Question Re Fare Price Increase
Hello
I was looking at an indirect flight yesterday from London to Orlando via Atlanta and return from Orlando to London via Miami. Timeline was outward on 11 Feb 2021 with return from US on 21 Feb and class was Upper (or Delta One if code share)
Any reason why overnight this Z class fare has suddenly increased significantly in cost.
Load check shows no change in availability
For a family of 3 it is suddenly now £2.5k more expensive in total and it still shows as a Z class fare
Appreciate any advice

Try pricing it for a party of 2 and then a party of 1. Chances are that there were 3 seats at the price you were looking at and someone bought one, two or three of them. Depending on how many that other person purchased, you may still be able to purchase one at the old price.
If not, just wait. 2021 is the distant future and I would not expect fares and schedules to stabilize until November.

Seems like short-term fare bargains

You didn’t ask for it but I’ll give my opinion anyways. I’d much rather fly direct in economy than stop in MIA and fly business. The only airline I know of that flies MCO-MIA is AA which are terrible at MCO, you may as well have backup plans for when your flight is delayed and they lose your bags.
ATL would be with DL and really isn’t that bad, hour hop to ATL and then connecting there is simple. The only downside is they’re not usually the cheapest, but the product is great.
VS economy really isn’t that bad at all, especially if they start flying the A350 to MCO. If you can save $2k per person and not connect it’s a win in my book.
