Seattle to Orlando

[livingskies78]

Looking for a Good flight we will be travelling with 3 Kids (9,4,2) flying from Seattle (as from Victoria or Vancouver is way too expensive)

Would probably like a early morning flight or a late night, not alot of connections

What airline to look into (not flying till march 2012 so have a little time)

We will be spending 7-8 days in Disney before going to Ft Lauderdale to cruise on Oasis of the seas for a week


Any help or tips would be great

my sisterinlaw is flying with her family March 17 for $199 from seatlle on delta through JFK
leaves about 10pm at night and arrives MCO at 11:25am
good connections, bad transfer airport but for March break time it was not bad

I THINK that Alaska is the only airline with a non stop flight if that matters
Continental flies connecting through Houston (maybe other places too like Denver and Chicago, but in the winter not great to chance that IMHO)
Hope this help a little.

if you go on www.kayak.com they will show all choices except discount airlines like southwest, spirit etc- those you need to check on their own sites

I would first find out all airlines that fly SEA to MCO to see if any discount airlines like southwest fly
and then check those and kayak regularly
you are however way too early as I think you cannot book until at earliest 330 ?? days out and with southwest I believe they are only booking August right now

Alaska Airlines is the only one with a non-stop to Orlando from SEA. It usually leaves at 8:45 am and they also usually have an overnight (if you are one who can sleep on planes). We usually like this one even if it costs a little more-much easier with no connections.

Other options are Continental (you would connect on Houston), United (connecting in Denver, SFO, or Chicago) Delta (Atlanta) and American Airlines (Dallas). Avoid Jet Blue as they connect in New York, making it along trip. Southwest is another option I'm not too familiar with. They don't fly non-stop though. They stop somewhere enroute for an hour or so, but you don't need to change planes as far as I know.

Are you planning to fly into MCO and return from Fort Lauderdale? You could always book one ways on Alaska to get a non-stop and book a different airline home. I don't think anyone flies non-stop from FLL, but I know Alaska doesn't fly from there at all - they may book you on a partner though.

Hope this helps
