I don't know if this will help anyone, but I received an email from American Airlines concerning their Fall Travel Sale. There are quite a few decent prices to and from Orlando.
Oooh, you got me so excited for a minute. Prices are still high out of Dallas ($340.00) but I have to admit this sale sure beats the birthday sale Southwest is having right now ($409.00). Plus the American flight is nonstop, where as Southwest can not fly nonstop to Orlando because of the Wright ammendment. I don't know what to do. I've never paid even close to $300.00 to fly to Orlando. My tickets this past May were $148.00, as were my tickets for my upcoming Sept trip and this past Feb I found them for $260.00, which I thought was high compared to what I usually pay. Lord I wish Air Tran would come back to Dallas. I sure miss their low fares. I still need airfare for our Oct/Nov trip. Airfare out of Dallas has almost doubled just since last Nov when Air Tran pulled out. I go to WDW several times a year and have always been able to find airfare in the $148.00-$198.00 range, up until now.
I know how you feel. This is unbelievable. Baltimore to Orlando with SWA (unless we want to get up at 3am) is over $330.00 roundtrip for a nonstop. We are actually rethinking our fall trip.
