So here is my situation. I need to book 2 airline tickets from the NJ area (Atlantic City, Newark, Philly of NY) to Ft Lauderdale on Frinday Nov 6 (early am) thru Monday Nov 9th (afternoon) for a short cruise I am taking my 13 year old on. We recieved a great past passenger rate along with on board credits for those dates. Being that it is "Jersey Week" with most schools on teachers convention, the prices are higher then I am usually willing to book.
Leaving a day earlier or comming home later is not an option for us.
Here are a few options I am looking at and could use some help.
If I book with Spirit out of Atlantic City, with discounts it will cost $402.00. Since we live 30 minutes from there I will be getting a ride so parking fees will not be an issue.
Pros: Close to home
COns: They will not match fees if they go done and they cost about $100 more then some other airports. Plus charge for bags, although we will only be taking 1 lg suitcase.
Another option is out of NY, a much further distance for $100 less but factor in over 2 hours of driving, toll and gas there will be no real savings.
Other airports like NEwark and Philly are around the $350-400 mark, but again travel and tolls.
I know Atlantic City is my bets bet but I hate to book and have the price go down but on the other hand, hate to not book and they price go up again.
Can anyone think of another solution or suggestion that I can use or what you guys may do? Thanks
