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

Go to www.kayak.com and set up a price alert. Every week, the will send you an email with the best prices to MCO. Watch those emails to get an idea of what is a good price. Then, when you get to the point where you want to buy you'll know if you're getting a good deal.

Alaska has a nonstop (we took that one back home), SW has several one or two stops (we chose the one that changed planes in Vegas on the way to Orlando). Virgin America is a beautiful airline to fly, but isn't nonstop, it either changes in San Francisco (tough b/c weather there seems to delay those flights) or Los Angeles. It also doesn't give credit if the cost goes down (unlike SW and Alaska), and charges for even the first bag...but it's an awesome way to fly otherwise!

We might go with United for our next trip, but that's ONLY because we might have the frequent flier miles for it.



If you're driving down, scope out the more discounted parking places around the airport, as the airport charges a tremendous amount for parking. I like Doug Fox, have also used WallyPark, and there's MasterPark as well. If you'd like to be leisurely, there's Amtrak from Vancouver, but then you'd need a shuttle/big taxi to the airport, and the timing would cause you to spend one night at an airport hotel before getting an early flight out. Increases the expense while making things more leisurely.
