STL- MCO - Pull the trigger?

[Anjelica]

Going to DW May1st-8th (yes I know quite a ways away). I prefer flying Southwest from STL-MCO due to no baggage fees, etc. and usually decent fares BUT I just got an alert for American Airlines at 209 + baggage fee for those dates. I'm going back and forth on whether I should pull the trigger and go ahead and purchase? Or should I wait several months out for Southwest to release May dates. (Both Airlines offer non-stop so that's not an issue).

Wanted to add that it would be 15.00 per bag for the first bag per ticket - We would only be taking one bag per person so with AA would be 224.00 per ticket. With SW that would need to be 112.00 each way to be comparable.

We are flying from STL to MCO too. Our fare actually go on Sale tomorrow with SWA. I'd personally book with SWA just because the luggage fees and all that can definitely add up. We have 5 people going in our party and I don't even wanna see what we would pay in luggage fees especially coming home from WDW.


Edit: I don't know about anyone else, but at Lambert I prefer to leave from the East Terminal of Lambert. It just seems less congested to me.
