Oh nice. This misses every single one of my flight windows.

Thanks for the heads up though!

I got that e-mail today as well. When I booked my flights, it was too expensive for us to fly one-way Toronto-MCO and Tampa-Toronto return. Cheaper just to do round-trip thru MCO so I dropped the idea of spending 2 nights in Clearwater.

With this promotion it would cost me the same as I just paid (a couple of weeks ago) for that RT MCO. (sigh)

I need to stop looking at WestJet now.

I checked last night and it was only about 16 cheaper than the prices today!! Crazy. I don't know If I should wait or book now?? Our dates are Sept 22-28 2019. Advice???

If you are comfortable with the prices you see, book it.

I haven't been in a couple years, I'm not sure if $426 is good or will it go less than 400???

I would be happy with $426 (flying from Ottawa). Even if you're in the Toronto area that seems like a pretty good price for airfare this year. They only way you would get cheaper out of the Toronto area is flying out of Buffalo.

The price may go below $400 but for $26/ticket are you willing to risk it? Forgo the seat selection (paid) and you're indifferent.

We booked yesterday! Our dates weren't included in the birthday sale (Jan 2020) but it was insanely cheap. Vancouver to MCO roundtrip for about $300 per person CAD. We had West Jet points and a companion fare, so we paid $1000 CAD all in!!! Least we've ever paid.

I'm looking at FLL for around the same period, but YYZ-FLL is $2500 for 4.

Meanwhile I'm seeing $1500 round for Transat and it's tempting, but their low number of flights give me pause.

 

[Carolynleanne]

I had zero plans of booking this early, but at $300 CAD per person I had zero issues committing. We usually pay at least $1800 for the five of us from YVR.
