Re: Airfare discounts?

I just checked our dates on Delta. It gave me $3400 for the 3 of us!!!!!! A 2 1/2 hour flight. That's almost what my Disney part of the trip costs!!! The rates better go down!

It's so hard waiting for the DINGS to come out for SW. Seems the really good fares are only offered when it's really close to the travel dates. When you can get one, they are great but then you don't always get the flight times you want. I always tend to stay on the safer side and just book it when the flights I want are available. Thru Hartford there are only 3 direct flights to Orlando a day, so I always just grab those. Good Luck!

You havent found a Ding yet? This is a nightmare. I do however have high hopes this will happen soon. My new delima.... My Mommom wants to ask my aunt if she wants to join us so I told her when Im ready to buy airfare make sure she has her $ or we will have to meet her there. I will not pass up another good ding. My going to WDW flight is $79. I can deal with that but I know I can beat $119 home. There have a $99 coming home but I would need to ready for ME at 5 am and that isnt happening.

We have the exact same problem!!! We would have to leave at 5am as well... I am NOT doing that! We have not had a ding anywhere close to our dates yet either- last sunday there were ding fares out of Hartford but they were either tue and thurs or vague dates that were far away from our actual dates... it sucks!

Tell me about it! I should have booked the ding for $59 when I seen it. I would have just lost a 1/2 of day but Im a super mom and would have made it work and then Madison would have been passed out from me pusshing her to the limit the whole time I do have hope. Im going to give it till 4-1 I think. No ding I will just get what I see but I am afraid that the actual fares that are not dings will be sold out if I wait till 4-1

I know.. I should have taken it when I seen it. To be honest they were $59 leaving at 11 am. I can get $79 leaving at 7 am so I wont miss a day but the hard part is getting fares on 5-26 that isnt over $119
