We are traveling to Orlando in December (around the 28th), should I book now, or wait a few months. Folks at Fodors.com suggested that we wait a few months, but I am nervous about seats selling out. Please advise..............

I do remember when we travel to Orlando in 2001, we purchased our tickets in May of that year, and got a good deal, but I am not sure if we should wait.....



Thanks

P.S. So far, I have a courtesy hold on two tickets with Delta for $227.00 roundtrip (with connections)(1hour layover between the two)....from philly...
 
I fly from philly on us air @ xmas this year on dec 25 -jan 7 and I buy the 1st day I can prices went up next I paid $285 and went up to $359 for same flights 10:15am, 6:30 pm home, a friend tried to come home on jan 2 and no seats at a good time . you are lucky to get that price did you try us air nonstop? I hate to have a stop for a 2 hour flight

From my experience, prices from Syracuse, NY airport, which is a smaller airport, only go up, up, up!!

I always book as soon as I decide I'm going anywhere! As long as you are certain of your dates, you can go ahead, get the tickets and have them paid for by the time your vacation rolls around.

An advantage we've experienced ~ you'll have better seats on the plane.
 
You can't beat that price. I'd book it now and pick your seats.
 

December 27th thru the 30th returning from Orlando are already up to $600+ coming back to Cleveland. Airlines MAY add new flights, but not until people buy these seats first. I'd book as soon as you can. Don't forget to check other departure points too (where I live I can leave from Cleveland, Akron or Pittsburgh all within one and a half hour drive). Good luck!!!
