I just purchased 5 RT nonstop from Manchester, NH to ORlando for $550!!! YEE HA!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mickey.....here we come!

Thank you so much for the heads-up!! Once again I didn't think our fare could drop any lower but I was wrong. We are now flying for a total of $446 and that's for 4 of us!! Did I say how much I love the DIS boards and SWA?!?

 

[NHBelle]

Will southwest give you a credit if the fares drop again? I am only asking becuase we are going Sept 26-Oct 5, so we would would get the great rate on the eay there, but not on the way back

 

[Luckymommyx2]

I've canceled and rebooked four times since I orginally booked in April. I have a total of $228 to use towards future flights but they do expire by 4-02-04. It's usually good from the time of your first booking. Needless to say I've booked non-refundable/internet special rates. Hope this helps...Good luck!

I was just coming to see why I could get my dates to work, now I know why.....grrrrrr! Sept 28 is the last date! I need it to be October 6

It's a great sale, though--$80 RT--out of Nashville

Ouch - I haven't booked my air yet for November - priced it out yesterday - @ $1330 for 7 tickets regular promotional price - it's been there for over a month.

Logged on this morning to see if they had a FL sale - plugged in the same dates and now it's $1880!! OUCH!

Guess I'll keep waiting - that Sept. sale looks awesome!

Upstate NY to Orlando is $49 one way.. Right now I'm looking at $110 Fun Fare for Dec. and was about to purchase the tickets this week..

After seeing that sale this morning I am SOOOOOOOO tempted to hold off for awhile longer.. If I buy the Fun Fare tickets this week the total cost for three will be $696...

Ugh! Decisions, decisions!!............ HELP!! What should I do?? Although I know they give you credit if you rebook, there's NO way that I could go again within in a year..

 

[mazzarafe]

I checked my dates for December this morning too and the price went from $934 to just over $1000 for 4 of us!

My promotional fare for our flight back went up $20 each and there has never been a promo fare for our flight down since they released the dates.

I'm holding out because I don't care for their flight time on my return but they seem to be edging closer to the cost for Delta that will give me extra time for the parks.

Ugghhh, I wish our favorite time of year to go wasn't Christmas season.

Yes, they will hold the credit for you for one year from the date of the first purchase.

I just rebooked, added a day to the vacation, added a day to the rental car and still saved 80.00.

CAnn check your dates for prices, the fares are supposed to be good until the end of their present schedule. Not only is it a FL sale it is a system wide sale.

 

[Sammy]

Madge....are your dates such that you can benefit from the sale at least one way? Good luck!

I can't believe the fares went down this low. I have been watching them for MONTHS!! We were originally planning on an early December trip this year, but these airfare prices are way too good to pass up. I know we'll miss the Christmas decorations, but hopefully we'll get back to WDW some year to experience them.

 

[denisenh]

Holy COW! Thats it! Terrorist or no terrorist, if my hubby can get off work I am booking a trip to Orlando! Thats is just too good a deal.
I am still too chicken to go alone with the kids though, LOL! I just called DH, he said he'd try. Yea!
Thanks for the FYI! I wouldn't have known otherwise!!

Shoot! Had to juggle the dates out way further than I wanted and then with the system-wide sale it would only save me a grand total of $39..

Guess I'll have to live dangerously and wait for another sale for my December dates..

 

[Lexxiefern]

I couldn't resist this deal! We are already going in October, but I convinced DH to go for a long weekend at the Swan!! We got 3 seats for $330 and we are going to try out the Swan for $99/night!! Yippee!!!

 

[hezzie]

I just rebooked and now have a credit of $224 to spend before next May. Hmm....we may just have to go back to Disney earlier than planned so that we don't lose that credit!

 

[Sammy]

just bumping in case anyone missed it!
