Hello all -
We (family of 4) are booked to go to Orlando for Sept 2009. I was perusing airline tickets and found $270 on United which was the best price around. I have it on hold and am tempted to buy it. But we really like Jet Blue and they are the only ones with a non-stop flight to Orlando from our airport :whoopie: . Only thing is they only book 6 months out. I'm afraid if I wait, I'll lose the United flight. Thing is, Sept to MCO is off season, so prices might not be bad. Any thoughts on waiting or booking? I'd be willing to pay a little more for Jet Blue, but not a lot.
P.S. The only other gripe I have about booking so far out is that our flights frequently get changed over the year. Twice we were rescheduled with seats spread all over the plane (which we can't do w/ little kids). They told us there was nothing we could do as all seats were spoken for - the first time we waited to get on the plane and had to ask people to move - not fun! The second time, I was able to buy some "special" seats for $10 each. I did it. Not happy about having to spend $40 more to sit together when I had arranged for that almost a year prior, but the alternative of waiting to get on the plane was even less appealing.
