Should I Buy My Tickets to Orlando Now or Wait?

We are leaving from DC to Orlando on June 16. The fares are around $250+. Should I wait a little bit for a better deal or should I just buy now?

Will fares go down?

It is getting late. Not too many players in the DC area except United. Go to www.orbitz.com and check the seating of the flight you are interested in. How full is the flight? Most airlines like the flight to be 90% full two weeks before departure.

If you're willing to travel mid-week SWA has some promotional one way fares for mid-June from BWI - MCO (nonstop) for as little as $49 OW. Otherwise, I'm expecting fares to go down much - anywhere.

Well, that should be "I'm NOT expecting..."

Exactly $250 is an okay fare. If you wait, you may save $50; or you may have to pay $250 more on the flight you want.

Buy it.

Thanks for the advice!

We are planning to go from Philly to Orlando in Dec. I hope to get a lower fare on Southwest. My daughter and family will be coming from DC, and will look into 'Ted' also.
