Best day for Trip departure for Airline deals?

[NikP]

What are the best days for travelling to WDW flying from Southern Ontario in order to keep options open and prices down? We are willing to fly from Toronto, Hamilton or Buffalo. We have always travelled Sunday to Sunday for work schedules. Now this is not necessary.

Can't say enough good things about Southwest, flying from Buffalo.

You pass through customs while driving. Makes everything move much quicker when you land.

If you look you can find plenty of reasonably priced non-stop flights. Midweek is best but we also found cheap ones on Sunday (night, no morning).

I couldn't agree more. The rates are substantially lower for all domestic air travel and when you leave out of BUF, that's exacty what you're doing...taking a domestic BUF to MCO flight.

Here's a perfect example. In November, our travel party was 4 adults and 1 infant (free). Our destination was Vancouver for a family gathering. The cheapest I could find in Canada was $1875 CAD return trip with Harmony Air and believe me, I checked all the options (ie. Hamilton - Abbotsford/Vancouver, London - Abbotsford/Van, Tor - Abbotsford/Van...etc).

Then I thought... ...how about BUF to Seattle and a rental car for the week to drive into Vancouver for our trip. BUF - SEA return trip with Southwest would have cost me only $850 USD and the rental for a week was booked at $200 USD (Mini-van) which is roughly the same deal we were getting in Vancouver, so the rental is a wash.

However, Canadian law prohibits Canadians from driving American-plated vehicles into our own country. Our friends to the south don't have a silly law like this and allow their tax-paying citizens to drive Canadian plated vehicles into the US. So, essentially, this law cost me about $850 CAD after the exchange is factored in.

Sorry to go off-topic there. The point is...fly out of BUF for any US trips. I got a pretty good deal flying Fri to Fri ($700 for 4 adult fares/ non-stop)
