My dates are 8/3- 8/18. I also fly PHL to MCO but I prefer Frontier even with baggage fees and seat fees they are cheaper than Southwest. And choosing my seat is what I prefer anyway. Back in Feb, Frontier had our flights from PHL to MCO at only $86 on Friday or $66 on Saturday. I hadn't confirmed my off-site resort yet, so I was afraid to book in case I had to change my dates.
The very next day I got my confirmation for my resort and wouldn't you know it, those cheap airfare prices were gone. Either one would have worked. Fly in Friday nite and pay $86 or fly in first thing Saturday morning for only $66.
I could have kicked myself for missing out on those fares.
I hope they come around again. I am hopeful I may see something below $100 around mid-May.
