I booked our flights!

I booked our flights this afternoon so I guess our trip really is going to happen. I got $65 each way on SWA, I think I did all right.


I hate to fly, I hate to fly, I hate to fly!

Re: I booked our flights!

I need to keep telling myself that I love to fly. I have 70 days to believe it, I'm not sure that's enough time.

Re: I booked our flights!

Ah, flying's nothing to worry about. You'll be fine. Matter of fact, I am probably going to wish I were flying in September rather than driving. But, a 7 hour drive isn't too bad.

Great Steph!!! SWA is so friendly. No need to be worried. They are the best airline in business today. Just remember, you are heading to a great place and your son will be sooooo excited to celebrate his B-day at his favorite place.

Have fun!!

Re: I booked our flights!

Congrats on the great fare!!! DT I'm not a big fan of flying either, but it gets me to WDW faster than driving would and that means more time to play. I'm sure everything will be fine and just enjoy your son's excitement.

Re: I booked our flights!

DT... Great deal... Now for the flight... You need to look up the statistics on HOW SAFE flying is and don't watch any footage of Airplane Crashes, but why do Airplane Wrecks freak us out and Car Accidents don't phase us... I mean I never see anyone questioning if they will get in a car again after seeing a major accident???

You will be fine DT... The above comments where in general... I think we all question flying after seeing a major plane crash...why is that???

Re: I booked our flights!

Thanks for sharing my excitement. I've been waiting for cheap fares to come out all month and I was starting to think maybe they wouldn't. I'm still a little worried that we may have a snow day but the chances are getting slimmer each day.

I know flying is safe, it's just giving up total control in a situation that I have a hard time with. Getting to Orlando in 2 hours is so much better than a 17 hour drive.

Nathan is going to be even more excited when he finds out he's flying. I think we'll wait to tell him until we get to the airport. We'll have to leave home pretty early in the morning but we'll just tell him we're going some place for the day. He'll buy that easily since we do it all the time.
