US Air Phil to Orlando $79 each way

[DianeV]

Just saw on US Airs home page specials out of Philadelphia, one of which is $79 each to Orlando and Tampa. Sounds like a good deal.

Now if only anyone would ever come out with specials from Detroit!

Diane,
I know what you mean. It seems they always pass over Detroit on the specials. I usually check Spirit, NWA and Air Tran sites.
I used to live in Redford-now I'm 20 miles west.

HI there!
Nice to see a neighbor

It is getting frustrating as we leave either June 29 or 30 and come back July 12 and the cheapest so far is Spirit and NW. I am not real sure about Spirit, I have heard some good and some bad. I just wish one of the "majors" would go under $200! I have never had to pay over $200 and we have been flying there for 6 years now

Diane,
I just checked NWA 6/29 to 7/12 out of Flint(usually less) straight through(no stops) for $176.00. Flint is a easy airport-about 6 gates total and easy to park and shuttle. Clean and less congested than Metro. Just a thought.

Hi
thanks, we were considering that. The only thing is my husband works for Wayne County and can park at the airport in the employee lot for free so alot would depend on how much parking is at Flint airport..

I will check into that though

We paid 25.00 for the week at their budget lot across from the airport. The shuttles were running fast- didn't have to wait and flag one down. We got to the airport and I forgot to leave the car seat in the truck and the driver took me right back so I could drop it off.
It seems the rates go down Mon., Tues., & Wed.-
I've had better luck at a lower rate between the 21&30 days before my departure.
