Adding another destination to the cavalcade of cheap nonstop flights between London and the United States, Virgin Atlantic has put an astonishing €301 (~£261) price tag on Gatwick to Orlando roundtrips. This fare does not include checked bags, but full board service from one of Europe’s long haul specialists. Oneworld member British Airways has already matched the price.
Virgin Atlantic operates a Boeing 747-400 between Gatwick in Orlando. These aircrafts feature a 3-4-3 seating in Economy. British Airways uses the same seating pattern, but onboard a Boeing 777, leading to narrower seats.

Information & Tips for USA
The United States offers a wide range of tourist sights, from national parks like Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon to cities such as New York, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C. The currency is the U.S. dollar (USD), and card payments are widely accepted. Prices vary by region but can be high in major cities, especially for accommodation and dining. Weather differs greatly across the country—winters can be harsh in the north, while the south often stays mild; summers are generally hot and humid in many areas.
The U.S. transport infrastructure is highly car-dependent, especially outside major cities. Urban centres like New York, Chicago, and San Francisco have functional public transit, but many other cities have limited options. Between cities, domestic flights are common for long distances, while intercity buses and Amtrak trains cover some routes, though often with slower speeds and less frequency compared to other countries. Without a car, getting around can be inconvenient in many parts of the country.
