Jetblue

I found a great deal with Jetblue. Granted, we have to drive to Orlando (7 1/2 hrs), but 2 roundtrip, nonstop, for $627 (includes all taxes!)

I have been watching the airfare thru sidestep.com. Out of St Louis they seem to stay under $300 for about 7 weeks out, or until around the 10th of March. AA has a lot of flights under $250. After that most go up to around $400+.

It's been about $443 for a while now - from EWR that is. Wait a bit, it'll drop into the $300's I bet. I booked for March about a week ago..started at $516, down to $440, booked at $333. Took a few months to come down though. Too far out to expect May to drop right now, unless it's quick and then goes right back up.

worryfree out of DFW 237 RT. What was that about lowfares and low temps? Very tempting.

Detroit to Cancun - 131.69 RETURN!!!!!!

Hey guys -

For anyone that can fly out of Detroit or other Spirit Air places, on select dates a return flight costs $131.69 NON STOP!!! That's 36 bucks per person before taxes. If you're a Spirit Air card holder you can get it for 18 bucks per person return.

I'm almost in tears! I can't believe I can't take advantage of this!!

Just under $1,200 CDN per person out of Winnipeg on Northwest, including all the taxes. That's with booking back in August. That's regular scheduled flights. No charters available for a one-month stay. Air Canada is even more than that.

From your experience do you think that the prices may drop later on? We're planning a trip in June and the prices are 950 euros pp for a charter flight. With the economy as it is I thought that people would travel less, hence the prices will be lower. However it seems that quite a few flights are already almost full for May, which doesn't give me much hope that we can expect a considerably lower airfare for June.

What do you think?
Thanks!
