Are we too late?

[tsouth]

Hi:

It is December and we are going on DCL for 2 cruises back to back in April. I keep checking flight prices out of Buffalo and the prices are really high for our time period.

Are we too late for our typical fares? We usually get 3 people for less than $600 total US to Orlando. We are now running at $1000. Should I wait or will they get higher?

Toronto to Orlando is too expensive as the flight home is limited.
Advice please.

Thanks...Tracey

I don't think you're too late. Wait until January. I usually notice I get my best fares 3-4 months out. Your other option is booking with an airline that will credit you back the difference if fares go down. I know that Alaska Airlines out here does that for us.

What are your dates of travel? I wouldn't limit your flights to Buffalo.

I'm Tracey with a E also!! Hmmmmm, not sure I agree with the post saying to wait. I Have NEVER seen Orlando flight prices drop closer to travel dates, especially when you are flying at a holiday (Easter) period. I'd be more concerned that the flight sells out and you miss the chance to get the flights you want - and it doesn't sound like you can be that flexible.

Out of Buffalo, try Airtrans and Southwest. JetBlue is best but their prices went up huge this year! I agree you will not find a deal in Canada - you can try Airtransat or Sunquest but with Pearson taxes, I am sure it will be $600+ (taxes are almost $300 of that).

If you see a $400 out of Buffalo GRAB IT! That's the lowest I've seen direct on weekends (we're going March Break and are paying that)!!

Jetblue will give you a credit if prices go down, but it remains a credit for a future jetblue flight. they did that for me when the price dropped on my late feb/early mar 2011 trip. book now and take the credit for your next trip if it goes down.

The lowest fares out of Buffalo are $230 return with taxes on Delta and include 1 stop.

We booked our return leg as it is the most important. As we will be driving from Ontario and then taking our flight, we opted for a direct flight on Southwest. Hopefully, if the prices come down, we can apply it to our departing flight. If not, oh well. That's life.

Thank you for your advice.
