$198 RT next August on NWA, too risky?

Minneapolis to MCO, normally I would take it, does anyone think its too risky now?

Hope not...I'm looking at booking Song in late Nov for Oct '06!!!!

If you are sure of your plans that far in advance I think making the purchase now would be fine and not at a bad price at all! NWA will still be there and if not your ticket will surely be honored else where. Happy Disney planning!!

If you book flights this far out do not hang your hat on the times....they will change (probably several times) between now and then and the time changes may be significant....flight numbers are also likely to change.

I feel sure NWA will still be flying but they may have a lot of cutbacks that would change flight patterns significantly. I do not think buying this early is a bad thing, just be flexible and watch times/flights periodically in the interim.

Just bought 178 rt for december on NWA. Bought the 12$ trip insureance just incase but not worried one bit. just hope the times dont change to much

How did you get this rate for NWA out of MN. The chaeapest I've seen is 201.

Pay by credit card and you should not have a problem with any airline. Sure they'll change times, cancel flights and change all sorts of things during reorganization. But if you're taking an airline out of one of its critical hubs (Delta out of CVG or ATL or NWA out od DTW or MSP) I wouldn't worry. You'll get there.

I have Delta and Song flights booked for next weekend, Columbus Day and next February, and fully expect to book them again for April (if we travel anywhere) and next October.

It was never listed on any of the expedia type sites but if you went direct to NWA.com and looked it was there. Stayed for about a week, last check it was up to 225. Had to take it, no choice. As most out of MSP know anything under 250 you look at real hard and anything under 200 you grab as fast as you can.
