Southwest,are you lucky??

[tink2dw]

Is anyone getting the $79. fares at www.southwestair.com?? I have tried every date and it keeps giving me that stupid computer grin. I just want to scream when I see it. I have lost hope of ever getting a low fare there!!!:( :( :( :( :( :( :(

I guess we are lucky. Albany, NY to Orlando in Nov for $89.50 r/t. Hartford to Orlando in Oct for $75 r/t. Thanks to the low fares we get to go twice. Oct is a business trip and the family will come along. Nov is pure vacation. Hope you get lucky too.

Well, I was pretty lucky. I reserved the internet one-way rate for November and am only paying $167 for two RT tickets. That is total with all taxes. The rates were around $36 each way. Keep trying!!

If you are getting that stupid computer grin..is there any chance you are trying to book past Jan 11, the last date they are taking bookings? I just tried The week leading up to Christmas, from Albany, and it's still a nice cheap rate, as long as you leave on and return on Tuesday. Even if they are full, I get a screen showing that...I only get the computer grin, if I try to go past Jan 11!

I didn't buy during the last "internet sale" thinking my $147 rate from Birmingham, AL, would surely go down a little more, since I've seen it around $100 or less many times in the past. But no such luck, it actually went up a few dollars!:eek: The fare is now $154 round trip.:mad: :rolleyes: I'm still keeping my fingers crossed since we aren't going until after Thanksgiving.

When you get that "grin" what does the message say? Usually the message will answer your question.

[tink2dw]

The Computer grin says "that rate not available"

Found out, after a phone call to Southwest that they are off line from 11pm to 1am pacific time every night!! So no search works!!! Well, due to teenage Dd ,thats the time I start searching !!

Tonght I went on at 10:30pm and got the $79.[more like $88. oneway and $175.rt.] for the same dates I was using last night.

Computers????

[GAIL HAYDEN]

Glad you got the good rate!!!! Guess we know when they do their backup, thanks. Nothing wrong with their computers, in fact, it shows good maintainance.

[Beanie]

I am so glad you were able to get the rate that you wanted!! :) Gail, I agree about the maintainance!:)

I found $75/rt pp ns direct flights from BDL (Bradley~CT) to MCO (Orlando) for September
and December! We're flying in Oct-Nov at $93/rt pp ns direct.

My dh and I had a hard time picking (this was last week). So we decided to do both! Are they still promoting the "Fly 4 get 1 free?"

We booked the 6 tickets on line and was told that we were entitled to a free SWA tix the next time we book! Yay!

Last time I checked (a few days ago) it was still offered. Also, from BDL to Washington, DC is $30 each way or $60/rt! What a deal................

I just got $130 r/t for sept from isp

Does anybody know if Southwest flies out of Newark, NJ? I went to their site and NJ isn't listed so I am assuming I'm out of luck. Thanks, Carolyn

[GAIL HAYDEN]

What they list is what they have. Unfortunately, Newark is not one of them. BUT....how far are you from LI?

[goofyandmore]

Thanks but I think Long Island would be too far, about an hour and a half verses 25 minutes to Newark. Thanks, Carolyn

[GAIL HAYDEN]

I see your point. :) Our ride to Bradley is about 45 mins. But, have no problem trekking to Providence, 90 mins, if the fares are truly a savings.
