I Cant Believe I Did This!!!
 I have been watching the fares for nonstop on NWA for several weeks for our trip in May. They went down a little bit..and what did I do...buy the tickets???? NOOOOOOOO!!! Me, being a smart traveller decided to wait!! I have plenty of time..maybe they will go down right??? Wellllll...I happened to check them today and can you believe they have gone up over 200.00 per person??!!!!!!!!!! I'm literally about to have a heart attack....! Do you think they will go back down...or am I really really in a pickle now????  |

Re: I Cant Believe I Did This!!!
You have a bit of time...hopefully there will be some sort of fare reduction....Usually when fares spike they come down so that the airline can call it a "sale".

Re: I Cant Believe I Did This!!!
go to clarkhoward.com and check the fares. He is this guy in Atlanta that is on the radio everyday telling people how to save money and not get taken advantage of through scams. He is awesome
Anyway, every day he lists the sales from every airline and their destinations. It might be goo to look there! Good luck.

Re: I Cant Believe I Did This!!!
I am having the same problem. I am taking a group down May 25th-June 1st. Since we just lost Independence Air in Knoxville, I am really worried. We usually fly delta, but it is 317 right now. I have to keep my groups cost down to $700 per person and right now we are $757 with that airfare.
I have read several times that if you wait until around the 60 day mark, they are lower.

Re: I Cant Believe I Did This!!!
If I lived in TN, I'd just drive the 9 hours to WDW (Of course, I'm driving from IL in 2 weeks, 2 days, 1 hour, and 12 minutes.)

Re: I Cant Believe I Did This!!!
That does stink. I had the same thing happen to me multiple times before my last trip. I would wait and then it would go up, but eventually it would also drop again. Just wait it out as long as you can.

Re: I Cant Believe I Did This!!!
I always buy my mother a trip to visit me for mothers day, she is in Orlando. I never buy that ticket before Valentines Day. Fear not they SHOULD go back down.
Though if DH is away this year, she will be visiting us at AKL!

Re: I Cant Believe I Did This!!!
Don't worry about it I think everyone has done this before, we all want the cheapest fare. But keep checking daily if not hourly. I got a great rate from Airtran last year but the deal was only on the website for like 30 minutes. I flew the whole family down for $49 per person and $79 for the return flight. You'll find a good deal but stay on it.

Re: I Cant Believe I Did This!!!
Have you tried Southwestairlines? They fly out of Nashville (not sure where you are). They often offer some pretty nice fares!

Re: I Cant Believe I Did This!!!
Keep trying! I was told that 24 hours before a flight, Continental opens up it's "preferred" seats, which have been saved for their frequent travelers... Not many businessmen are booking flights to Orlando, I bet! So even till the last minute, you might find a bargain!
