We are flying down to Orlands to do a Land and Sea package in October. We have flown down the last 3 years in October (much nicer to get their in less than 2 hours instead of a 10-12 hour road trip). The only carriers that offers non-stop service to MCO from my area are Delta and Allegant.
Last year for 2 adults we payed about $650 for a non-stop round trip with Delta. This year it is almost $300 more. (roughly a 33% increase and about 1/2 of what the entire week with Disney is going to cost) I know that the price of operating aircrafts have increased drastically with fuel costs, but this seems crazy.
With Allegant we can fly for less but the only departing flights are at night. We would have to arrive the night before of package begins and rent a car because we would not be able to use ME or pay for shuttle/taxi/ car service and then pay for an extra night or stay at another local hotel off site. Which would end up being the same as flying direct with Delta.
:thedolls:
I have searched tons of fare sites and AAA, as well as, delta's site. There really are not any other discounts we qualify for and most carriers are not offering much of a break for anyone, anyway.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions that could make this easier and maybe a little bit more budget friendly? :confused:
Any help or ideas would be fabulous.:blush:
