Question? Flight???In a hurry...sort of...

Hi to all the budget folks out there- please help! I'm pretty good with my budgets, especia;;y for travel- I found fares on Song for $79 each way- to Orlando- that's only 160 each- and I've always wanted to try out song vs southwest- is this a good deal? right now SWA is posting the same fares, but with Song, no cattle call lines, and free movies etc! Whaddya think?

When are you going? Where are you flying out of?

I prefer Song over SWA.

Never flown SWA- got a bad taste after watching Airline (but if the fare is right I'll be on it )

Song is great, similar experience to Jetblue. I would def. try them out.

Since we have no idea when or where we cant' really respond.

However, I will defend SWA... I fly them a lot and have NEVER seen the things they show on Airline. So.. figure they have ONE problem a day and that is all you see on TV, you don't see the 100's of other flights that go fine.

Sorry... I had to go out for a while... I'm going from Hartford to Orlando- we've always flown SWA- haven't really had a lot of trouble at all, just didn't like the no seats chosen ahead thing, but b/c of the price, we always went with them. thought if the best deal swa had matched songs...well, it seems that fares are higher than a couple of weeks ago, more oil troubles? hard to see the future... thanks for advice!

Song is great. LOVE the seatback TVs and the trivia game. SWA is great too but no movies so I would go with Song.

We've flown Song out of Hartford to Orlando several times--always for a great price. We're leaving Monday 10/3 and the fare is $158 rt. I like Song better than SWA and will always try to fly Song if I can. It is worth the extra few $ not to do the whole cattle call thing, and to have the individual seatback TV's and trivia games. DD6 loves it and she stays occupied, you can purchase decent food, and if feels a lot less "budget-like". Besides, I never seem to get thos $99 rt fares on SWA that everyone is always talking about, so Song is a good deal to me.
