Going end of June till early July.
Flying in and out of Philly. Booked our flights at the very end of December.
All are for family of four... and all prices include all taxes/fees.
To: Us Air $102.70 per person
Return: SWest $149.70 per person (though then had $172 credit I applied)
$1009.60 round trip family of 4.
This week just booked for our Thanksgiving trip.
To: $121 per person - United from Newark
Return: $145 per person - Jet Blue to Newark.
$1062 round trip family of 4.
Interestingly... right now could book a flight nonstop to LAX and go to
Disneyland for $1,272... not much more than am paying for WDW. So it amazes me how much the flights have gone up for a 2 1/2 hour flight to MCO!
Long gone I guess are the days when just over 2 years ago when we flew round trip for $660!
Have NEVER flown from Newark before. We are centrally located between EWR and PHL... PHL is easy to us.
BUT..... can't stand the wait for SW and Airtran to release their schedules. US Air with no competition right now is HIGH ($191 one way!). What if I wait.... just to find out SWest starts out with high prices - and the last batch had only one nonstop per day - um, no!
So saw $121 and said that's it, am going with it! Maybe if waited could get for $110 each way - but eh, am more than happy with $121!
and.. PHL - I want to say it was late Jan/early Feb that I saw in the $120 range for flights for Thanksgiving of $92 one way but wasn't able to commit to our dates yet - so I snoozed and lost on that one!
I like to book early - as soon as schedules are released - but can't always do it if am unsure of my travel dates yet.
