I've joined the fast fingers club and am waiting to see what deals I can get from RDU to MCO for our May trip.

I have a lot of flights to look at this morning. We typically fly BWI->MCO. However, based on dog-sitting options, it might make sense to fly out of Syracuse or Rochester (family who may watch dog is up there). But flights are more limited from those airports. A lot of variables to dissect!

Happy Fare Drop Morning!! I'm bopping between refreshing my low fare calendar and getting the kids ready for school. I wish they would do 6am and then I could get this done before I had to parent!

I’m about to book my husband and I flights for our May trip today when the schedule opens up.. I’m working on my CP and hope to have earned it by May, but just in case I don’t, I will be paying cash for our 2 tickets today. I think my best bet is to purchase the WGA+ fare since I’m not booking with points, right? That way if I do get the CP, I can cancel the ticket and get the transferable flight credit and use it for my daughter later on since my hubby will be my companion. Can I add a companion to my already booked flight when the time comes? I really want to purchase EBCI, but I’m not sure if I should in this instance. But on the other hand, I don’t want to get stuck with a bad boarding position. If I end up having to cancel DH’s ticket, I’d be out $40 though, which sucks. I do have the SW biz card, which allows upgraded boarding positions when available, but that’s also not a guarantee. I wonder what’s my best bet.

If you're working on CP, do you have enough points yet to book him on points and then cancel when your CP comes through?

Yes, you can add CP on later. I wait to add CPs until I see WGAs selling out on our flight days.

ETA: If you're working towards a CP, that also means 125k points balance. So, having that flight credit, even a transferable one, is going to be less valuable to you if you're booking all of your flights on points for a while. I wouldn't want that much flight credit if I knew I had that many points coming.

We don’t have enough points at the moment to book his flight. We wiped a lot of them out on a previous trip so he’s down to 11k and I only have 9k left. I wish we had enough.

I know what you mean about the flight credit. I wish I had another way to do it. I guess the good thing is they don’t expire anymore, but I hate to be out the cash.

 

[LadybugsMum]

Got $119 each way for a total of $714 for the 3 of us. Not the cheapest we've had, but not terrible either. I booked each way separately and will keep watching the prices at SW and Delta as we get closer to the trip.

 

[hsmamato2]

had to alter my planned dates to an odd day of the week but got some return flights! one day it's 13k points, the next few days it's almost 50k points for same flight

 

[Avery&Todd]

We're headed to Cocoa Beach in April 15-22 - and I was able to snap 2 non-stop flights for 45k pts for the 2 of us..which would have been $641 if we'd paid cash..

They're great times - I just hope they stick!

Hope everyone else had the same luck!

 

[KayW]

Got my flight but couldn't figure out where to add EBCI. Now on hold for four minutes to see if they can add it. Stress is slowly relaxing.

 

[DisneyRunner2009]

Fares as expected. Booked only one way with points. Prices fluctuate so I'll keep an eye on it.

 

[disneylover81]

Got ours booked for May. Not really excited about the times or the price since I had to pay cash. $814 for the 2 of us , but on the plus side I’m glad they brought back daily nonstops. It’s 2:30 pm heading to MCO and 3:10 pm heading back to MEM. I’m having sticker shock at the flight home prices. It used to be so cheap to fly in and out of Memphis.

 

[AuroraluvsPhillip]

Used up about half my points, about 10K points more than my flight last month, but glad to see three nonstops each way from PVD on weekday flights in May.
