Nov Travel from ROC to TPA

[Always_leah]

There are 5 of us traveling (3 kids) from Nov 4-12 from ROC to TPA.
I don't know how long to play the waiting game for.....

any thoughts ?

try southwest

Southwest doesn't fly out of ROC. It does fly out of BUF but I'd like
to avoid that if possible. I also don't want the cattle-call line.

thanks-

southwest out of buffalo has good fares now for tampa

we just booked nov 30 - dec 7 for 94$ r/t

to me that is worth it......even if they do have the cattle call.....

how old are the kids....

if any of them is under 5 then you will get pre boarding privilege...


alas ...they have none of the good fares left for your travel dates.......but it was nice trying.. BUT

if u can fly nov 5 - nov 12 they have fares for 5 at 485$ total round trip.......but the times for nov 5 gets you in at 5:10 pm so that might not be good....just a thought....or if you leave friday the 2th ....they also have it at 485$ for 5......the flights go through baltimore

but these fares expire tonight at midnight PST i think and are internet fares only......you would not get then if you called....

Thanks for the sw info but we can't change our dates.....
I'm still not sure just how long to wait..........

What do you mean by the cattle call???

 

[Always_leah]

I just meant that you have to wait in line (first come, first served) for a seat. They do not pre-assign seats.

Still not sure if I should continue to wait for any more sales
that cover Nov travel ?
any thoughts ?
