couple ?'s about going in may, and airport?

[kelkel03]

sorry just a few questions, how is the weather at the end of may, and the crowds?, also wondering about booking airline tickets online with southwest, is there anything i need to know, any catches or anything?, i found return airfare in may for 934.00, with tax and fee in, but wondering if there are any other charges, i should be aware of?, also does buffalo have a park and fly kinda of thing, sorry for all the questions, any help would be great

First off... WELCOME!!!

Weather is hot (30-35°C)
Crowds are increasing (usually between 6's and 8's according to Touring Plans dot com)
Return airfare for one person at $934 is absurd. I'm from Alberta and don't have the luxury of driving across the border to fly but I hear flying out of Buffalo is definitely the way to go. I usually pay between $500 and $600 return for one seat. I've seen as low as $350/seat flying out of Calgary.
In terms of a park and fly at Buffalo I'll have to let someone from your neck of the woods answer that one.

6 & 8 refer to a number out of 10 that indicate a parks busy-ness. The numbers are based around touringplans.com

I just booked flights last night with southwest out of buffalo to orlando. 200.00 us per person including tax. We had some southwest credits so it was 150 per person!!
We went a few years ago May long weekend and it's HOT and HUMID...people were using the spray bottles everywhere!! It's also star wars weekends starting may 20th so every weekend for 3-4 weeks it's star wars weekends at Hollywood studios.
That's why we are going at that time, I am taking my son and my cousin for the may long weekend. We want to try the new star tours ride.
Parking at the buffalo airport is cheap and easy, the airport is so small you just park and a shuttle bus is waiting for you and takes you right to the door.
Go to the buffalo airport website and you can print off a coupon for parking.
It's definitely worth flying out of buffalo. My husband and I are flying down the first week of april and our 2 flights out of toronto at 800 dollars on air canada!!
Enjoy!!
