We bought our tickets in Feb. for our Dec. trip and good thing we did, as prices have only gone up.
Good luck!

YIKES!! Prices are about $250 out of Indy. The only reason we got a better deal than that was DH's sky miles through Delta.

I thought $220 from Orlando into LAX a few days before Christmas was bad - maybe not?

That's why I'm trying Spirit for the first time. The rates are really low and I can't imagine being feeeee-ed to death. I paid for 3 tickets nonstop from Chicago to MCO, bought the insurance and paid for 1 bag (it's only a 3 night trip) and paid for seat selection. Our total was $612 for the three. Wish me luck!

Prices went up because oil was sooo expensive. Even though the price of oil has dropped dramatically, I don't expect prices to go down by much

It looks like our 2014 Trip to WDW will be driving, unless by then this War on fuel will be over. After paying $303.00 pp round trip this year, I will not pay over that. So we will all have to keep our fingers crossed......

We're looking at flying to Anaheim in a couple of years, and I know I need to be saving every dime!
Hope everything works out for you

There are 4 of us and we can do it. DH drives for a living and really looks forward to not driving. So we will see.
