Exclamation Airtran Dec. Flight Prices

I just looked at our flight online through airtran. We paid 462 dollars total with seat requests for 2 people. Our flight now...896 dollars for two people. THANK GOD I ALREADY BOOKED. We wouldn't be able to afford even going for prices like that!!!

Just took a look at my flights in November that I purchased, and I only went up $40.00 so far. I am glad I bought them when I did.

.... and that is precisely why I'm insisting our group get the rooms booked NOW, so we can book the flights too.

I checked our flights (Boston - Orlando on JetBlue) and they've gone up about $85 per person in the six weeks since we booked. With 6 in our party that is a big difference, although not double. I'm also glad we booked asap. I miss the days of holding out for a sale fare!

Congrats on your flight deals!
I am still on the watch for ours! Our return flight is steady at $104 and bi-weekly seems to go on sale for $74-$94 but our flight to Orlando is staying in the $250 range. I told Rob our next pay day we have to at least book the flights home... I have my fingers crossed the flights to WDW will go on one of these sales soon!!

Hi there! I am in Saugus, home of the giant cactus (Hilltop Steak House) and the big orange dinosaur, lol. We were in Lowell last month for a concert (Jimmy Eat World and Paramore). DH went to U Lowell (that's what it was then) for his undergrad. Nice to meet a fellow area WDW fan(atic).

On a side note, we were in Boston today and they had a giant replica of the NBA championship trophy in front of the Garden. It was very cool!

I booked us on SW at $82 each way. They are now $142 & $119, so that is a difference of $97 per person X 2 = $194! That's more than one round trip ticket cost originally!

Your DH and I may have met ... slim chance, but ... if he's ever been into roleplaying games like Dungeons and Dragons, ask him if he spent time at the student club "MaGiK" (yes, spelled exactly like that), and what years. It'd be too funny if we knew each other ...
