Bought My Tickets Already!

Sometimes I don't know if something is wrong with me that I plan so far ahead. As soon as Continental posted their August dates for 2010, I bought our tickets for our stay at Bay Lake Tower next summer. We just bought into DVC and have a reservation for a one bedroom, bay lake view for 8 nights in August. when I saw the plane tickets round trip for $218 from Jersey to Orlando, I figured they probably won't go any lower so I snatched them up. Hope I didn't make a mistake but I did the same thing last year and actually the tickets practically doubled in price so I did do the right thing. Now we just have to get through Fall, Winter, Spring and most of Summer.

I do the same thing! If I see a good fare, I go for it. I've booked over 6 mos ahead many times. Not to good at the waiting game.

That's a really good price, so I doubt you would get them much cheaper if you waited.

$218 is a good price! If I come across something good like that, I'm gonna snatch 'em up, too!! So far nothing too great from Wichita to Orlando, but I check Bing.com every couple of days just in case! We can't turn in our vacation requests for 2010 till the first of January, so I've been iffy to book airfare b/c I didn't want to take a chance that I couldn't get the time, but my supervisor went ahead and took mine and gave me the ok to start looking to buy airfare! YAY!! Now if I can just find some good fares! Chances are, though, I'll end up waiting till Airtran releases theirs and will book with them. They seem to be the best bet out of Wichita.....

I guess I did do the right thing. Today I looked at Continental and the price bounced back to $238. Everyday it bounces around. Strange
