Can't believe these airfares!!

[TrudyZ]

Haven't been able to find any good sales out of Detroit to either MCO or TPA for October (10-20). I prefer non-stop since we are traveling with a toddler--but would be willing to endure a short layover for the great fare prices you guys have been getting. Am I missing something? Travelgoddess, you're from MI, anything out there yet?

Thank to all! I just got off the phone with US Air and they issued a voucher for $108.00. The girl I spoke to was really very nice and knew what I wanted before I even asked. She made all the adjustments and said the only thing I had to remember was that when I used the vouchers I had to call for reservations. I guess you can't book on the internet and use the vouchers. (But I found the prices to be almost the same anyway, since I had gone through US Air's web site) By the way, the vouchers are good for 2 years.

Anyway, thanks to all of you who told me how to do this!

Thanks for sharing your experience...

I did end up getting the new price. A very nice customer service rep made a one time exception to the non-refundable rule and stayed on the line while I rebooked new tickets on-line at the new price. She then cancelled the old ones and refunded our money. I was very grateful. I guess it all depends on who you talk to.

If anyone else is having these kinds of problems, don't give up!

I paid $265/person for our flights from PVD to MCO. I had seen it as low as $245 on Delta's website ($255 at the same time on Travelocity) and then it went up. The same flights are at over $300 now. The thing is...we go on Thanksgiving Day, and we take specific, non-stop flights, so we pay whatever we need to pay. I do keep checking, but have not seen anything lower.

At least I know what to do if I do see it lower.

I got vouchers from US Air for our December flight from Grand Rapids to MCO less than an hour ago but mine are only good for 1 year - the rep was very specific to let me know that so good for you Peg. Wish I had read this before I made the call but will read the fine print when they arrive an maybe they will be for 2 years also.

I never realized there were so many DIS'ers that live in RI. Maybe we should form a local chapter or something!!!

I had the same thing happen as one of the previous posters...I purchased my tix on Southwest Air through my TA last Friday after doing all the research myself. On Tuesday, Southwest came out with lower fares for the exact flights (or more specifically, our return flight). It was only $11 less per ticket, but with 6 of us flying, that's a Hoop de doo ticket and a half! I emailed my TA (my SIL) and she talked with SWA. They told her they would issue me a credit on my credit card AFTER we had completed our travel. (just as they told the previous poster) I'm glad I read it here too. At least we have two people telling the same thing to two different people. I'll keep watching those fares to drop more!
Don't you just LOVE these boards! I'm addicted!
