SW Fares From PHL

[NJ Goofy]

We are heading down to the WDW in November. As most of you know, SW fares will not come out until June 23rd. Can anyone give me a guess on what the fares could be for the first week of November ??

I am trying to decide if I should book on US Air or United and have piece of mind or wait for the SW fares. That week is "Jersey Week" and I need specific times so I can only be so flexible. We would be leaving on a Tuesday and returning on a Monday.

Thanks.

A guess--anywhere from $79-$119 each way, depending on the day and flight. IIRC, Jersey Week last year we paid $99 each way.

Thanks.

I can get a US Air fare for about $200.00 round trip with the perfect flight times for our trip. So, I might book it.

Just remember "perfect times" on US air almost always change before you have to fly. Don't base your purchase on the fact that you think the times will work better for you. On the other hand SW, I've never heard of them changing times.

Have you searched other airlines already? We booked US Air the week of Sept 15th for 139 rountrip total.

For the times I want, SW and US Air are my only real options. One leg of the US Air fare was $59.00 but the other was $125.00. I would have to take a much later flight to get that down to @ $99.00. But than we would get home too late for my boys to go to school the next day.

Just remember my statement. If you base your travel on times you might be sorely disappointed when it gets nearer the time of travel. There have been lots of story's of times changing that don't work and the perfect time they had prior was no longer available as a choice.

Thanks for the heads up regarding the time changes.

We have flown US Air on most of our trips (have used SW & Spirit) and I guess we have been lucky. If the flight time was changed, it was only by 10 or 15 minutes.

Yep, United has changed me 3 times so far, since 4 months ago. ARRRGGGHHH
