Crazy Airfares!!

[georgina]

In-laws used to live in Gainesville FL and we would visit them once a year. Nice small airport. Except when a thunderstorm shut them down for an entire day and we had to drive to Jacksonville to get home...

I've been reading along here over the past days. Not many comments from me. But, I have one question. What is your avatar? I've tried to figure it out. I can't make it bigger, you have that blocked. But I can't figure it out. Just wondering what it is.

It’s a kitten

It is adorable!

Ahhh, I see it now. Very cute. Thanks. For me, it's one of those optical illusions where you can't see it until you know what it is, then you can't not see it again.

Thanks, I'm not a cat person at all, but I liked this little warrior kitty.

The LA flight I have been tracking since September has gone from 1750 (4 people) to 2700.

Thanks to Capital One flight price predictor , I waited on their advice for a lower fare.

Cost me almost 1000.00 as of today.

Well now, you have an answer too .. "what's in your wallet?" ...
I am sorry about the price difference though - definitely disappointing.

Pricing out flights to go to WDW early November - $1100 from EWR to MCO, RT direct per person. And a lot of seats have already been booked.

Going to price out other airlines.

Edit: JetBlue

Wow! That's insanely high. What airline?

Maybe worth the drive to Chicago? $326 round trip, United, nonstop, Nov 8-15. Jet Blue, $365, 1 stop somewhere. (ETA, JFK)

Once you add bag check both ways (bag check a must), seat selection (yes, we want to select our seat), tax, it tacks on quite a bit. No to driving - it's a quick trip while my daughter has Thurs and Friday off school. A 13 hour drive is out of the question. Gas plus paying for parking at the airport, plus time makes it not an option. The times we need to fly out are popular times.

Need to fly direct. We are not very flexible, hence the high airfare.

Yeah, I see that now. Newark to MCO is $545, United. About $200 more than Chicago. Yikes!

 

[georgina]

I really can't complain too much since we moved from Pittsburgh to No. VA. Ten minutes from Reagan airport, we still have some non-stops to MCO, I used some American points to book to MCO in August, 8500 pts each way.

I've been very fortunate to find RT to Orlando for less than $300. I always fly out of LAX and lately have stuck with United.
I've flown in May 2021, Jan 2022, and I have flights booked for a USO/IOA trip in Sept. ($232.20) and Jan 2023.
That's for economy (not basic economy) so I do get to select my seat.

What's in your wallet?

A thousand fewer bucks. And just for that no big kahuna burger for you Samuel L. Jackson.

I thought it was “In and Out” we wanted to visit in CA?

It was a pulp Fiction reference. Jules, (Samuel L. Jackson who also does commercials for the card) eats Brett's big kahuna burger, drinks his drink, then then shoots him essentially denying him his last meal.

For me the CapOne flight price predictor has been worthless. We decided last June to cruise this July. So I put in the information in CapOne. At ONE point, they said "buy" and it was over $300 (I think in the $350 range), despite prices <$280 (although not on the airline I specified). Even when the flights were showing at $264 (I have the emails to prove it), they say "wait, don't buy quite yet". Because I was stalking airfare myself, we purchased at $292 on Delta. The lowest it had gotten was $275. It's now $540.
