Too late to airport
Saw a flight mco to cle for a date i been looking at. It dropped to $50. GREAT!! I get out to the airport the price went up significantly. Had to change to a diff date to get a reasonable price. Still coming out cheaper then going with a legacy airline. Did the Works for the first time. Would have saved $20 doing a la cart but could get the stretch seats with the extra $20

Next time you see a fare online, input that you want to purchase 5 tickets and see if it will sell you that many. If it says it would, then you know there are at least 5 seats for sale at that price. If asking for 5 seats ends up with a higher price quote, you know there are less than 5 seats remaining at that price. You can then try 4, 3, 2, 1 etc. to see how many seats are actually still available at that lowest price. If it's just a few, by online while you can. If there's plenty, you may have time to buy them at the airport counter.
