Another step closer...airfare booked!!!

I am so impatient! I could not wait any longer for Southwest to release their May dates. Finally, Air Tran released their fares for our return trip, so I booked yesterday. We are flying from Philadelphia, and got $211 per person including taxes, RT. Not bad, considering how high airfare has been lately. I *know* that it will go lower, probably on SW, but I feel so much better knowing it's "done"....

We'll be arriving at MCO around noon, and returning home from MCO to Philadelphia around 8pm....these are great times! Just hope they don't alter their schedule too much!

We've never flown Air Tran before....any experiences with them that you care to share?

We enjoy AirTran. It's certainly not high class or first class, but as average sized people (and even my pooh sized mom) have no complaints about the size of the seats or cabins. You get free XM radio on your flight (channel 115 is Radio Disney) - headphones are provided free.

Thank you so much Sonya! You are a wealth of info!!

We are flying direct from Philly, so I'm excited about that. There were only 2 or 3 direct flights to choose from, so that's another reason why I booked right away. I just don't like doing layovers....LOL

And thanks for the info for checking in on our return flight. Concierge helped us last year when we were checking into SW...so hopefully we'll have the same luck this time around. Although, I wouldn't mind going to one of the business centers either, if it meant more time to poke around in that particular hotel! *wink*

Littlebit, the $211 (it was $99 O/W plus taxes) is roundtrip, so that's not bad at all. It's more than I've spent in the past, but with the way airfare has been lately, I think I did pretty well.

Now onto making ADR's!!
