How We Flew From Orlando to Santorini for $200 Each

We flew from Orlando to Santorini in October 2026 for about $200 each. The trick was two separate flights: Norse Atlantic from Orlando to London Gatwick, then easyJet from Gatwick to Santorini, both found on Skyscanner. Here's the exact route and what to know before you book it.

What route did we take?

1. Orlando (MCO) to London Gatwick (LGW) on Norse Atlantic, a long-haul airline that flies across the Atlantic.
2. London Gatwick to Santorini (JTR) on easyJet.

Together the two flights came to about $200 each. Norse and easyJet are separate airlines, so these were two separate bookings, not one ticket.

How did we find it?

We use Skyscanner for every trip. We don't care which airline we fly, only that we get the best price, and it compares every airline in one search. That's where we found this Norse plus easyJet combination.

What should you know before booking two separate flights?

• Leave a long connection. With separate tickets, easyJet doesn't have to rebook you if your first flight is late. Give yourself plenty of buffer in London.
• Plan for bags. On separate bookings you may need to collect your bags and check them in again for the second flight.
• Check baggage rules for both airlines. Low fares usually don't include checked bags, so add what you need and compare the total.
• Check entry rules. Greece is in the Schengen Area. U.S. citizens don't need a visa for stays of up to 90 days in any 180-day period.

What did we do once we landed?

We picked up a rental car from Sixt for 167 euros (about $185) and based ourselves around Fira, our favorite town on the island. Read why we chose Fira over Oia, and see our full Santorini travel guide for where we ate, the catamaran cruise and real prices.
