And yes, I also agree, what are they doing charging those prices (
rev or award) in Aug? They should be
paying people to fly to South FL in August.
MCO-PDX can be
very cheap (low 200s) or very expensive (600s+), rarely is it inbetween. There are only a few flights each day that work (IIRC 2x ATL-PDX & 2x SLC-MCO, you could also use LAX or JFK but those aren't great connecting options).
Call in and see your luck.
Also, it's towards the end of the summer and MCO is
packed... it's a peak time. You might have run into the fact that the saver seats are gone. How are they, price wise, if you wanted to buy them with cash.
