I was eyeing some seats in late August (25th) MCO-ISP. Flights went on sale yesterday, with the "Wanna Go" fare quoted at $161. Talk to the wife, agree to book it and look again - completely sold out, cheapest ticket now almost $500 & significantly more than flying AA in F to LGA.

So, is this an inventory quirk that will be ironed out, or am I likely SOL? This is part of a complex family holiday, so I'm thinking switching to a flight into LGA or JFK is probably the way ahead, rather than try and ride this out.

Any guidance welcome.

Thanks

I see ISP-MCO for as low as $159 on that day (WN 3016). If those times don't work for you I would wait it out.

Edit: My bad. I was looking at ISP-MCO instead of MCO-ISP. I would still wait it out if you can. Cheaper prices are likely to come back for that flight.
