We are going in November, too and saw the rates are up today. They are really high on the Air Tran site, but are decent on Orbitz and Expedia. I know the company website will change prices, too. They usually are about the same as the websites I mentioned above. I think the prices just must be "filler" for now and will come down.
I am debating going ahead with booking, as it looks like $127 per person one way from Harrisburg, PA to MCO, non-stop. I think the days of $79 airfare are gone, although I saw it for mid-week travel for September, PHL to MCO the other day.(on Air Tran)
To Finallyin09: No worries! I've flown with AirTran for years, and I've run into your situation a number of times...you know, I would look for flights on a Wednesday morning and they'd be $79 each way, but by Saturday morning, the price would jump to $127+!! Here are a few suggestions:
1. When looking for flights, browse on weekday mornings, early morning.
2. If the airline is offering a special (like AirTran was earlier this week, if you were to fly out of BWI), sometimes there are lower rates out of ALL the airports AirTran uses!
3. Keep track of flight prices...when I would book for my December trips, I'd usually have our flights booked by May. However, I would randomly look at AirTran's website at my particular flight and twice I've found that my flight actually fell by $20 each way!! (I think this was in the fall, only 3 months out from my scheduled trip). I then called an AirTran rep and asked if they honored price drops, which they do, and I'd receive credit to be used toward booking other flights, seat upgrades or paying for baggage!!:sohappy:
I hope this helps a little!! Oh, December flights should be out by May!

I didn't realize they did this......I'm really tempted to book at $109 out of Rochester NY....
Today I saw $89 each way on Air Tran, PHL to MCO for November! Non-stop! Now I have to decide if going out of Harrisburg is worth the extra $$. Or should I just go out of Philly??? Ahhh!
