Doing the unhappy flight dance!

[Pirate's Princess]

I'm so upset! I booked my flights awhile ago and checked flight prices. Jetblue had 89, Continental 59. When jetblue jumped to 109, I panicked and booked the continental (which is earlier but JB is so nice!), Now jb is at 59. What the junk?????

Ironically, now the continental flight is 89.

Flights are crazy they fluctuate so much, theres nothing worse than seeing the price go down AFTER youve booked it, But you know if you hadnt have booked it it would have only gone up

That's the thing. Last year we waited 48 hours to buy tickets--they went up $40 a piece

I feel this pain too. I ended up booking Airtran which I am VERY concerned about after the price went up $800 in 2 days!! I really wish that we were flying jet blue too. I am trying to focus on the fact that we have a booking and thats that! Good luck on your trip.

How soon before your trip did you book your flight??? We leave in 160 days and we have not yet booked our flight. This is the first time that we have our trip planned but not our flight . Granted this is the earliest we have booked our trip but I am very freaked out that we are not going to be able to get a flight . Right now a non-stop flight from Boston to Orlando is over $1000 (I won't do anything but a non-stop flight as I hate flying), my DH is telling me that we need to wait until at least January, but I'm worried that if we wait until then that all the flights for the end of April will be booked by then... uggggh.. the joy of going to Disney during spring break huh

I booked our AirTran flights well in advance for our December trip. When I went to book my DD on the same flight a few weeks later (she wasn't sure she could go with us) it jumped from $99 to $169 one way. She is flying down for $99 but has to pay $169 to come back on the same flight as us. She arrives two days after us due to finals.

You know, guys...if you book Jetblue and the price drops on that flight later, you can call and get them to credit the difference to your account (to be used within a year) for no charge. This is great if you plan on flying again within the year on that airline, but obviously, if this is a once-every-couple-years trip, it won't do you much good.

Flights from Des Moines Iowa to MCO are no less than $300 right now. We are taking 8!
