    Default Southwest lowers fares a little bit.

    I just checked my flights for Oct. and the fares went down a little. Just thought I would everyone know who is looking or already booked looking to get some credit back. Good luck.

    Thanks. Finding fares is a nightmare. They are high, make too many stops and waste the depart and return days.

    Depends on where you're flying from. Southwest has direct flights for us, leaving before 7 AM and coming home after 7 PM. That is why we always rent a car. We arrive at WDW prior to 10 AM and don't have to leave until about 4:30 PM to go home. Not having to rely on ME or any other transportation we actually do get 8 full days out of a 7 night trip!

    2 hours to the SW airport from here. I could have sworn they had direct flights last year.
    The closer airport is only flying on Mon, Wed, Fri.

    Keep checking...On the day they released the flight schedule for this time frame, we got non-stops from BWI (Baltimore) to/from MCO (Orlando) for $88 per person each way. Since then, I have seen them anywhere from $109 down to $97, but never back down to $88 (as yet) and some days there are only SOME of the flights listed, not all.

    The flights from Philly started at $105.00 that day and have gone up. I got us down to $98.00 one way. We are going again in March, so any type of credit will be great. $88.00 isn't too bad especially since you won't have baggage fees.

    Yep. We got direct from St. Louis to Orlando the same day for $72.00 each way. Saved us a ton.

    I check everyday to see if the prices have gone down. I changed a return flight from 4pm to 1pm and saved 56.00 each for my dh and myself for our may trip! We now have a credit for 112.00 which I will use when we fly down for our Dec trip! Just have to wait for Southwest to open up for Dec bookings

    We booked Jet Blue out of Boston for our trip in September. We got $84 flights both ways. The total was $378. Flights from Providence on Southwest for the same days (Sept. 7-14) were $598.
    Went back a couple of days later and checked JetBlue to book for some friends and one of the flights had already jumped to $104. You have to strike while the iron's hot!

    Just looked again and it's $350 round trip with Southwest and stops at least once. Allegiant is $120 but they would only be 4 park days.

    Anyone know when Airtran is opening up flights for the second half of November into December? It looks like the first half of November is open but not the second half.

    I booked our return flight today as the fares went down "a little". We are flying back from MCO on 10/22 to Providence and our one way fare is $135 (including taxes)...still pretty high compared to what I am used to.

    I am still looking for flights down....we can fly out of Hartford or Providence.
