus A330-300 aircraft, considering Orlando is a popular vacation destination. No specific details have been given on a price for this flight, but Aer Lingus mentions that their summer transatlantic fares “start from £199 each-way, as part of a return journey.”

Other places that will get direct flights from Manchester are New York’s JFK airport on July 29th, Barbados on October 20th, and Boston in the summer of 2022. These new flights will create nearly 120 job opportunities for the people of North England.

Hi Tom
I have been following your blogs for many months and am keen to hear your opinion.
Does that mean the USA will be lifting restrictions from the UK from July?
We are aiming on booking a Florida Holiday for November after cancelling it 3 times in the last 12 months.
We tend to fly from Heathrow to Miami, enjoy a night in Naples or Longboat Key and then drive on to Disney. Cars are virtually included with the flight and it’s a lovely way to see a little more of Florida before the main event. It’s also useful having a car at Disney itself, though of course having to pay for the privilege is the downside. If we were coming straight to Orlando in 1922 without a doubt we’d pay for the Mears transport.
The UK is still on lock down I do not think they are coming to the U .S .A . Vaccinated passagers would have to be proven at this time I think the elderly is getting the vaccine . It is going to be hard on everyone all over the world . The CDC give s us hope and then they give us bad news . To believe it is the question and answer . We all are in limbo our live s are all on stay by finding the answer will be later than sooner .
