I am ready to book air, opinions?

[Lookn4Mickey]

Ok, I think I have found our plane tickets. We are changng our days so we leave on the tuesday after Thanksgiving instead of Sunday. DTW to MCO
Here is what I have 11/29-12/5 Spirit (through cheaptickets.com, any expierience with them?) 2 adults and 2 children $157 per person---$629 TOTAL!
Do I want to chance it going lower or just take it now? I can't make this decision. If it goes lower will cheaptickets give me a credit?

Thanks!

Places like cheaptickets normally don't do price adjustments, but your price looks good to me.

Did you check with the airline directly? A lot of times you can get the same fare at the airlines web site and then you may be able to get credit for a lower fare if one comes out. Not to mention that if the airline has the same fare, you don't need to pay the booking fee.

I tried the spirit website and I get $176.90per person -- $707.60 total.

I've never booked through Cheaptickets so I'm not familiar with the way they work. Do they give you the flight schedule when you get the price?

Yes, I picked my times. I am not sure how the seating goes, they ask me if I prefer window, aisle. I think mabey once I pay I will get the seats?

As I said earlier, I'm unfamiliar with Cheaptickets but does the $157 include taxes, segment fees, etc? I also noticed on their website that they charge a $6 per ticket service fee. Is that included in their price? If these are included in the $157 I don't think I'd hesitate to book. However, if they're not I think I'd check their price against Spirit's again.

Yes, that includes the fees. I'll book it, thanks for helping me decide! This is feeling more real now.
