Which airline do you typically use to fly to WDW? It seems as though Southwestern has the best rates.....

Thanks
 
i fly jetblue exclusively. i don't even compare prices.
 

We had ALWAYS flown Delta Always watching for a really good rate. Our nearest Southwest Hub is a HARD 3+ hours away.

THIS YEAR we flew Allegiant and LOVED IT. The plane was in like new condition, leather seats, and their rates around here are between $39-89 one way
( also watching for them to cut their rates)
The bummer with them ... they charge for your baggage( 6.00) , no complementry snack or drink, and IF you choose to pick your seats they charge for that. They will seat families together so we did not pay for that service.

They have a $10.00 fee if you have to cancel and change your flight to another time if you get their travel insurance which is cheaper than Delta..

You also fly into Sanford airport in Orlando which takes you twice as long to get to WDW. No Magical TRansportation so you will rent a car.



We will use them again. It is a great deal for us in Sw. Va. It's a direct flight which can be tough to come by
 
whoever has the cheapest prices. usually usair. we're flying airtran this time.
 
I find the best prices out of Newark on Continental. We got tix for our up coming trip for $158 each including taxes non stop.

I really think it all depends on which airport you are flying out of.
 
We also usually Jetblue or Continental out of Newark - whichever is cheaper. We seem to be using Jetblue more lately because we always have a credit with them.
 
Usually Jetblue but our trip next month was last minute and Southwest had much better fares.
 
Last year we went down on NWA and back on Delta. VERY cheep flight. This year we wanted to go NWA but they have been cancling to many flights. Then we were going to go airtrans and found out Southwest was cheeper. We we booked with Southwest. THis is our first time with them, I hope its all good.
 
I have been spoiled by JetBlue's low rates and comfortable seating. It has gotten to the point that if JetBlue doesn't fly there, I have no need to go.

I was a little disappointed with them while I was planning my February Disney trip. Usually JetBlue's rates are pretty even no matter what day you fly. There is a week in February, where their usual $198.00 round trip from Vermont jumped up to around $800.00 with just one days difference. I understand taking advantage of a high volume time period but, for a discount airline that jump seemed a little like gouging the public.

Other than that minor indiscretion, they are still my favorite. I managed to get the low rate by flying on Thursday. Imagine that!
 
We look for the best price. That usually means Air Tran or Jet Blue.
This trip we are flying Delta on reward tickets.
Have a great trip.
 
We fly Delta almost exclusively. I travel enough to make it to the lowest elite level in their frequent flier program so we often get upgraded on our flights. Sometimes those airline FF programs really do work to keep us loyal.
 
When we first started traveling to Orlando, we always flew Northwest. Then, Spirit Airlines became available to us. (We've had the most delays on Spirit.)

Now, we've discovered Airtran and we are flying them to Orlando for the second time on Tuesday!!! :cool1:
 
We used to fly USAir then switched to Delta. Now in 25 days we're going to try out JetBlue for the first time. I have always wanted to try it but ould always find a cheaper flight w/ Delta. But this time it was cheaper to fly JetBlue.

We are limited in our choices... UsAir, Delta, JetBlue, or Connt. that is all that flies from out airport (3 hours away). If I fly out of the airport in our town well then it's only Delta and it's about $400pp more! I think it's worth the 3 hour drive and a $200 hotel bill.
 
Southwest. Great rates and the airport is 20 min. from the house:thumbsup2
 
USAIR no longer flies direct to MCO so we no longer use them. (don't even look anymore).
Used to get great rates on Delta Express and was happy with it then they dropped it and went to Song. We loved Song! We always booked them. TV low rates, big planes, more legroom. Then Delta closed it down. Now they have no discount line but the seats and planes are reminiscent of Delta Express but they charge more, no TV, small planes, no leg room. Will only book if rate is low and that rarely happens. Most of the time we now book Southwest and I am not a fan. Even leaving in the morning the best they have done for me is to leave only 10 min late. I have yet to leave on time both coming and going. Hate the fact that I have to wait in line and can't show up at the gate and relax in and empty available seat that maybe a gate away. I would love to stick with Delta but they offer me nothing other than a reserved seat for way more money than what I payed when it was Delta Express.:confused3. I would pay their higher going rate if they went back to using the Song planes, that would be worth it to me. I just don't think they get it:sad2:.
