If you want suggestions, you have to tell people what sort of things
you like to do.

Uh-huh.

Better yet, try to get London - Orlando - New York - London all on one
ticket; you'd have to use a US airline. It would probably be structured
as a London-Orlando round trip with a stopover in New York, and the cost
might be very little different from a plain London-Orlando return --
*if* the latter is on the same fare basis, but it might not be. You
might phone some airlines and get some fare quotes.
I don't think you could do London - Orlando - Washington - New York -
London that way, but it wouldn't hurt to ask. If you want to visit
both Washington and New York and can't do that, the train is usually
the most convenient way between the cities, but flying may be easier
once you're already at an airport -- *if* that it's the *same* airport.
Bus (coach to you) is usually cheapest but definitely slower. I have no
information about current fares between the two cities by different modes.
A better newsgroup to discuss the air travel aspects would be rec.travel.air.
