Need booking advice from PHL

[kmermaid]

Going in April. Need to book on US Airways and want the 8ish am flight. Right now its about 240.0 per person. Do I wait and if so how long? It will be 4 of us traveling. Oh man the planning is just beginning!

I would suggest you hold off a little bit. Right now SWA only has their flights set until Dec 11 so I would think that the other airlines are pretty close as well. I wouldn't wait too long though because it's so busy that it will book up quickly. You might want to call US Air and see if they can suggest when you should try again. I would think it might be around November.

Typically USAir drops there prices close to the time SW releases theirs which is 4mos out (?). Usair will issue a refund or a voucher if the price drops....so if you are uncomfortable know you can do that. Also try to match the times w/ lower fared prices from Airtran and SW...tyically the USair prices will be $ to $...while a flight 20 mins later will be $100.00 more. You said you were flying in April...if it is near EAster/Spring Break, I wouldn't wait for it to drop...I'd book now. Otherwise you should have many flights to choose from..they run MANY flights to MCO daily. A side note...if the flights are $250.00 or more if you have or apply for the USair CC they will issue 2 companion tickets for $99.00 which can save you on the other flights too! They do this once per year! Hope this helps!

Thanks for the replies!

Mep319- I just received my usair cc last week. That's why i'm only looking at flying usair. i'll look into that 99.00 companion tix. See if its worth the tix price or not for me!
