...recommended airlines from the UK and also for internal flights from Orlando to New York

First timer..orlando to new york!

Lots of questions.

Accomodation in Orlando - the choice is endless, from budget (quality inn, rodeway inn etc) through to Universal and Disney hotels, Marriott etc etc. No end of villas to rent. Suggest you decide on what you want (area and cost ) and then look at various web sites to choose exactly where.

Villas tend to be in Davenport / Kissimme area so near to Disney. Lots of hotels on Int`l Drive ( 25 mins to Disney, 15 mins to Universal) and Lake Buena Vista ( again nr Disney ). All the major chains have properties in these areas.

Airlines - a lot depends on availability as direct non stop flights get booked quickly. We`ve found BA and Virgin to be good. Plenty of Internal flights to New York e.g. Delta, American Airlines. Again, depends on what flight times you can get to coincide with flight home from New York.

Tampa - Busch Gardens worth a visit ( 1.5 hrs from Orlando). There are some lovely beaches in this area. Some resorts are built up e.g. St Petes, some are more relaxed and not built up e.g. Anna Maria Island.
