Travel to Florida

With holidays to Florida so popular, there are always a variety of package deals on offer for Florida holidays from major UK airports including London, Birmingham, Manchester, Glasgow and Edinburgh.

However, you can make your own arrangements for a cheap holiday to Florida by putting together a flight and hotel yourself. You could also consider car hire in Florida and see more from Jacksonville to Tampa.

When to go to Florida

The peak season for cheap holidays to Florida revolves around school holidays so if you don't have children be sure to avoid busy school breaks as you're unlikely to find many good Florida holiday deals at those peak times. The weather is at its best in spring and autumn although there is always a chance of a drop of rain, so these are great times to find a cheap holiday to Florida. For an ideal combination of good weather and good value Florida deals try September, early March and late April.

What to do in Florida

If you're travelling with the family then the theme parks around Orlando will no doubt be the highlight of Florida holidays. Beach lovers should head for the Florida Keys where there is almost a Caribbean atmosphere and Gulf coast is also worth a visit with its warm waters and great beaches. A trip to the wilderness of the Everglades contrasts nicely with Palm Beach, a haven for designer goods. Miami itself has seen a wave of redevelopment especially of the waterfront so look out for lovely art deco hotels as well as fantastic nightlife with some exceedingly cool bars and clubs. Look out for new attractions at the big theme parks in 2012 and 2013 including Fantasyland at Disney!
