You're probably out of luck. That is most likely April vacation week and you're too late for booking airline ressies. I learned that lesson two years ago when I tried to book for that week. All of Massachusetts has that week off and I couldn't get any flights out of Logan, Manchester or Providence on Friday, Saturday or Sunday. We ended up going Monday-Monday. So, when we went this year for April vacation week, I booked as early as the airlines would let me. I just don't understand why the airlines don't put extra flights on for that week.

certain times of the year do book 340 days out. what carriers have you tried? you can book for a later flight or a different non stop other than what you wanted. there will be 4 sched changes before the flight time so more than likely what you pick will be changed anyways.

Delta Express currently has room (nonstop) for at least four on flight 2417 (7:05am out of PVD) returning on flight 2320 (8:10 pm out of MCO).

US Airways currently has room (nonstop) for at least four at a very low price on flight 2637, leaving PBD at 8:15am, returning on flight 2988, leaving MCO just before noon. If you want to go home later you will need to take a connection (total time 4 hours 45 min) leaving at 4:20 or 4:30, or 5:25, ...

bicker,
where do i find that usair flight, online, directly thru them or travel agent?? They sound like great flights, I have tried AA and various offering on expedia. The flights worth looking into are 350+ and not direct only leaving early in morning

 

[bicker]

I found them using American Express Travel (www.itn.net).

Bicker,
Those flights look good for times but those rates are 1 way, roundtrip comes out to 368$for usair and delta is 692$, that just seems too high

 

[bicker]

Yeah, I consider anything under $400 roundtrip pretty decent these days.

Disnurse..
The Delta website is showing a flight leaving at 8:30 and arriving at 2:30 with a connection through Cinn.. The return flight is also 5 hours and connects through Cinn. as well. The price is $284.00. I'm a teacher and because I can only fly during school vacations I book my airfare 330 days out. I'm going to WDW in February and we are flying into Jacksonville in order to save money on airfare.

Using www.qixo.com and entering your dates I see a couple of flights on American and TWA for $266 - $269 RT.
