It's March and I'm flying at the end of July. They normally WILL lower their fares down from what they're at right now.

Southwest soaks you during the Saratoga meet

I was a regular on the the Tampa-Louisville and Tampa-Ft Lauderdale route. I hate Southwest

[dellinger63]

If I was your size I'd probably hate being squeezed into that center seat as well (we're almost always late checking in) but being of compact stature it's not too bad, at least for me. Plus they are rarely delayed which is a huge problem with other carriers in and out of Chicago especially O'Hare.

I love Southwest, normally. I always fly them direct when I go into Nashville and normally get great airfare. So much for that idea going to Albany! LOL

If you're renting a car anyway, it may be worth checking out flying into Hartford (2 hrs from Saratoga) or even Boston (3 hrs). If nothing else, it's more likely you'll find a direct flight into one of those cities than into Albany from Orlo, Tampa or WPB.

SW flys direct from Orlando to Albany and also flys West Palm to Albany with a change in Baltimore

Thanks for the info, Bruce. I may go ahead and book a flight to Hartford and change it if the fare goes lower to Albany.

Looking for a place right now myself. This will be our fourth Travers weekend - assuming I land a place we can afford.

Best vacation of the summer, hands down.
