The cheapest time to fly to Orlando is typically during the low seasons - mid-January to early March and late August through early November. These months avoid school holidays and peak travel times, which helps keep fares down.

Midweek flights (especially Tuesdays and Wednesdays) also tend to be cheaper than weekends. If you're flexible with your dates and can fly outside of major holidays, you'll have a better chance of grabbing a deal.
