I just got an email that my Jan flight home has changed,,,, but to be honest I love the new change---arriving home at 10pm instead of 1:45 am the following day.

Anyone know if it's better to hold off and book the car rental closer to the time? Usually we do it at the same time as we book our flights but this year it sure doesn't look like they're offering us any big savings to do so.
We always do two one way flights (usually Air Canada the way down, Air Transat the way back). Never had any issues! We save lots of $$ and get the exact flight times we want by flying two different airlines. No advice on the rental car as we always take the Magical express. But for other travel destinations we have had good luck with costco ratesWow. This is good to know. We were getting ready to book for the Nov. 27 to the Dec. 7 (or maybe 8) period -- with flying WestJet. But now I think we'll wait a week or two to see/hope they've released and settled their winter schedule a bit more fully.
Right now it was looking like we'd fly down on WJ and back on Air Transat (not sure how I feel about that ...).
We'd prefer to go the mid-morning/late-morning flights (YYZ-MCO, MCO-YYZ) both ways so that we don't have to be at the airport too early or arrive back to Canada too late, as we do have a good drive from the airport.
My feeling is that WJ usually has their "big" semi yearly "sale" around the end of August too. Not sure it's any more "savings" than any of their other "sales" are either but have been waiting on that too. Anxious about it ... wanting to get a good price locked in.

The part that bugs me is that WJ didn't contact me at all about the change despite the fact we had booked directly with them and had our email on file and we had confirmed full-fare Plus seats booked. They still didn't let us know about the change. They still manage to send us every single offer under the sun -- at least once or twice a week. If they change flights and they have my email address (and I have always had set my comm preferences so they should contact me about changes) .... I should hear about changes to my itinerary from them.... not a Disboard thread. Anything less is completely lousy service. What I have received for paying my full fare months in advance for their Premium Plus price is lousy service - which not OK in any way. I don't see us paying the WJ Plus level premium for this lousy service again in the future.
