Is $157 a good price for round trip PHL to MCO in august?

I'm thinking about booking this but maybe I should wait for SW. Uncertain. Have never flown from PHL to MCO so not certain if this is worth grabbing.

Not sure about it...but the price does seem pretty good. We flew USAirways last summer St. Louis to MCO...had a stop in Pittsburg and it ran around $152 per person. Where we live anything under 200 bucks is a good fare so...the plus of buying the tickets IF it's not SWA...you know where you're gonna sit without the hassle of 24hours before boarding stuff.

I LUV SWA, but even if you get a $59 fare each way, the total is going to be about $138 R/T. For a few bucks more now . . . you will have one less thing to worry about (unless of course you booked on Delta! ) Airfare is on the rise for the summer!

we'll be from PHL to MCO, too. What airline is this?

$79 each way is very good. Yes, I have gotten $59 each way, but that was well over a year ago.

Book it. We were lucky enough to get $99 r/t from PHL to MCO on Southwest, but that was with a Ding fare. Your price is good, and like previous poster said, it's 1 less thing to have to deal with.

I'd pay that for RT. I purchased from Southwest, $79 one-way, $177 RT with taxes and fees.

Okay I booked it because I could get the flight times I wanted non stop. I also had to book 6 so I figured that could be a factor if I waited to long. Total for 6 from PHL to MCO was $942 .... that is $157 total per person. The best I could do on the Airtran website was $1062.

For any one who is interested in this fare I booked it through DISNEY CRO. It is Airtran and was for Aug 15 departure and Aug 23 return. It appears Disney is running some good Airtran specials to coincide with the free dining special. I read in another post that people were booking $147 from BWI to MCO through Disney but I am only 25 minutes from PHL so the extra $10 is still a savings to me.

Anything under $200 should be considered a good fare PHL/MCO these days. Consider it found money when you can find a better deal.
