So somehow I got lucky and nabbed a 50 cent MCO ticket (around 4:19pm). I found my weekend in May and when I asked about a companion ticket (which I heard were much cheaper on the the int'l flights) she told me $433.50. Now, if I purchased that same flight from usair.com its $223.20 (LGA-MCO). Not such a great deal!
Don't get me wrong, I am in no way .....ing about getting to fly for fiddy cents. The whole "discounted" companion ticket in my situation is ludicrous, so I just want to let people know that they shouldn't assume that the Juniper companion fare is the cheapest.
