Hello

I have to fly to Orlando for work in March. They wont fork out business class (although I am entitled to it !!) but premium economy is fine.

Any recommendations of which airline to go on ? I usually go BA, but Virgin seem like a good choice too. Would prefer to go from LHR but BA/Virgin go direct from LGW.

Hello

Virgin and BA are both good choices and not that much to seperate them (Virgin is slightly cheaper). I wouldn't recommend going with any of the American ones (AA, United etc..).

Delta and Continental both fly LHR to Orlando, but as Steve say's I wouldn't bother....

Stick with Virgin premium economy....

The difference between UC and PE in Virgin is like chalk and cheese - I would put some pressure on your company to give you what you are entitled to!

The Virgin 747s that fly out of LGW don't have the superb V:Port entertainment system or the leather seat upgrades in PE, but at least you get to sit in the bubble, which isolates you from cattle class!

If its direct to MCO then Virgin I would say, but BA have equal prices.
If you can fly local to say SFB then First Choice Star Class (aka economy) gives more leg room than both the above for the same class.

They also fly from LGW unfortunatly.

sorry, Virgin all the way.

BA can go and whistle

Be aware though that BA LGW to MCO is a 777.

Better make sure they put enough fuel onboard.....

Probably going to book Virgin, check in night before and stay over.

I went to SFO by Virgin and back by BA, business. TBH Virgin was nicer, but as Heathrow lost my bags Virgins lost baggage assistance sucked donkeys; better to go from Gatwick? Virgin PE seats didn't seem so much better than normal but up in the bubble. I had considered buying PE, glad I didn't - that much extra price for not much extra benefit, from what I could see.
