I&#39;m showing about 8 flights per day going to Orlando from EWR. Right now, they are WIDE OPEN. (Tue oct 28) I&#39;d suspect they should be good at least till Thanksgiving. Just go through security, and go right to the gate, and sit down. Don&#39;t even go to the ticket counter. They&#39;ll call your name after everyone is loaded up. If you miss it by any chance because they filled up, they&#39;ll automatically roll you over to the next flight. You may then go up there and verify if they in fact will roll you over. (They usually do automatically.) Don&#39;t give up because that is what other&#39;s hope for in your shoes. Stay there till you get on or you get bumped absolutely.[/b]
Thank you so much for letting me know this. I don&#39;t like not knowing how to do things, so all this is invaluable to me.

I definitely can&#39;t give up on getting on a flight - we&#39;re meeting up with family in Orlando

Just one more (potentially dumb) question. Would I have to go to the ticket counter if I need to check bags in? Also, what happens if I don&#39;t get on the flight and roll to the next - would my bags go without me?

Thanks everyone for being so helpful and friendly - I&#39;m feeling so much more at ease about everything now
