Internal US Flights
Discussion
Is it advisable to pre-book these before going out or are they regular enough that I could book, say the day before I want to go. I'm thinking of going from Orlando to Washington DC mid-way through my holiday then driving up to Boston area to visit friends (making a bit of a road trip of it) but not sure whether I should book the internal flight now or wait until I'm there and see what the price etc is?
Anyone have any experience of this at all?

What he said.
Pre-book, E check-in etc etc.
Internal flights are always overbooked, they run like buses - have a schedule and stick to it.
No matter ow many people are booked on. If the flight is over booked at check-in, the Airlines offer passengers free flight vouchers to stand down and take a later flight - giving up their seat.
If you need to be somewhere at a specific time do everything you can to ensure your seat.

Southwest from Orlando - D.C roughly $69 one way (maybe less if you install the "ding" application from the SW Site).Anyone have any experience of this at all?
Southwest and Jet Blue to my knowledge are not charging the baggage fee (Southwest also allow 2 checked bags for free).
I would also pre-book and check in online 24 hours before the flight.
Avoid AA!!!
When I edit Continental flights, I reserve seats for groups on their onward internal connections. I can be struggling to sit a couple together on a flight in 7 days time.
I had a woman flying on a staff ticket conecting to an internal flight today, it was oversold by 10 commercial passengers and had 16 staff waiting to get on as well.
I'd book in advance !

Def book in advance, and check in early as the yanks really dont care about over booking, have been caught several times over the years, have even been rerouted, flight terminated enroute and been told my luggage was in miami after the flight was halted in Atlanta at midnight, sorry am i b
