After the smoke clears, $420 RT is still going to look like a good price compared to the $700+ which was the only choice an hour ago.

I think Spirit is offering one way fare with 1 stop in Fort Lauderdale and then one more flight from Fort Lauderdale to Orlando for $139 W tax. Trick part is you have to leave terminal two in MSP take the red eye and leave at 01:15 AM in the morning 01/01/15 and arrive in Orlando about 07:40AM after the flight to Fort Lauderdal. That is if you "luck out" and Spirit doesn't end up having engine trouble on one of their beater plains and cancelling you and you end up stranded. Then take the Sun Country flight back for $210 W tax at 11:20 PM.Plus direct. No doubt Sun Country is stepping up here.
I was a victim of hesitating as I was trying to see if my brother would go and by the time he gave the thumbs up, it as lonnnggg gone, ding dong. So, if the saints and angels at SunCountry have any more tricks up their sleeves and can pull another rabbit out of the hat for $210, I will take four please...I'm good for the cash so just put them on reserve...sincerely, John of Chaska! Dammit I wanted to go...sniff, sniff-tissue anyone?

Got a million tissues here.
Are they sitting next to your economy sized bottle of lotion?

This tweet, from who I believe is GopherLady's friend NateDawgUM here on Gopherhole, says it perfectly on this topic.
When I started to book the trip around 4:30PM the cost was $456 for two tickets w/ fees with a departure date of 12/30 and a return on 1/4. By the time I typed in the CC information the deal was no longer available and a "system" error popped up.
Right now a deal can be had with a 12/31 departure and 1/7 return for $$338 per ticket or so, which is not a bad idea if you have a few days to spare. I cannot handle eight days in Orlando, but may still go for the deal, with the intent of driving over to the gulf or ocean for a few days after the game.
These Sun Country deals are still very reasonable.

Maybe if enough additional people show interest they can work on getting more flights? Email, call, twitter ...
Sun Country just added six flights, with airfare still running $200-300 cheaper than it was at lunchtime. This is it.

THIS. Times a million. I'm sorry, I really don't feel bad for all of you booking at $420, that's a GREAT price. The idiots that said $700-1000 was fair were just that, idiots. But this, is extremely fair and a great price. I'd love, just once, to get a discount for being die-hards, sacrificing a lot to book early, pay a ton, and make sure we go to the 1st New Year's bowl game in my lifetime. It would be nice to be appreciated, and reap some kind of loyalty benefits just once...but that's a fairy land in Gophers world!
