There are two main international airports in Florida that you will likely fly into if coming direct from the UK, Miami and Orlando. There are a couple of airlines flying direct, including British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, American Airlines and TUI, with the later flying from a number of regional airports like Glasgow, Birmingham and Bristol once a week during the summer months. The flight time from London to Orlando is around 9 hours 15 minutes. While it's easy to book your flight separately, it is recommended to book an ABTA or ATOL protected flight and hotel package for your financial protection and to save money. You can often find great deals when booking together.
If you're flying into Miami and plan to just spend time in the city, or a few nights before heading out on a cruise to the Caribbean, you can easily get into the city by bus or taxi, but otherwise a hire car is probably a good choice. You'll no doubt want to explore whichever area you've arrived and you'll definitely want to drive about if you're escaping the city. For reference, a couple of average driving times in Florida are:
Orlando to Tampa - 2 hours
Orlando to Miami - 3 hours 30 minutes
Miami to Fort Lauderdale - 45 minutes
Miami to Fort Myers - 2 hours 30 minutes
Miami to Key West - 4 hours 30 minutes
