Hi everyone! We have a cruise with carnival on 2/17-2/25 2024. I seem to be able to find the flights, however the cost with any airline is absolutely INSANE. I'm looking at FLL or MIA, coming from MA/CT. These flights are like $1000 round trip! Am i doing something wrong? What happened to flight prices! Typically google has always told me to book 1-3 months ahead of travel, and it's never failed me until now. However, I have been religiously tracking these flights for about 6 months now and the prices have not gone down a smidge. I've got a family of 4 to fly in, i can't imagine paying more for my flights than my vacation itself

Yeah, we would be going out of BDL (Connecticut), though we live in MA, the boston airport is about 3.5 hours away so it tends to be too difficult to fly out of when BDL is about 20 minutes. The last time i flew i think i paid $150pp LOL. That was pre-covid of course. I would arrive a day early if the flight price difference is worth it compared to taking an early bird flight on the day of.

Just a guess - it's called Spring Break. I just did a quick search on Southwest (two bags free - big cruise packing bonus). BOS to FLL on February 16-25 is $727.96 pp. You REALLY want to arrive at least a day early with potential Winter weather issues (yes, there is a hotel cost). Stay an extra day drops to $592.96 pp. These ARE NOT first class seats. I do not know your flight specifics. I do NOT know your departing airport, nor your departing port. Miami and Ft Lauderdale are a few hours apart. Good luck.

I, too, have noticed that prices are high. While we are looking for flights closer to home (non cruise related) they are considerably higher than last year forn the same destination. Wish I knew of a secret that could help. I'll be watching this thread, just in case someone comes up with a good deal. Wishing you good luck.
