Remember for Disney's Magical Express (free transfers from/to the Orlando International Airport and your Disney Resort with delivery of you luggage directly to your resort room) it does not matter what airline you use.

To take advance of Disney's Airport Check-In Service for your return flight (you get your boarding pass and check your luggage in your resort lobby instead of at the airport) you must be flying on American Airlines, Continental, Delta, Song, United Airlines, or Ted.

Check out song, they have great fares and do them soon because all airlines just rause fares

Generally speaking the best days to check on airfare is Tuesday and Wednesday's. For some reason those are the days of the week when airfare goes down and fares tend to go up closer to and over the weekends.

I'm currently seeing United and US Air offering round trip fares of $176 from Phily to Orlando non stop. I don't believe Song flies out of Phily.

Try going to www.itasoftware.com for low fare searches.

On the home page, they have a link in the top right corner of the page that will bring you to a low fare search engine. Enter in you desired itinerary and you'l get a listing of the cheapest fares available. The search is not biased meaning the results are truly based on lowest fares and not skewed towards specific carriers. You can't book through the site but they do provide all the fare information needed to book through your agent or through the airline itself. Check it out!! :sohappy:

Referring to travel days here correct? It's generally cheapest to fly on a Tuesday or a Wednesday most likely because they are the least desireable days for leisure travel. As far as days when airlines will change fares. This generally happens at will based apon availability and demands.

No not travel days, but the days of the week when the best deals are offered for purchase. I guess they figure folks don't have much time on those days to check out travel deals as they do on the weekends. I recall on time checking an airfare on Wednesay and the r/t was $115, the very next day Thursday, it doubled, same dates and times and both outbound and return were on weekend days. I think it is a big game they play with airfares and the winner is "he who has time to keep checking."
