Wish I could get $300 airfare from Dallas...

We are flying out of Manchester also. Our tickets were around 269.00 each non-stop alot more than I have paid in the past. But I have to admit in the past I have gotten some super cheap raters threw SW.

These are excellent prices in this days market

Just booked for 256.00 roundtrip from Islip...so glad they finally opened up the bookings!!! We are all set now to attend MVMCP for the first time

I got so impatient waiting for SW to open up.. I ended up buying Delta for $239 each Boston to Orlando direct. I still think I did okay and now that I am booked, I am not going to look at prices until I start booking for March (I don't want to be kicking myself)

I purchased my tickets for my Dec trip on Southwest today too - Also flying out of Manchester NH. So excited - have all our reservations booked, looking forward to stay one night in a 1 bedroom in the Jambo House and 7 nights in a 3 bed at OKW! Most excited for being with my daughters as they live the Disney Magic! Last year our one daughter was 10 weeks - this year should be so much more fun!

Did the same thing at the crack of dawn today, leaving ISP. If there's any way to avoid flying out of JFK or LGA, you do it!

$128 each way is a great thing. I work for an airline and can get RT standby on other carriers for about $35, but there's no way I'm risking it on such a trip. Would rather pay the $1,000 and know that I, along with everyone else and our bags, are making it there.

We have flown into MCO mutliple times standby. It's doable. You just have to be flexible. I don't think I could ever bring myself to buy tickets if I didin't have too.

I've been waiting for SWA to open up their calendar as well...however flights from Denver are SKY high so I didn't jump on trying to change our tickets. Just FYI..SWA has their anniversary sale every June. I spoke to a SWA during my recently ticket purchase debacle (long story) and she told me to expect the sale again this year mid-end of June. I've heard the prices are the lowest during this sale. I sure hope so..only have half our trip booked and need to change outbound and purchase return (again)

I also didn't book our flights today because SW usually has sales and the prices will go down. We just have to keep an eye.

Ooh! That would be great!!! I'll keep an eye out as we are planning on booking a BB trip for October and would love for the airfare to come down a little bit. We too fly out of Manchester, NH. Our airfare for our trip next month was $1204.40 for four of us...

Thank you so much for your post. We made our resort reservations on Saturday for December, and went to Southwest to make the flights and no go. I thought we'd have to wait a while longer, but I saw your post.

Sat to Sun, 8 nights, 3 kids including a 5 month old. I'm daring but not that daring!

We've had our flight to Orlando booked for a while now, but couldn't book a flight back because they weren't open, but that's ok because I wanted to wait until June anyway because if the price goes down and I end up with a credit, I already know I wouldn't be able to use it before June of next year, so I was waiting until we were within the 1 year window.

We got tix for our December visit through AirTran. $110 each way from Rochester, NY to MCO non stop. We paid much more on our trip this April.

Agreed, ended up paying $420 r/t pp this morning and the Wanna Get Away fares have already gone up as people buy during the day... glad I booked early and have a companion pass.

Does anyone know if prices do go down with Southwest if they offer a voucher or anything for the difference? I bought now because prices seemed pretty good $140 each way (have been checking the fare calendar - yes I am a compulsive planner) Trying to keep on budget (bringing MIL for first trip and My Mom for one of her last, yes you read that right!) But I am already trying to keep next years trip budget in mind.....
