Fall is a great time to catch cheap flights to Orlando

| August 31, 2010 2:00 PM

The fall is a great time to visit Orlando - when the crowds have diminished thanks to school starting up again, and the temperatures are still warm, but not overwhelmingly hot. And the city puts on plenty of festivals and events to keep everyone entertained.

No matter if you have children or are on your own, there's plenty to do in Orlando between September and November, in and out of the theme parks. Find Orlando cheap flights for the events you want to catch using online travel companies like Travelocity.

And you don't necessarily have to spend an entire week of vacation in Orlando. Maybe you're only interested in a long weekend away. If so, make the most of any cheap flights to Orlando you can find by planning appropriately. Here are some of the events planned this fall.

September - Picture spending the day at New Smyrna Beach - about an hour east of Orlando - followed by an evening of tapping your fingers and toes to jazzy tunes, saxophone riffs and fabulous guitar solos. That's the New Smyrna Jazz Festival happening at the end of September. Visit www.nsbfla.com/ for date information and ticket pricing. And the east coast of Florida is not experiencing any issues from the oil spill, so you can relax about really enjoying the beach.

October and November - The Epcot International Food and Wine Festival is a huge event where foodies can sample foods from around the globe and sip wines and beers from Belgium, South Korea, Australia, Poland and many other countries. And not only do you get to sample so many different varieties from different cultural backgrounds, but you also can learn about wines, beers and the delicious foods from around the world.

Halloween - You and your family can celebrate in fun with Mickey or Shamu, pick your own pumpkins, or -- if the kids aren't around -- put yourself in the middle of those scary horror movies at Universal Studios' Halloween Horror Nights. If horror is your thing, this is the place to go.

November - Independent filmmakers descend on Orlando the first week of November for the Orlando film festival. You can view as many films as you can fit into your day -- all for free. And don't miss some of the parties also scheduled around the festival.

With so much to do, Orlando is not a place to skip over this fall season. Search for Orlando cheap flights now, and get your long weekend or week trip planned now.
