How to Find Cheap Flights to Orlando for a Disney World Trip

For many families, the flight to Orlando International Airport (MCO) is one of the largest costs of a Disney World trip, and it moves on its own schedule, independent of any resort or ticket promotion. Shopping for the airfare separately, and watching it over time, is often where the biggest remaining savings are.

Tips for lowering the airfare

•
Be flexible on dates: shifting your trip by a day or two, or flying midweek, can change the fare more than almost anything else.
•
Compare nearby airports: check more than one departure airport near you, and compare MCO with other Florida airports if the driving works for your family.
•
Avoid peak travel days: school breaks and holiday weekends tend to be the most expensive times to fly.
•
Learn what normal looks like: check your route a few times so you can recognize a genuinely low fare.
•
Set alerts: fares change throughout the day, so alerts beat checking manually.

Pair flight savings with Disney savings

The airfare and the Disney package are separate line items, so the savings stack. Read our guides to Disney World discounts and free dining and booking a package versus booking separately, and see how mistake fares occasionally cut flight prices sharply.
