Worth it, because

- £97 per person below the typical fare on this route
- Lowest in 30 days on this route
The catch: Hold luggage, seat selection and any resort fee are extra: they are not in the total.
Worth it with kids who are up for long days; skip it if you want quiet.

Why now
At $118 per person, this fare is $129 below the typical fare on this route. That typical fare is $247 per person, based on our earlier checks, so the gap is 52%. The fare also carries the Lowest in 30 days badge: across the 12 offers we saw, prices ran from $118 to $291 per person. That's $236 for two, all-in with taxes and fees as of when we checked, and it can change. Add $243 for three nights at the best-value hotel and $780 for spending, and our budget estimate comes to $1,259 for two. Late November brings highs of 68–74°F and lows near 54°F, so long park days feel comfortable. You also skip the hot, stormy summer afternoons and the summer's longest lines. It's a short hop that makes a good theme-park long weekend.
The kind of trip this is
This is a theme-park long weekend built around Disney, Universal and Epic Universe, with outlet shopping and nightlife on the side. It suits a couple or two friends who want full park days and easy evenings, and the pace is as fast as you make it. The flight out is 70 minutes and there's no time change, so you lose almost nothing to travel and get two full days in the parks.
