Is this a good fare?

[Princess Tinkerbell]

My sister in law is flying into Orlando on June 16th from SDF (Louisville, KY). We found tickets on a direct flight for $360 a piece round trip. When we traveled a few years ago, we got them for under $300. Does the $360 sound like a good rate, or should we hold out for better? We never fly and haven't been monitoring so we just aren't sure if this is a good deal. Thanks for any advice.

That is probably a good price, as most fares have been going up. I'm sure it's always going to be different based on where you are flying from.
For example, last year we flew for $375 and this year (in June) we are looking at $500 R/T for all except the real late night in bound flights and real early out bound ones.

Thanks! They are going to book. It is a direct flight and the times work so they will just book and not look again so they can't be diappointed if they go down .

If it is SW or JB, *DO* check again, because you can lower your ticket price and get the difference in a "credit"*

*Note: the credit needs to be used within 1 year of purchase date, AND you can only use the credit for the person on the ticket.**

** I'm pretty sure.

It is SW so I'll have her keep looking just in case and get the credit if the rate lowers. They don't fly very often so I don't know if they would use it, but it doesn't hurt to have it in their back pocket for a year if they get one. Thanks!

Or Alaska.

Not helpful for the OP's friends, but should be there for more of a complete answer.

Allegiant from Jun 17 - 24th rt is $180 inc taxes to Orlando Sanford. We take carryon luggage so no extra fees.
