Airfare rates in March? Help Pls!

[petsaregreat]

Hello!
We are going to Disney next March (on March Break) and wondering about the cost of airfare. Can anyone give me an idea of how much flights are from Buffalo to MCO in March? This year we flew Hamilton to MCO but flights were very expensive. Wondering if Buffalo will be any cheaper? We are going in August and got $99 flights on Air Tran. I am hoping someone will tell me that is the usual cost. Thanks!

We paid the most this year for March Break flights.And we flew a week before MB. We paid $240.00 return times 4. The year before we paid $923.00 from Niagara Falls Ny. I think a $1050 the year before that.

We just flew BUF to MCO through Southwest over March Break. The flights down on the first Saturday of March break cost $130 each. I bought those the day they went on sale and, while the prices continued to fluctuate, I didn't see many days where they went too far below that (but someone else might have more accurate info). For the way home, the weekend flights were quite expensive so we flew home on the Tuesday after March Break for $100 each. The price of that flight also went up and down but I find it too stressful to wait on purchasing my flights in the hopes that prices fall!

We also purchased the Early Bird Check-in option for the way there and back which means that, all told, it cost our family of 4 just over $1400 to get to Orlando and back.

Ok so West Jet is $500 return for march break. Can I confirm then that it is significantly cheaper to fly out of Buffalo?
Thanks!

Ths past March break I paid $410 return Tor to MCO. This summer I am flying out of Buffalo on Southwest for $200 return. Air Canada had some flights for around $400 for March break /14 but they have jumped up quite a bit. Westjet has not released all of March yet. For Canadian flights you have to book as soon as able as they go up very fast.

Ok so you think that I can get flights out of Buffalo at march break for less then $500 round trip??

I would be very surprised if you didnt. We have done March Break the last 4 years. 3 out of buffalo and 1 out of Niagara Falls NY. I wouldnt be going if they cost me $500 each. I would drive first.

The key really is being up to date on Southwest's release dates so you can book the day the schedule is available. You can find that at the bottom of the main page of its website, under Travel Tools.
