Ref discussion about flights to Orlando, things have sure changed from a few of years ago when there were at least 2 direct flights a week in the peak from Aldergrove, even if some of them originated elsewhere. I recall flying one March with Airtours (DC10 out, B767 back) with passengers who had boarded at Manchester.

Anyway Aaron9890 speculated that Florida bound passengers for Orlando are now going via Great Britain. I suspect this is not the case and they are driving to Dublin for the Aer Lingus scheduled flight to Orlando. While some might thing the car or express bus to Dublin is inconvenient, the EI flight goes to Orlando International which considerably reduces the time taken to get to the resorts in Orlando compared to charter flights into Sanford.
