Help booking air from Balto.

Help! This is my first time booking my own flight. Always had a travel agent. We are flying out of Baltimore on Dec. 6 and leaving orlando on the 13th. 4 adults and 3 kids. Do I book now? Wait? Go through airline or a place like travelocity? I have been on lots of sites looking around. Most airline sites won't let me put in those dates yet. But travelocity, etc. will. I am so confused. Just want the best price. Any help would be great. Thanks

Do you have an airline you perfer to use? Some airlines aren't booking internet fares for Dec yet. If you are looking for a good deal there are a few things you can do to help yourself.

1) Go to your favorite airlines and sign up for their sales e-letter.
2) I'm using SouthWest new download program "DING" that will notify you while you are on line about specials to various locations. These specials only last a few hours and sell out fast. You may need to be a little flexiable on A or D time but you can save a boat load. We recently purchased 4 round trip tickets at $49 o/w for our trip in May. I'm looking for cheap tickets again for Mousefest in December.
3) Check this board often. Normally someone will post about a good sale.

I'm sure that someone will add other helpful hints. Good Luck finding a great price.

I do not have a preferred airline, just a good price. Thanks for the advice. I am signing up for DING now.

It is actually Southwest Airline that has the DING! download.

You are right, it is SW for "DING". We are flying SW in May. I also have tickets flying AIRTRANS for another trip. I'll make the correction to my post. Thank you.

Southwest all the way... I am in love with BWI (best/easiest airport)
