Maritimes + New England best fares to Orlando (Post em)

[RainbowsMist]

RainbowsMist ... why add bag fees? Jetblue gives you the first bag per person free ...

You are basically doing the same flight as we did last week ...

The return is with Airtran..they have baggage fees. I would love to fly back with Jetblue however their fares are really hight for our return flight. No idea why...

 

[Ted in Halifax]

I see .. I thought both ways were jetblue!

Just a heads up ... I'm seeing some YHZ to MCO fares in Feb and March that work out to just under 500 per person. March Break excluded ....

I've looked at Continental and Air Canada.
Example ... thru Continental.

March 10 to March 24th

2 Adults (age 18 to 64) 778.00 CAD
2 Child 778.00 CAD
Additional Taxes/Fees 414.96 CAD
Total Price 1,970.96 CAD

Connects in Newark ...

Ted, now if you could only sprinkle some pixie dust on that and change the dates to April 10th & 20th.

 

[mcgraws]

Newark scares me in the winter though, I've been delayed through Newark and it seems to happen alot.

Also just got my credit card bill and I was wrong about my rate, it was a little less than I thought, actually $888 each way for a total of $1876!!!! for 4 of us out of Halifax, through Montreal going, direct returning with Air Canada so 2 free checked bags each.

I'm excited about the trip and even more now that my flights were under $1900

 

[fan1080]

Some great deals posted here.

We've enjoyed direct flights out of halifax for 3 of our past trips; Canjet, through Transat Holidays. For our last trip, we went during March break earlier this year, so the direct flights from Halifax were out of the question. Supply and demand pushes those flights way too high during March break.

We flew Airtran out of Portland for that trip, $89 each way, plus baggage fees. Still alot cheaper that flying out of Halifax, even after paying for hotel, gas, etc.

Friends of ours are going March break 2010, and are very attached to the direct flights with Transat. They are paying over $900 per person..... but they feel it's very much worth it.

 

[Ted in Halifax]

I'm toying with the idea of a quick return to Disney. Would book a flight from YHZ to MCO, if I can find a sub $400 CDN deal. Otherwise, might make the trip to Maine again.

If anyone sees a deal from approx March 10 to March 24th , please let me know.

[Ted in Halifax]

I looked thru Allegiant and found a departure to St Pete's (less than 2 hours to Orlando) from Bangor ... This is for early December. It runs $39.99 (departure) + $59.99 (return) us plus taxes. Dec 7 to Dec 14th ...

We like flying Southwest out of Manchester NH. $900.80 US return for 4 people non-stop, no baggage fees.

Same deal as I post above at Southwest for March 10 -24th for $900.80.

 

[Ted in Halifax]

Will look into that ... thanks!

 

[DisneyFreak06]

I have nothing to add, sorry, but those are some great deals! Sometimes it's really annoying that we can't get such good deals as in the US. I live in Charlottetown, about >5 minutes from the airport. The convenience of flying through our tiny airport is really great, but the price is not always. I was lucky last summer to get $550 out of YYG (Charlottetown). I'm also usually travelling solo, so it's not as big a deal for me, but it's still usually so much more.

 

[Ted in Halifax]

I agree with the frustration over our airfares ... that's why I wanted this thread ... need affordable airfare

Tues Mar 16-Tues March 23

Total $520.90 And the flights are better, arriving at Noon in Orlando.

Wish I could go...

 

[Ted in Halifax]

I'm seeing a few Bangor to Sanford december options that work out to $129=0 taxes in, per person, but you need to add bag fees plus transportation to disney. If anyone was planning to rent a car, this might be an option.

My 4 could fly for US480, plus 4 bags each way (120), plus Mears to Disney (240 - covers 4 both ways) ...

The 240 would be better used if someone was already planning on a rental.

- - - - - - Just a thought - - - - - -
Ted's Budget thought .... for 4 (10 days)
Airfare and Bags $600 US (could reduce bags to 2 large bags and save $60)
Car rental $400US? (priceline)
Off site Hotel $1000 (Hotwire)
Disney passes $1000
Food $800 (yes optimistic?)
Park/fly 150
Gas 200?

Just over $4000 ....
