NOW DH decides we can fly..

[la79al]

DH lets me know TODAY that we can fly instead of drive for our trip. Yes, that ticker says 37 days. I can't seem to find anything under $1000 for the 4 of us. That is leaving from BWI, Phila, or Pittsburgh, flying into Orlando. Any suggestions?????

Don't know is sw airlines is an option for your family, but down load their "DING" feature
and i believe i saw flights from the airport area you can go for $44 each way.
good luck and enjoy your trip

If you are anywhere near the Lehigh Valley, Allegient (sp?) flies out of ABE and they are usually $59 each way.

Otherwise, I agree with PP that Southwest is probably your best bet.

Air Tran and Continental have a sale out of BWI...Air Tran and United have a sale out of Pittsburgh.And there are tons of sales to Orlando out of Philadelphia.Look at the airline websites and punch in your dates.I put in June 12-19th but I did not know your exact dates.I'm sure with all the sales going on you should be able to come up with an acceptable airfare.
Good Luck and let us know what you find.

Give us your exact dates. Try kayak.com or airtran,southwest.

Our exact dates are June 23-30. For a really really good price it could possibly be the 22nd-30th. I have DING downloaded but I haven't seen anything from BWI to Orlando lately. Maybe I will go in and add some airports further from home.

Your dates seem more expensive for some reason.I did find a fare on Southwest for $158.80 RT PP out of Baltimore if you can go June 22-29th...
I'll keep looking.

Oops,Sorry.The return is OK for 4 people but the flight out is not.
Darn

Where is PA are you? Are you too far out to consider Atlantic City. Spirit would be $935 without insurance. And parking is cheaper there also.

Curse your DH, because Southwest ran great $49 one way specials out of PHL for weeks. But that was several months ago. You snooze, you lose.

But ----- don't give up hope. Check ding three times at day. Check southwest's website every day. Hang in there and be persistent.

Yeah - it looks like you may have waited a little too long. There are no cheap fares available for your dates (or close alternates) from BWI, PHL. I did not check PIT.

However, if you change your dates to 6/22 - 6/29 you can fly from BWI to tampa for $635 for 4 people on southwest. You have to depart early morning to return home. You could also fly from 6/22 - 7/1 for $675 for 4 people from bwi -tpa.

Many people use this as an alternate to flying into orlando. You will need a rental, obviously.

Anyway - its something to think about. Go to southwest websites and play around with it a little. Unfortunately, they are really booked up in June. Good luck!

Try swavacations and book the air and car together, sometimes that is a better deal! Good luck!

Try a site called airfarewatchdog.com. I've been checking it daily for flights from my area and if I was flying during June, I could get a flight for $98 roundtrip (some restrictions apply), but you might find something that works for you.

You just need to check it everyday...and throughout the day because you never know when something new pops up.


Here is a link...which hopefully takes you right to a BWI - MCO fare report.

Hopefully something works for you.
