Airfare booked - phew!

KarenWDWCP · 05-31-2008

I just finished booking our airfare for our Free Dining 2008 trip! It ended up being $254 per person for nonstop from Boston to Orlando. Not the best rate I've ever gotten, but not too terrible considering the rate flights have been at lately!

I hate the airfare part of booking a trip so I will sleep easier now!

That's great to hear, it's always nice to get that one last part of a trip finalized.

Just two days ago I booked airfare for our December trip; $249 per person Detroit to Orlando nonstop. Not the best rate I've ever gotten either, but considering we're leaving early Sunday and coming back late on Saturday I didn't think it was too bad.

With the price of airfares these days, I would be very happy with that! Congratulations.

That is actually not bad. Airfare is really creeping up there. DH flys back and forth every week from Ft Myers to Detroit and it is quickly approaching 300.00 each way. Last year we used to find it consistently for 140.00.

Good to hear Karen- you can rest easy now thats done!!

dznygrl · 05-31-2008

Oh good I'm glad, that's always such a relief!

Now that you have the airfare and the resort selection out of the way, you can actually start to relax a little bit right?

jhayes1700 · 05-31-2008

I booked mine yesterday for 99 one way with southwest. I'll be there in september also.

Monique · 05-31-2008

WOW! I hope I can find airfares in these ranges when I can finally book mine for November. I'm waiting for SW to open their schedule which won't be until late June

Thats the scariest part of every trip.
Glad you were able to secure a decent fare.

That's a very good rate when you consider the times we are in. Now just remember the 15 dollars for the first checked bag!!!

I think that is only on American Airlines, all others charge you for the 2nd checked bag (I think)

I just booked my airfare for August to WDW too-from Hartford to Orlando on Delta-$334 per person, not direct flights

So NOT the best rate I've ever gotten, but it's the best I've seen in a LONG time-I've been pricing these flights for months-even Southwest keeps creeping up and I don't want to wait for dings because they will probably sell out before I get a chance to book.

jhayes1700 · 06-01-2008

Southwest looked like it creeped up a bit, but they have good sales if you wait. I wanted to wait because I thought i could get them at 80 but I was vetoed by the wife that DID NOT want to chance driving.

nicatene1 · 06-02-2008

I can't rest easy until my air is out of the way either!
I am so glad I booked mine when I did. I got it for $158. r/t from Phila. to Orlando....I just checked it is now $319 for the same flights.

timsha · 06-02-2008

Airfare is the first thing on my list to book (after I book a trip). I just want to get it over with. This last time, I was waiting for SWA to post the time for when we were going. Got good rates, and as the cost of fuel is just going up and up, I am glad we booked early.

angell1975 · 06-02-2008

It is such a relief to get that part of the trip booked! That sounds like a pretty good price considering how the prices keep going up. We got our airfare whenever Southwest opened up September and we got ours for $595 for 3 people. Now, the price is up to $846 for the same flights. It's unreal, but at least it is taken care of!
