For Beverly Lynn: Rate negotiations

[scrappinmom_2000]

Hi Beverly Lynn, I really appreciate your board support & informative posts.

I have a "fare tracker" on my start-up page that posts rates to my dream destinations (Orlando included). I notice select "discount" fares run thru Dec. 12th. Do you know yet when rate negotiations will occur to include the next season? I'm looking to book for a mid-January trip. Thank you:)

You could find a sale fare for anywhere up to 330 days out so it pays to check daily...I got my $100 RT from MSP-MCO in mid-Feb 2002 last week.
Most of them are for the next 2-4 months only...so you will begin to see more sales for your time period in the next month right up until after Thanksgiving.

for jan as long as the travel is after the 1-3 rd of the month will be out in oct/nov/dec. you can buy it now but it would more than likely be at a higher rate. the sales for that time frame are not out yet. for instance for jan from pit to mco its 204.50 if I wait until nov or so it will go as low as 98-168.50. so its senseless for me to buy it now. the same with Feb. I check a lot during the day every day. I have 10 different fare trackers. plus the 25 different travel bulletins that I receive.
