Airfare discounts?

tinkerbelle24 · 03-13-2008

Does anyone have or know a promo code for SWA or Airtran? I cant find cheap airfare from Orlando to Phil on May 26 I was hoping for a ding but nothing as of today and Im getting a little nervous. I do have $208 credit but need that for my air going to disney... Any suggestions please help. I want to make this airfare as cheap as poss because I may add my mommom to come with us and I wanted to pay for her air as well.. Thanks..

You will know of a fare sale before most with your DING. You are advised of it before the masses.... airtran isn't going to be less than what SWA ding is. You shoud just start researching your prices now and grab the lowest price you can find.

I know.. I should have sone that last week when I seen the ding for $59 but it was to leave Phila at 11 am and I wanted to leave at 7 am. Now I regret it

That was a great fare! Sorry you passed it up but don't give up hope, it may come around again. I don't know of any codes, keep checking the DINGs and the emails. I seem to be getting email specials every few days so there's hope.

Good luck in finding good airfares. In fact, I've been researching for August, and Southwest was more expensive than United. (Although both were still too high.) Never seen that before.

Thanks guys! I need to stay on top of it. I did get some Dings today and I DONT want to go to Pittsburg!!

Im getting really frustrated too- I dont know why they are discounting all of the dates around mine but not our return trip- They are still at $142 one way home! That is HIGH!!! Its lower to fly Mothers day weekend then the weekend after that!

inluvwithdisney · 03-14-2008

My frustration is right there too! Our ONE WAY ticket home right now is lowest $204

(Yes ONE WAY!!!)

We are considering staying over one extra night because the flights are soo much cheaper the next morning. But that means an extra night of hotel cost! But we should still save and that means an extra Disney Day!!!

Try Kayak.com or Farecast.com they are airline search engines!

that is what we were finding as well- Im tempted to book the next morning too so that we can save the $300 - it might be worth the move to a cheaper room yet again!

I've been watching fares for three different trips (two to WDW and one to NY). I'm not seeing anything come down. With the price of fuel going up, I think I'd be afraid to wait for another ding. Good luck!

I told Ed that I would wait one more week for a ding to hit and then if it does not Ill just book it- I hate doing that but it is what it is...

You can always do that and get a credit if a DING comes out, can't you? With DVC I'm sure you'll have plenty of opportunity to use that credit.

its just the difference of the upfront cost- We are talking for the family of 6 $900 one way!

Thats what Im doing.. Im going to wait 1 more week for a ding. If not Im booking what I see.

Actually, with the cost of flights right now, if they don't go down soon, we will most likely drive - Even at $4.00 a gallon, it would still be tremendously cheaper.
