Oh my goodness... not a good morning for me! I had already booked PHL-MCO on 11/3, so was waiting for 11/11. I was on-line the minute the schedule opened only to find the flight I wanted was $244 p/p. UGH!!!! That is twice what I typically pay. As I stressed about what to do -- looking at flights the next morning, flights in/out of EWR, and other airlines -- I watched the prices soar even further and several flights completely sell out within minutes. Then I tried to book two other flights, but fares disappeared as I was checking out.
So I wound up booking 7:00 a.m. flights to EWR on 11/12 (Sunday instead of Saturday), and then switching my departing flights to leave from EWR instead of PHL. (My family is sooooo not happy about that 7 a.m. flight!) And to top it off, I have no DVC room for that last night... at least not yet.
Only good news is that we get one extra night in Orlando, though we may just stay at the airport that last night so we can get up at 4:30 a.m. instead of 3:30 a.m. And I did get a $125 credit by switching the first flight. (If only I did that first, I could have used the credit toward the return flight!) And EWR is closer to us than PHL.
Honestly, I've never seen anything like this! I probably shouldn't have booked anything, but I was freaked out by all the sell-outs. I hope the rest of you did better than me!!!
