Airfare in October

[disney0210]

I'm waiting for the Oct 12 flight from MCO to BUF to come down, but it's only been going up. Even Southwest has the lowest at $129, which is still a bit high.

Do you think it's still going to come down or should I bite now?

That's a holiday Monday for both us and Americans (it's their Columbus Day). I suspect that the flights might not be cheap that day.

Sorry to say, but I think you may have missed out on the lowest that that particular fare would have gone. In mid May, that Monday was at $59pp! We ended up booking the Monday prior though, Oct 5th, at $59pp.
Like cdnmickeylover said, since that is Columbus Day, I dont know if they will drop the price again but you never know! Just keep an eye out for DING's throughout the summer!

Have you checked AirTran??? Their fares have been lower than SW for a while now. I'm also dancing around those same dates.

We booked our flights on May 15th...

$660 USD for all 4 of us, return (and direct) flying AirTran and JetBlue - that even includes pre-assigned seats. With JetBlue we even opted for the seats with more leg room (we're a tall family). So we did well in terms of pricing, even though we're using two different charters.

Book now!!!! If your days are in stone.....Airtran has Oct 12th at $59pp once again!!!!! Dont think it gets much lower than that

Keep checking often....if not Airtran, SW should have a DING or another "summer sale".

Will do. I noticed you said BUF - MCO and I was really looking at MCO -BUF for Oct 12th. I was able to get the departing flight at $59 thru SW, it`s just the coming back that`s still kinda high.

I went back and looked at Airtrans website and I think I did price BUF - MCO and not the other way around :x SORRY!!!! So, you didnt miss any fare deals!!! Fear not though, still plenty of time to drop
We are in the same situation for Oct 18, but leaving from Fort Lauderdale back to BUF.

Sunday, October 18th (AIRTRAN)
Non-Stop, pre-selected seats.
Depart (BUF): 12:12PM
Arrive (MCO): 2:51PM
$302.40 for the 4 of us, all inclusive.

Wednesday, October 28th (JETBLUE)
Non-Stop, pre-selected seats, extra leg room seats.
Depart (MCO): 4:14PM
Arrive (BUF): 6:49PM

Would would have loved to fly JetBlue to MCO, but their only direct flight was at 7AM - and it was more expensive.

In the end we're happy with our prices!
