April 2012 Airfares

[Jbizek]

I traveled alone with my daughter a lt when she was a baby, and once we missed our connection and had a 7 hour wait. An airport is a fine place to entertain a little one for a day, she loved all the sights and sounds, plenty of places for her to crawl around and explore, we ate a nice sit down lunch ( with a glass of wine for moms nerves ) hit the bookstore, etc. it wasn't ideal but it sure wasn't a big deal either. It's all in your attitude! Now being stuck in Sangster well that's a different ball of wax!

Thanks Bro. D. Checking the flights individually, the flight going is less than $200. The killer is the flight coming back!!! I'm gonna probably just suck it up and pay the premium for a non-stop flight. Daniel's comfort is more important. The mom in me knows this but the cheapskate/deal hunter in me says the price can be and should be cheaper!!!!

[Delta]

Thanks Jbizek! That's what I needed, a mom that has done it. I'm still holding out hope that the price will decrease some in the next week or so. Clarity I don't think I have the patience or the nerves of steel to wait til the end of the month!

Yes hun... when you fly a connecting flight back you have to go through immigration, grab your luggage, go through customs, recheck your luggage and then go back through security and to your gate. If you go through a large airport like Miami or Atlanta...it can take about an hour or more to do all of that.

AND if you purchase any liquor or liquid items that you carried on the plane you will have to put that in your luggage before rechecking.

Delta – I agree, It sounds like a direct flight would be the best way to go with the little one!
I hope you find a good deal for April!
If a better deal pops up, some airlines will refund you the difference.

I’ll just sit here alone, waiting with my “nerves of steel” until the end of the month lol!

Shaggy – Wow! That IS a lot for a round trip ticket. Where are you flying from?

Does anyone know the Airtran discount code off-hand?

[Jbizek]

Glad to help! My daughter has always been an exceptional traveler but Airports are like malls and quite a few have play areas now. Hopefully it will all go smooth for you but if it doesn't you will be fine. Also having a baby can help if you do miss a flight we were given priority.

It sucks...I fly from LAX..non-stops been gone when Air Jam. left the scene..But cant believe the rates this time..$150-200 more than I usually pay..I was going go in Mar-but said screw it-after i saw the deals Virgin air had non-stop to cancun(which IM NOT going too BTW-going south to Tulum)..But i do have to go in end of June and still waiting for those fares to come down...I even got better fare rt non-stop to San Juan,Puerto Rico in April-by $200 less than what the cheapest flight is to MBJ or KIN...If this keeps up I will be going less to Jam than I usually do every year.
