Wow! Sounds Great! You better gobble up two of them right-a-way! Did you check Air Tran or Southwest? Again, I'd check on a Tuesday - those are the cheapest days to fly, and the prices usually drop about a two to three weeks before. I hope you don't get caught up in the spring break flights. |

Oh yeah. I'm dashing right out to grab those... 
I'm sure spring break is what's killing us. Air Tran is what we came down on a couple weeks ago, I'll continue to check. I can't get on Southwest unless I go to Chicago Midway. Ick.  |

I've been lucky. They both fly in and out of both Ft. Myers and Baltimore, so they are healthy competition for each other. The flights are usually booked though, so they must be doing O.K. |

How about Direct Air or Allegiant?

These are both "discount" airlines that service Punta Gorda and Sarasota (among other places). We have them in Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo, direct flights on nice planes for about $250. Do you have any airports near you with those airlines? I think Rockford, IL has one of them..... |

We can get Air Tran in Milwaukee, that's not a problem. But we can only get Southwest at Chicago Midway. Again, ick. |
