Never booked airfare - have ???

[kaffinito]

Hi all,

It looks like I'm going to have to give up on driving down to Orlando from Michigan and am a little uncertain about booking airfare so I have a few questions.

1. Does DME service or deal with AirTran?

2. Is 532.00 for 3 people round trip a good price?

3. Orbitz has non-refundable airfare, is it better to get airfare that is refundable?

4. If so, which airlines or booking sites offer refundable airfare?

Thanks a bunch for all of your help - I'm a little nervous about even booking the airfare let alone flying.

I'll give it a shot.

Hi all,

Magical Express from the airport to your resort at WDW is open to anybody with a WDW reservation, no matter what airline they fly in on. Air Tran is also a participating airline, so you can check your bags for your return flight at your resort and take DME back to the airport.

2. Is 532.00 for 3 people round trip a good price?

That seems pretty reasonable to me.

3. Orbitz has non-refundable airfare, is it better to get airfare that is refundable?

I always book directly with the airline. It is advantage to buy refundable it there's a chance that you won't actually fly. Also, some airlines charge big fees for changing or cancelling non-refundable flights. So it is up to you. You can always buy trip insurance.

4. If so, which airlines or booking sites offer refundable airfare?

Most airlines offer refundable fares but they are more expensive.
