These Are The MAYS of our Lives- The MAYers, Part VI

[rusafee1183]

Wow. I guess I should stop complaining about $115 rt pp. Which I still haven't booked because I am trying to wait it out and see if they go back down.

$115. rt pp.
That's an amazing!!!!! rate. I'd love that!

We are 385.00 pp right now.

Morning everyone!


Pouring rain here today! Froze at soccer last night. But the kids had a blast!

But, I lied. It is at $115 per person each way - not RT. So that's $230 RT/PP plus tax and baggage.

I *should* have booked it when it was $79 pp each way.

Is that on southwest?

We have never flown SW, but I have just signed up for their DING's.
I am hoping it will help me on good flights for NYC and Disney.

It's Airtran. They are all we have ever flown to MCO.

I was pricing with SW and they quoted me over $1,000 for me Bob and Casey. How RIDICULOUS is that?!!?

We have flown both SW and AT to WDW. SW used to offer some great deals and dings from PIT to MCO, but not so much anymore. We went with AT this time at $79 pp one way. Which would be an okay price (definitely not the best we've gotten) but you still have to figure in baggage fees on top of that.


I sure miss the days of $69 flights and no baggage fees!!!

We've never flown Air Tran either.

Usually its NW, which of course is now part of Delta.

I need to look at some of the smaller airlines.

Hey all... we have been a chatty bunch...

Shelly - YAY on talking to Jo... i'm so happy she is having a great vacations. I have some friends over there and they have said that it is REALLY hot.... which i'm not looking forward to since i still have a couple of weeks to go so that will mean it's gonna be hotter....

Heather - I know what you mean.... I usually go during mother's day.... I'm hoping to go again sometime during this week....

NC - Sending pixie dust that your DH send you an email that says BOOK IT..... that would be great....

That ding thing sound good.... I usually fly Continental but this year we are going Jetblue we'll see.... and they give 1 checked bag free so that helped lean more towards Jetblue this year.

 

[lakehead92]

Our prices right now for disney in January range from

1339.00 with horrible flights and connections

to 3200.00 with still horrible flights and connections.

SW and AirTran do not have flights released yet.
Even Spirit is 1600.00. CRAZY!

For the next 7 months I'll be watching rates very closely.

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! just for 4 of you....... goodness.....

 

[lakehead92]

Yes...for 2 adults, 2 children.

I know... I think the January 1st departure date may have something to do with it right now. Lets hope these rates come down.
Luckily we have set the budget for this rate...and anything we get it less for will be extra money for the parks.

Yeah i went through the same thing when I went last year in Jan of 09.... prices were crazy but that is good as long as you know that it is going to be that amount you already have it set.....

I figured I should use the prices I have now...as my budget...and hope for the best. That way I'm not stuck with higher costs later that we didn't expect.

And I am crossing my fingers for SW rates to be lower..or a seat sale to come along.

$264.30 rt pp. = $792.9 + bagagge


What does Delta charge per bag?


Ugh. I really want to go, but I am not sure I want to spend the money.

My hubby doesn't like the "mystery" flight fare. He would rather we book knowing what time we leave arrive. He would not even be going!

I know how your DH feels about the mystery flights.

My cousin had one once...where he left Toronto at 7 am in the morning , and flew into Chicago...spent hours and hours and hours there, before the flight finally continued to Seattle, getting in after midnight our time.. He wished he had just payed the 100.00 more and got a more reasonable and direct flight.

Hello Mayers!

Happy Birthday Heather!!!

 

[rusafee1183]

I also agree about the mystery flights.

They scare me. I just want to know when to be there, when I am boarding, how much everything cost etc etc.... I would be freaking out the whole time that I wasn't boarding a plane wondering if I did something wrong.

Plus - I would HATE the thought of possibly missing the 1st whole day of my vacation.

Hi Sea!

Thank you!!

That's what my hubby hates about it too.

And your vacation really is an investment. I would hate to miss the first day or have to leave to early the last day.

Hello Mayers!

Happy Birthday Heather!!!
