Hi folks,
We are planning to go to Florida exactly one year after last year (Nov 9-17 last year X Nov 9-20 this year). This year, though, we will only be doing 2 days of Disney parks and going on our first cruise with our 3 and 6 year old boys (unfortunately, not with Disney, WAY TOO EXPENSIVE).
I would like to find out from others their experience with airline ticket prices this year.
Last year we flew SouthWest (one stop on the way there and direct flight on the way back) for a bit less than 700.00 for the 4 of us.
This year, the cheapest I can get to my dates with AIRTRAN (with 2 very convenient direct flights, to be fair) is 1117.60 (close to 60% more). Also, with AirTran, we need to pay for any bags, so as we fly with car seat, booster and at least 2 checked in bags, this price would go easily to 1250.00.
Southwest this year is almost double the price of what we paid last year.
Are you guys experiencing the same (for those who fly every year)? Do you think prices will go lower from now to November? I'm not sure if I make the move and take the reservation now.
Thanks for any feedback and happy Canada Day,
Camilo
