For those of your with young-ish children (pre teen).
Do you send your children straight back to school after returning from Orlando? Or do you try and fix dates so you are back a few days before return or go during middle of longer summer hols so they have plenty of time etc?
I ask because if we do manage to book local, direct flights, there is only one flight per week. This would mean us returning the day before the children return to school next September (we would arrive back about 06.00 and be home by about 07.00 if we don't have any delays with baggage etc). Return to school next day.
I am concerned this is going to be an issue for them with jetlag. They will only have 3 days at school that week (so not a full week). I know it takes on average 3-4 days to recover properly, so if we accounted for this we'd have to fly from, probably, Manchester and return back the Friday before, back in UK early hours Sat am then 3 hour drive back home.
We have a little while to decide, but flights for local airport are released in about 2.5-3 months, so we'll have to have worked it out by now. Other slight issue is part of our party wants to fly direct from local airport, isn't interested in flying from Manchester due to drive .
