Not sure but the VS076 leaves Orlando 2 hours early! Also the VS075 was initially showing a 7 hour delay before being cancelled[?]

Yes but Half term covers about 3 weeks of Feb all over the country! Just because those were your 1/2 term dates doesnt mean it was the same in Scotland Wales Derbyshire etc etc etc........

I think you will find that the half term/full term breaks in England are now the same dates across the country.

It still does vary throughout the country, I'm at work in London at the moment and most of the kids were off last week, however, back home on the South Coast they are off this week.

As StevieBoy points out - there are still fluctuations. They are generally the same but can vary by up to a week depending on the local authority.

I live in Reading, and my children were off last week, I work in Surrey, where the local children are off this week. 13 miles from home to work and completely different half term patterns, all down to different local authorities and their term planning.

It kind of makes sense, not every descends on the airport at the same time, and the roads are quieter for 2 weeks instead of 1.
