Good fare from Memphis?? Need to know if I should buy now....

[lmhall2000]

We've flown twice before but for the life of me I can't remember what I paid (3 pregnancies in 4 years does this to you!)- but I thought I paid around $150 RT. Delta is showing $213- I need five tickets- one will be frequent flyer (they have availability)- we're planning on going mid-September- we won't fly again for another two years so the vouchers they give out if the prices go down won't help us. Should I wait till midsummer and see if there are better rates or should I book now? Any Memphians out there with experience with airfares? Thanks!

Book your frequnet flyer ticket NOW. Those things go fast. As for the other, i don't know what to tell you. If it was me and I was doing a frequent flyer ticket, I would go ahead and bite the bullet to make sure I had everything locked down.

Hello there!
I fly out of Memphis to MCO and TPA several times a year.
$213 is a good price anymore.......
I think the days of $150 rt are gone for good.
I flew into TPA this month because it was $207 vs $300 for MCO.
That was buying the tickets 5 months in advance. They never went lower, I checked almost daily at Orbitz.
As for waiting for a better price, I wouldn't risk it, as CarolA says, those ff seats go fast!

They were $213 including tax- so that wasn't so bad and I got my FF ticket and we're able to use an unused ticket my husband had from 1994!! So if we averaged our savings we're actually only paying about $130 per ticket- so that's not so bad. Can't wait to go- no if only those rates for September travel would come out we'd be ready to go!!
Thanks for your help it really made me take action!
