Hi all , Maybe someone can tell me if $555.00 for 3 people out of Manchester Nh to MCO is a good price ? the dates of trave are 11/29 to 12/08 ( in Dec 2001 i got delta for 95 per person - booked the middle of July - so before 9-11) just wondering what you all think? Thanks Michelle
PS how bad is it that you don't get seat assignments ? i will be traveling with a 9 yr old and a 6 yr old.. thanks again

I'd say that's a little high, but maybe you can change them if a better fare comes out. We fly out of BDL which has comparable fares to MHT. Last JUly (around 7/20) SW came out with $75 RT. We grabbed it for our December trip. This past Spring, we flew down in MArch for $101.50RT. I'm waiting (rather impatiently) for them to come out with a discounted fare for me to book a November trip. Last week, I could have booked for about $150 RT, now it's over $200 - OH when will the specials start ?(LOL)
If I can get a discount fare for Nov, we'll actually have completed 4 trips in a year and get a free RT ticket. Hope to use that for Feb 2003. As far as the lack of seat assignments, They're instituted a new boarding policy so I'm not sure whether that means you have to get there as early, ro whether you have to get there earlier. I would post a question about boarding a few weeks before you leave. Then Maybe someone who has recently flown can give a more accurate report.
