Thanks! Im glad you found something good - we may end up driving to dc if this trend continues, we have before.... They hung around 89.00 for ages here, so seeing 131 now is scarry. Bleh....
yes, airtran will change the flight for you without penalties if they cancel and they should but you only get credit for future use if a price goes down and you have to use it within a year, SW credited my credit card the difference......that is much better than future use credit......all depends where your flying out I guess..........we don't usually use airtran except for a great deal to MCO so a year to use credit would not be for us.......its all a preference too, we tend to fly out west, SW does Vegas non stop, airtran does not, we fly to Colorado every fall, United is the only nonstop, airtran does not, we go to Cancun every June, using USA3000 nonstop, airtran has none, we do go to Florida a couple times a year, and SW has had the best flights/times/prices in the past two years............so just becareful, make sure you book and know your going to use the credit or its useless to get the credit for the better prices. SW has dropped their prices in the past 3 years for MCO, in June $49~$69 each way, from Pittsburgh, so keep a look out. I know some cities are always higher though...........we have $73 each way now for free dining in Sept from Pittsburgh to MCO using the ding15, not too bad since gas is $100 per gallon.
I hope everyone gets a great flight/time/price.........we rent a car, so magical express is of no use to us..................we only fly nonstop by the way..................
here is a cheer for everyone
if not, $73 each way, nonstop isn't too too bad.
What's with paying to choose your seat? The only 3 seats left together were the emergency exit and it was $20 extra!!! So I had to put DD across the aisle from one of us and DH in front. What I found out is that every middle seat was taken and aisle and windows throughout the plane were open. I usually asked for a window seat when flying alone but never the one in the middle.
Yes, i did try it and norfolk, but still thanks for reminding me to keep checking those cause that is not a bad drive at all and not "scarry" like driving to DC (in terms of worrying about hitting a MAJOR traffic jam and being late scarry...)
I get Dings from southwest and they fly out of Norfolk, nonstop. Parking is not bad at Newport News either. Last Sept, if you parked outside and not in the new parking deck.. it was $5 a day. I thought that was a great deal..especially with the gas prices.
If your fare goes down and you call for a credit and then it goes does again can you get another credit? Linda
