No direct flights, but you can do indirect, usually Contintental to Newark NJ, then either United or Continental to MCO from there. However, the flights won't be cheap and you have to leave early in the morning on your way home.

Last year US Airways flew BHX to MCO, indirect. Launched in May 2009. Not sure if it is still operational or as frequent as Continental's daily flight. Continental have some reasonable flight prices but not for this year's June - Aug period. V expensive this year,

We got a flight from MCO at 3pm and then left Newark at 7pm (local times) so there are later flights available, just depends on availablilty on the different days.

We have flown with Continental on our last 4 trips, the only reason we aren't booked with them for next year is because we have got an excellent deal elswhere. Continental have excellent IFE and great service.

Ah, just must be down to the time of year we travel then (admittedly it is outside of school holidays). Whenever I look at that route on our dates, the only way to catch the Newark-BHX flight would be to get on a flight leaving MCO at about 9am, which means you miss out on the whole of your last day.

But then I do have the advantage of only being about halfway between Birmingham and Heathrow, so I'm spoilt for choice when it comes to indirect options!

Yes probably, we always go in December / January so could be a difference in seasonal schedules. We live 5 minutes from BHX so like to use the facilities so close to us! having said that we are flying from MAN next year so anything could happen!
