What happens with those airlines if your flight is affected due to winter weather?
I had a Jet Blue flight do that to me once... it was a one flight in and out situation and it had us coming home at 4:30 pm and 2 months later it changed to coming home at 7 am. I was NOT happy.
I'm also looking at certain hours. I don't want to be driving to/from the airport in the dark so that might be why.
The 2 flights on Delta are both $182rt per person. I haven't flown Delta lately, not sure about bag fees. These might be the times that don't interest you.THANKS!!! Hopefully he sees it the same way! haha I haven't found that Delta flight. Although I'm also looking at certain hours. I don't want to be driving to/from the airport in the dark so that might be why. I am still holding off on booking air. Eeek!
Yeah, $933 for two people is crazy high and nowhere near "budget".did you check all the airports in the area: PVD, BOS,BDL (Hartford), MHT (Manchester)?
Jet Blue has soon pretty good fares right now out of Boston, I see $933 total for 2 people in "Blue" fare class where you can choose your seats in advance, cheaper prices depending on what time you want to fly.
Yeah, $350-$450rt seems closer to the 'budget' deal range for 2 ppl from BOS area.Yeah, $933 for two people is crazy high and nowhere near "budget".
You might want to check out Freebird (getfreebird.com). It's a type of travel insurance where if your flight gets cancelled or delayed by 4 hours they will rebook you on another carrier. I used it flying home from MCO-ORD on the Monday of Veteran's Day weekend. It was $19/person each way and I booked it since I was trying Spirit. At around 11am I got a text from them that my Spirit flight was going to be 3 hours delayed. About 20 minutes later Spirit's website showed the delay as 5 hours. I then replied to the text saying it was now a 5 hour delay. Freebird then sent me a link which had a ton of rebooking options. We ended up booking Delta thru Atlanta and got home that day. There was no additional cost to me. My Spirit flight along with the remaining AA/UA nonstop all ended up getting cancelled.
When I looked at the receipt for the tickets on Delta.com the total for 2 people was $2200. One segment was actually in first class. I think my Spirit days are over, but if i do fly them (or Frontier or Allegient) I would absolutely use Freebird. Their website has a good video showing how it works. I can confirm it is as easy as they say it is.
One tip on Spirit is to only check one checked bag and share. No need to pay for two checked or carryon bags when I bet you can get all your stuff in 1 checked and a couple backpacks.
Well I booked travel insurance when booking my flight... would I really need 2 types of insurance? I've never gotten insurance before for a flight. But warnings against Spirit coupled with New England weather in January led me to buy it this time for peace of mind. Also, that's exactly what I did... 1 checked bag for both of us to share. We're only going for 3 nights so I will put some money saving snacks in to go down and have room in there after for souvenirs.
From what I read, Spirit was tied for first place in On Time flights. Forbes also said they were trying to improve their image and was doing a lot of work on fixing what's broke.It would depend on the type of coverage the insurance you bought provides. I like Freebird because it provides the ability to buy last minute, walk up fares at the flat $19 charge per leg. I don't know too many travel insurance policies that do.
Hopefully your flights are right on time and all this is moot! We are going January 11th to 20th so also hoping for good flying weather!
When you fly such few flights, it is easy to be first in on time flights.From what I read, Spirit was tied for first place in On Time flights. Forbes also said they were trying to improve their image and was doing a lot of work on fixing what's broke.
Keeping fingers crossed!!
