Booking Airfare vent!!!! About This Page:

[mylittleminnie]

Ok here it goes. I just have to vent. I have been searching for airfare for our May trip. The best price I seen has been from jetblue 208 roundtrip from jfk to mco. well the price went up a bit to 213 roundtrip. my DH and I agreed we would wait for a sale. fine. Well Saturday morning I noticed JEtblue lowered the prices on the departing flight we wanted from jfk to mco to $89 . I also noticed Delta had the same sale $178 roundtrip. WEll I told DH we have a number of options we can book Delta roundtrip , or book the Jetblue departing flight and wait for the return flight to go on sale. or we can book the Jetblue flight to depart and a Delta flight to come back. His response well I think airfare is going to get lower lets wait for it to go to at least $74 each way . If it was up to me I would book it, But I guess we are waiting. HE even said he wants to take a risk even if in the end we pay more. I don't know $178 roundtrip sounds good to me. Thanks for listening to my frustrations. I keep checking the rates on airfare and it's driving me crazy!!!!!

If it was up to me I would book it but DH is stubborn. If I book it and the price goes down I will never here the end of it. I guess we don't see eye to eye on this one

Just book it! If you can drive to Buffilo and take Southwest Airlines

I'm so glad my DH lets me handle vacation plans. I could never take a chance on something like that!

$178 sounds pretty darn good to me! But is Delta one of those airlines that charges the baggage fees? If so, that is definitely something to consider -- as those "hidden fees" add up QUICK!
We booked our May airfare over the weekend with SW. We are paying about $264 pp RT, non-stop. This includes a little $26 credit I had.
Good luck with finding a good fare!!

thanks for your response . actually I know jetblue has no fee on the first checked bag but I didn't know DElta charges $15 for the first checked bag. Thanks for the tip. This changes things. I guess I just have to wait and see if something better comes my way from JEtblue. I wish I could book the one way for $89 with jetblue but DH wants to wait. Thanks again for the tip very helpful.

Yes I have. My DH wouldn't go for it. THanks for the help. My options are so limited.

If you go to farecast.com they have a fare predictor that tells you if fares are predicted to go up, down, or stay the same.

I say book it - partially because I've had great experiences of the service on JetBlue, but I haven't heard such great things about Delta. :

Good luck. $178 RT is a good deal though. I have only been able to find prices for $238 + for our trip.

If you book it and the price goes down then you can get a credit for your next
trip. If the price goes up then you can rub it in while you are laughing all the
way to WDW. Good luck in the wait game.

You're going to be hard pressed to beat $178 round trip!! I say book it~!~ If it goes down (by what $4 a ticket????!!!) Tell your husband "YUP I SCREWED UP" But better to screw up and pay $4 more a ticket than wait and pay $20 or $30 or MORE a ticket!!!
