flight help for 2008 - summer hols

[MrsJobba1]

Hi,

Can anyone recommend either an airline or travel agent to book flights from UK to Orlando.

Has anyone used an american company?

The only problem I have is that I have back problems and need extra leg room. I phyically cannot sit in standard economy seats. Previous years I have flown monarch ( who I did not care for ) and mytravel (their premium cabin) I have normally paid around £900 for this. is this good?

Just wondered if coach was USA versions of economy and whether there are differnet degrees of coach?

Any help is appreciated.

We are DVC members so have accomodation sorted - we were not suppposed to be going back till 2009 but Dh has just said if I can get some cheap flights we could go this year.

Happy new year.

I have flown on American carriers but haven't liked them they do not come up to our companies, IMHO. American Airlines and United I didn't like.

I fly Virgin or BA, and as I like my space I either book Premium economy, v good on Virgin, or Upper Class or Club world on BA.

For 2008 I booked direct with BA, on the website, and have club world to LAX and back from MCO Orlando.

I found BA cheaper than Virgin by £500, But prices change.

Booking a flydrive through Virgin holidays sometimes is an alternative, you can book them further in advance.

Good luck.

Also look at Seat Guru website, it shows the good bad locations for seats on all airlines.
