Any thoughts on flying Delta out of BUF??

[riu girl]

I was just checking expedia and this is what I came up with:

Outbound Flight

Sat, Dec 16
8:30am Depart - Buffalo, NY (BUF)
10:41am Arrive - Atlanta, GA (ATL) Nonstop
Flight time: 2 hrs 11 min


Sat, Dec 16
12:00noon Depart - Atlanta, GA (ATL)

1:22pm Arrive - Tampa/St Petersb, FL (TPA) Nonstop
Flight time: 1 hr 22 min

Total Travel Time: 4 hrs 52 min


Return Flight


Sat, Jan 06
2:12pm Depart - Tampa/St Petersb, FL (TPA)

3:49pm Arrive - Atlanta, GA (ATL) Nonstop
Flight time: 1 hr 37 min


Sat, Jan 06
5:02pm Depart - Atlanta, GA (ATL)

7:02pm Arrive - Buffalo, NY (BUF) Nonstop
Flight time: 2 hrs 0 min

Total Travel Time: 4 hrs 50 min


Price Summary


Travellers Price


2 adults = CAD 252.00
2 children = CAD 252.00
Taxes and Fees = CAD 221.28
Service Fee = CAD 20.00

Total Price = CAD 745.28 (186.32 Average per person)

I am thinking that this is a fairly good price and wondering if I should book it. We will be spending the first week of our holiday 26 miles SW of MCO (at Orange Lake) and the second part of our holiday in Siesta Key (south of TPA) so it really doesn't matter if we fly into/out of MCO or TPA.

I'm thinking that I should maybe just go head and book this instead of waiting for SWA to release my dates and then be tied to my computer waiting for a DING that may or may not transpire for my dates.

But how is Delta doing financially? I feel very safe with SWAs financial situation. And I love the SWA flight staff.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

I would wait you have tonnes of time. Last Dec we didn't book until Oct. Even if you miss a Ding there are always the emailed specials and weekend sales on SW. Especially since your trip is so far away if there is a chance your dates could change you want the flexibility of SW to change.
