USA3000 vs. Southwest?

[imamicki2]

Got a quote from USA3000 for four for 633.00 for late October. With rumors about Southwest coming out with more dates beginning of May........do you think they can beat that price? USA3000 is of course nonrefundable. Do you think I have 2 weeks to decide or should I jump on USA3000 tix?
PLEASE TELL ME WHAT TO DO! The stress is killing me.
Today I saw a sign (don't stress, that is god's job) I find it fitting for this scenario!!

I don't think I would jump on Airtran. I know that the tickets we were watching on Airtran for the last 4 weeks have been at the same price. We finally got a "Ding" fare for Southwest for less than Airtran and it is a direct flight. If it were me, I would hold out.

I see you are in Maryland. SWA has at least 10 daily departures from BWI to Orlando and 8 or 9 of them are non-stops. Hold out for SWA. You dont say how many people your paying for on USA 3000, but you could easily beat that price on SWA for 4 people. If you want a refundable ticket it will cost you more, if you want to go cheap then grab one of their internet special fares, usually @$50 one-way per person. Just be ready when the flights get released, they go quick.

I'd be concerned about using an airline that doesn't have alot of flights like USA3000. They tend to pickup and leave cities without much notice if they are not filling flights.

We fly Southwest all the time, we have since they first started flying out of Albany, we love the airline and you can't beat $46 flights to MCO from upstate Ny
