Help me find affordable airfare!!

[paysensmom]

We need to leave SAT on June 6th going to MCO and returning June 17th.
I can't find any cheaper than 952 for four of us. We need four tickets, two adults and two children ages four and seven.
I know someone can find a better deal than I can!!
Thanks

That seems like very reasonable airfare for 4 people since airlines don't have seprate fares for adults and children, or none that I know of.

I have checked those sites, thanks! I didnt have definite dates last week and I saw 811.00!! Did I just miss that chance?

You can check SW, fares aren't any better then what you found but you can get a credit if the fare goes down.

$238 pp really isn't bad...I would be thrilled with that fare.

I found r/t air for 4 on Airtran for $857.60. Flight times weren't great (last flight each day), but its a bit cheaper.

thank you all for your help!! I am still looking, but I may buy on SW. I don't like those AirTran times a bit! Just wondering if I should buy at $891 on SW or wait???

What will you do if you don't find a fare you like, the fares go up and not down? Drive? Cancel your trip?

You may get a better fare if you're able to leave June 5. Saturday morning is a peak travel day.

Im sorry, that $891 is for June 5th!! OF course I wouldnt cancel. We have everything else almost paid for!

I agree with the others that the airfare price you have listed is actually a pretty good price per person. What is an affordable price for you per person?

 

[paysensmom]

I was hoping our airfare would not go over $800 total. Thats why I didn't buy at $811. I am so upset that I didnt buy then.......

That's an amazing price. I paid over $300 a ticket last year in September from Syracuse. This year I paid less, but it was just by luck (not intent).

i use Yapta and Watch Dog to search my flights.

I signed up for the email alerts with both over a year ago.
You get the sales sooner than others do sometimes.

our flights just home alone are $259 right now on JB, not even r/t. I think you got a good price. Pull the trigger.

$238 is too much?

You might get lucky, but I think you got "greedy" You had $811 and decided to roll the dice. You may have lost this time!

$200 per person may be an artifically low "standard"
