The last 3 years I have gotten weekend flights for March break in May and never saw anything less expensive. If I was willing to go weekdays you can find less expensive flights but this years opening fares out of Buffalo and Rochester were really high.Maybe when Southwest and Jet Blue open up there will be better fares. I did see flights under $350 out of Detroit to Orlando but we are going to LA next year for a change.,
I`ve been looking for LA for March too.... let me know if you do find anything!! Our plan is to fly into LA the Wednesday before March break, spend a few nights there, move to a Disney resort for a few days then a few nights in Vegas and fly out of Vegas the Saturday/Sunday after March break.
So the flights have just opened up for next year, but... the prices are really, really high! We would be paying almost 2/3 more for what we have paid 2 years ago. Do you think it is just the high gas prices or what? When do you begin to book? Do you think that the prices will go down later on? Thanks!
We too are from the 1000 Islands area. I just booked Direct Air from Plattsburg to Lakeland for January 25th for two weeks. They fly Saturdays and Wednesdays - direct. We paid $800.00 for the four of us. If I had booked their 50% off sale that just ended, it would have been $163.00 pp. My husband has flown out of Plattsburg and it's an easy drive, crossing at Ogdensburg and Plattsburg is a nice little airport with very cheap parking ($3 or $5/day).
If anyone went over March Break this year (2011) can I ask what you paid for airfare?
I'm only interested in knowing the pricing from either Halifax or Moncton
I'm trying to get an idea of what I can expect to pay....whether I should wait for a potential seat sale....or bite the bullet now and pay $600+ per person (although it is direct both ways ++++).
Thanks
Give it a few months ... the Summer will slow down ticket buying. A sale in July/Aug is likely.
When I bought my March 2010 tickets (March 16 to 29), I paid $329 from Halifax to MCO (taxes and fees in with Continental) ... I did so in December just 2 weeks before xmas, when people are busy buying other things.
