A little pixie dust PLEASE.

We are waiting for airfare to come down. Currently, the cost is an unbelievable $700.00 to $800.00 per person!! I found one flight with NWA that came to 560.00 but there were only 2 seats available (we need 3 seats). The other problem with the NWA flight was that it involved 3 planes we would have had to leave our airport @ 6 AM & arrive @ Orlando @ 10 pm. I need a little good luck thrown my way! I am just playing the waiting game right now. I guess it's all I can do. If any of you have any extra pixie dust, please throw it my way.

I am sprinkling some for you right now. I hope the good kharma works out for me, too, for when I book my flights for November.

Thanks, we should share the pixie dust so we both can get a deal.

Re: A little pixie dust PLEASE.

I'll keep fingers crossed for you, too. Airfares are unbelievable these days. I hope it isn't a sign of what to expect from now on. Good luck!

Yep, way too much! We discussed it this weekend, & if the cost does not come down before the final payments are due, we may have to cancel. I need a seat sale!!

Re: A little pixie dust PLEASE.

I had the opposite happen where I based a trip this Aug on great flight prices in March (I've never planned a trip that far in advance). So now we missed out on the free dining which is available 4 days after we leave! Pooh!

Try the website. When airfares are low, we'll let you know!

Would you consider driving to get on a flight? That might be your best bet. Pixie Dust and Prayers to you.
