Only booked flight home????

[son3disfan]

I jumped on a good deal for our late April/early May trip, but only booked THE RETURN TRIP!!
I've never done this before, and I am second guessing myself!
Anyone else do this?

I am flexible on my departure, and I will wait to book that one ( maybe a ding fare!)but coming home, I wanted it to be Sunday, and AIRTRAN had a $72.00 fare ( for all 6 of us) in MAY , and it was SUNDAY!!! and I just couldn't resist.
Sunday's are usually more , right?
Oh man... what did I do.

Oh, and that would be NON-Stop flight too, to Buffalo!(from Orlando, of course!)

You're not crazy! I do that a lot - let's see... not for my December LAS trip, because when I checked the prices on JetBlue the best price was two flights a week apart, so (unusual for me) I booked a round-trip itinerary!

But I'm going to Disney in September; my departure was flexible, but my return was based on a combination of DVC points and not wanting to change resorts twice - so I booked my return flight in April and my departure flight in June.

And last trip to Las Vegas, same thing - I knew when I wanted/had to come home, but again my departure was flexible. Good thing, too, since by waiting I was able to come in a day early and see a comedian I REALLY wanted to see!

I do it all the time too. I'll tell you though, it was hard to get used to. I used to be the girl who trotted down to my neighborhood travel agent and had them make my flight plans. Then, I got really brave and did it myself online. Then....a few years ago, when airfares started doing funky stuff, I started booking each way...one at a time. I now fly down on one carrier and home on another. I do have my favorite airlines and try to fly those 2, maybe 3, consistently. But each trip can be a combination of any two.

I did it last year for the first time. Booked return flight in September, departure flight in January. The price was right.

I do this all the time...I wait for the best deals for each way.

Thanks for the reply's.

I've only ever booked roundtrip fares and this makes me really nervous.
I feel a bit better today..
Now , I'll just keep my fingers crossed Airtran doesn't change my flight!!
