Flight prices so LOW!

[brockash]

I really need some advice on flying. I'm going to WDW in October and was wondering if I should go ahead and book a flight now since the prices are so low or should hold off. Also, is there a recommended airline that is the best? I'm flying from Pensacola, FL to Orlando MCO and not a flyer so don't know much about it. How do I book where I can get my money back if possible?

I'd book now if you're good with the prices. Southwest is nice ccause you can rebook if prices go lower and keep the credit. Otherwise any major airline should be fine.

I just booked Boston to MCO for the fall at $44. If I wanted Basic Economy it was $29!

WHAAAAT??? I've been stalking flights from BOS to MCO for September and they are over $600/person round trip at this point.

THANK YOU to everyone on this thread!! After reading this, I chatted JetBlue and they (within 10 minutes) got back to me. I asked to cancel my flights due to corona virus (for travel 5/2-5/8). They were booked 3/3 (long story as they were technically booked way before that but i changed them due to JetBlue changing my flight times). Anyways - they didn't even haggle with me, just said we'll cancel the flights, put your points back in your account and put the taxes/fees into a travel bank for you. Rep was very nice and polite about everything. At the end I told her good luck dealing with all this mess as I'm sure her job is super stressful right now. Kind words can go a long way!

I then rebooked my trip for $41/each way (using points of course!) and even got a seat for my 1 year old instead of doing lap infant (at this price - totally worth it to have the row to ourselves).

Now just need to hope and pray that everything calms down and we can still travel in early May. Otherwise I'm out 11,000 points!

This was for JetBlue? I've been pretty worried because our May flights were booked on TrueBlue points. It would be a massive relief if I could get those back in my account.

Yes, put all the points back into my account. The agent told me they were told to use their discretion.
