Advice on when to book our flight on Delta?

[maryj11]

We need a flight for November 21 MCO to CVG non stop, right now it’s 244. We want non stop in the morning and want Delta. For anyone with experience with these airports and Delta prices should we wait for it to go lower? I know it’s a gamble! We already have a flight down.

That is not a bad rate for Delta. A few months in advance of a flight is historically the best time.

If you want to travel at a specific time of day on a non-stop flight, I would book them now. There are only a limited number of seats in the lowest priced category and once those are sold, the price will jump to the next higher rate. Orlando is a popular vacation destination year-round, so it isn't like Delta needs to run a sale to fill up the seats traveling to/from some little used location. Sales are more likely to be offered in less traveled markets and you can't generalize how it works for every destination.

You think 244 is high for one way non stop? Round trip is 417 right now. We already have flight down. I guess I haven’t booked a flight in several years so it seems high to me.
