Well, I did it...it was a bit more expensive than I had "heard/hoped", but Southwest just opened up their schedule to end of Dec so I booked our cruise flights. So for four of us to go roundtrip from Buffalo to Orlando is $940 USD/~$1272 Cdn. We'll stay the night before in a hotel as we are taking the 7:20 direct flight...so all in all, a much better option than the $2400 Air Canada is quoting for my dates! For those with experience using Southwest, how early should we be at airport, and do you think the prices will drop, and if so, how do I get the reduced fares. Thanks so much. Jo
