Which Airline will still be around at the end of 2009?
Well, we are in a bit of a quandry. We are travelling to Walt Disney World near the end of the year and have our hotel all taken care of, however, airline tickets are cheaper the earlier you book them and we aren't sure which airlines will still be around when we go!
With the economy going into the soup there may be airlines that have been around a while that will be pooping out before the end of the year! This is frankly stressing me out! I checked on Delta's website and found a primo rate of $308.00 per person. Carl didn't want to book it because of the aforementioned problemo. So then two days later the same flight was at $377.00!
Today, it is at $484.00! So what would you all suggest? Make the reservations now with the possiblility that the airline we choose will go under and we are out over a grand, or wait until about 4 months prior to our vacation and risk paying through the nose for our flights?
Again, I am stressing about this and could use any advice you are willing to give! We have until October 7th to decide whether or not to even go! That is the date that our hotel reservations need to be confirmed or cancelled!
Help please!

contact a travel agent. If any airline goes under they will be able to move you to another airline at the same price.
We booked through Expedia for our Hawaii trip. We had the same concerns....I called Expedia customer service and they offer some sort of insurance against this, and said not to worry. I'm still worried, but unless United folds in the next three weeks, We'll be in Hawaii. If it folds in 4 weeks, I won't be able to get back home!! Stranded on a pacific island with the prettiest girl I know doesn't sound too bad
yeah you could use a travel angent...i dont understnad why it costs so much!! i got a flight for 200 a DAY BEFORE I LEFT!! i personally would wait until a month before but i am military..sometimes southwest and priceline have deals....check t out!! sometimes u get it for 49 dollars!!! look weekly until florida comes around than book that flight!!
thanks! I don't think we will book until the flights come down and we get closer to the time we are leaving. I am just hoping we can get there and back at a decent rate!
