Tell Me About Airfare Over President's Day Weekend

[scanne]

I am taking my students to WDW to sing in Magic Music Days and my DH and son are going to join us. We are going down by bus, but they are going to fly. Airfare from Philly to Orlando is like $400+ round trip!!!!!!!!! This is ABSURD!!!!!!!!! I have gotten this flight for like $212 and even less! What's going on? Is there any hope of it dropping between now and then???

Otherwise, they may not go, and I would REALLY miss them for 6 days. Plus I'm going to be 4 1/2 months pregnant and I really want DH there for moral support, you know?

Thanks!

Keep watching the AirTran internet rates. Friends recently used the PHL to MCO special internet rates of $84 each way.
If you can't get them to and from MCO, watch the PHL to TPA rates, which may be better.

BTW, if they could leave on Wednesday before the weekend, the current fare OW from PHL to MCO is $74 versus $177 on Friday. Just a thought. Also, have you checked Spirit from Atlantic City?
Also, NW Airlines connecting through Memphis is under $300RT.
Good luck.

Another option is ABE into SFB. We paid $133 rt when PHL and EWR were over $279.
