We paid $1650 for 2 adults and 2 kids non stop from Toronto to Orlando for november with Westjet. I booked and 5 days later got an email with promo code' could have save additional $135 I was so mad for the whole day lol
Heading down to Port Canaveral for the Disney Fantasy cruise during March Break next year. Booked with Air Canada back in April as soon as the flights were released. A ridiculous price of $970 per person but we didn't want to wait for deals as these were flight times that worked perfectly for our schedule as there are 11 of us flying together.
Of course last week Air Canada sends us all an email to say both our flights there and back have been cancelled and they moved us to a later flight on Friday not arriving until almost midnight and the flight back is at 1pm, which is pretty tight for 11 of us to get back to the MCO airport from the port to make the flight.
Needless to say we are pretty PO'd and now comes the difficulties of trying to change flights for 11 people (2 groups of 4 and 1 group of 3) and ensure we all get on the same flights. And forget any pre-assigned seats we had book, geesh what a mess. Thanks Air Canada!
Very annoying ...
Is it do able for the group to go a day earlier? Recover a day at the start anyway..
I wish we could unfortunately 3 members of our group work for a school board, two of them as teachers which means they will be working on the Friday and are unable to take it off.
There is an earlier flight leaving at 5:15 instead of the 6:40 flight we were originally booked on but it basically requires my DW to be off school property by 2pm. It is very difficult to pre-arrange an early departure on the Friday before March Break since I'm sure all teachers would love the option to vacate the school property as early as possible.
Hi all, I was looking to book Southwest for March break as well. Did not see any cheap flights to MCO, so we decided to change things up and go to Fort Lauderdale. Got one flight for 315.00 CDN and 2 for 345.00 CDN return. Direct flights from Buffalo. Good flight times as well. Only thing now is I am finding hotels a lot more expensive then Orlando!
Can u get a refund from AC? Maybe going to Buffalo on Southwest would work better. Way note flight times and the wait time and security at Pearson you could probably drive to Buffalo and through security in the time that it took u at Pearson.
Or Allegiant from Niagara Falls?
DW is a a teacher here in TO. For March 2013 we did the late SW direct from BUF. DW left school when the bell rang. I had the kids and bags waiting for her and we were on the road to BUF before 4. We were at the airport just after 6 pm. Plane ended up being delayed by about 45 min. Stayed at the MCO Hyatt since we got in so late and used the DCL transfer the next morning to get to the Fantasy. It is doable, but it was stressful.
Thas greenclan67, I've definitely been looking at all options. The SW option out of Buffalo looks reasonable and is under consideration. It's not much cheaper then AC, but the travel time is definitely preferred. I'm a little concerned about a 7:45 flight time though, given we are on starting on the east side of Toronto at best 3:30. 407 definitely helps but still feels very rushed. It's an hour later, but it'd only be another 1h 15m on top of the 40 minute drive to Pearson, not taking into consideration the boarder crossing at 5ish on the Friday of March Break.

I would not even attempt that. I live in Oakville and we allow 4 hours prior to flight time to get to BUF on a normal day(this does give about a 30-40 minute cushion). On that MB Friday, for myself, I would allow 5 hours. I have crossed into the US on a few different holiday-ish weekends and the border wait time can be very bad. The worst I've seen so far was on a Saturday when July 1 was on the Monday....the lines were 2-3 hours long by 10am. There was a large group of us flying to MCO and about half missed the flight.
