So, how are we doing on airfare for DIS-CON?

[Barb]

I know some of you already have your flights booked. How's everyone else doing? I've just checked again and I'm still at $230-$235 round trip with one stop (Pittsburgh or Charlotte) from Allentown, PA to Orlando. I don't mind one stop as long as it doesn't make my total travel time something outrageous. I'm still watching and waiting. I'm hoping to get fares for just under $200, if I can. There's still time. I have a fare watcher working for me, too.

I have fare-watcher, too, Barb. I'm waiting for a fare of less than $130.00 rountrip.

I hope that you have a wonderful DIS-meet.

I have not even looked yet.. yikes, I should.. I put that off until I want to think about it.. Keep me posted though.. I have to do direct nonstop.. Hugs to all..

I'm doing reward travel this time, so it isn't costing me anything, but at last check from Denver to Orlando with 1 stop it's around $200.00, which is about $250 less than I paid last year.

Haven't checked in a while but the last time it was $400 a piece and we would still have to get to Portland which would bump it up to around $600. (ahh the joys of living in small town america) We took a day trip to Portland and wracked up just enough to get a frequent flier ticket each.

Now if the VA would decide my case (I hate waiting and it's been a year and a half already UGH!) and I know whether I have to go back to work even for short bursts at a time or I can go to DISCON 2002, we are all set to start making that all important reservation.

I gave up on the idea of flying to DIScon 2002. I'm driving too. That way I can extend my stay if necessary.
(Shhhh - Don't tell my wife)

<font face="comic sans ms"> John, . Hi. The last three trips that I've taken to the world have been extended while I was there. </font>

Who needs airfare when you're 4 hours from Orlando?

Seriously, how about a carpool? Dayna can pick us all up!

 

[Mskanga]

I'm in the same boat too Barb, dh just informed me last night that he wants to fly not drive, arghhhhhhhhh, only if he could make up his mind!!!!

I'm using frequent-flyer miles for my ticket. The reservation was made months ago, but I haven't been ticketed yet.

 

[Towncrier]

I hope that I don't get ticketed on my drive to/from WDW.

Speaking of driving down, does anyone want to meet me at the Cripple Crab restaurant in Hardeeville (South Carolina) for dinner on November 30, 2002? Good eats for not a lot of money. It would be a great place for a DISmeet.

 

[shep]

Maybe I can talk DW into driving down the same route as you TC..What way are you going down???...Since it obviously won't be I-75.

 

[Towncrier]

I-77/I-26/I-95/I-4/I there

Aye, aye, aye, aye.
I will be driving to DIScon.
I'm taking my Saturn
instead of a plane.
You may think I'm crazy,
but I'm just insane.

Last time I was checking fares I got one for around 175.00 roundtrip, BUT the flight was a total time of 5.5 hours!!!! So I am still looking. I know I'm coming in on the 3rd (morning) and leaving on the 9th (as late as possible)

 

[December99]

I too am patiently waiting for prices to drop some. Cheapest I've found is $260 and I just won't pay it!!!!!

 

[luvdsny]

Not so good, I'm afraid.

I check each and every day--religiously--at least once, sometimes multiple times.....and it hasn't dropped below $480 yet. It has to drop below $300 before I'll even 'think about it'. I don't want to use my frequent flyer miles on a ticket for this when I can use it for somewhere like Hawaii so I'm waiting and hoping.
