With AirTran now more under the Southwest umbrella, are they still charging for luggage? If i book AirTran and want to switch to a Southwest flight can I use the same funds? TIA!

I received a one time e-mail code this morning to be used by Monday, March 25th. Please PM if you are interested.

 

[jenseib]

You should probably take that down and just let people know you have a code and they can pm you for it.

I also have the code for 20% off. I booked with points so I figure it won't help me. It doesn't say it can't be transferred, so PM me if you want it, and hopefully it works for someone else!

I'll be travelling today, so after the next couple hours I won't be online till later in the day but I'll respond when I can.

 

[ksloane]

Wish I could book, but it says round trip required, and I book our trips separate.

I have an emailed code for 20% off for flights April 3 thru June 8, 2013. Booking must be done by Monday. If anybody wants it, PM me as it can only be used once. First come, first served.

 

[jenseib]

I got one too. They must've sent a ton out today. First time I ever got a code. now I wish I had someplace to go.

We live about 14 hour drive from Orlando...taking a trip in September (2nd week)..I am on the hunt for the best deal! I figure if we are willing to pay $500 a night for all Disney has to offer, why not eek out another $800 or so to try and get the 5 of us down there instead of blowing two vacation days driving for 14 hours, plus it wrecks my back!!

Have not searched for airline tix in over 5 years, I was a pro..staying up on Monday nights at midnight, having all the major airline pages up at the same time and watching those specials pop in...nabbed Atlanta to Barcelona (for a Disney cruise) for under $400 a ticket! Have flown Atlanta to London for under $200...and our best deal ever was Birmingham to Orlando for $38 round trip!! I know those days may be gone, but really need to maximize my savvy searching $$ deals.

Can anyone share the lowest round trip nabbed to Orlando in the past year? (From any market really) We can fly from Nashville, Huntsville or Birmingham...Southwest is looking like the best option...I will go on their website now and try to sign up for the coupon thing y'all are talking about.

Any other tips?
Thanks!!

$79 from Dallas in October.

I am assuming the answer to this is pretty self explanatory but what's the difference between "unavailable" and "sold out"? Prices for my June trip are still will high and they don't seem to be moving even with today's sale

I noticed no price difference with todays sale as well.

Same here. My Oct fares are still the same.

 

[ksloane]

Same here. My Oct fares are still the same.

My June is fare is even more expensive than last week.

Thankfully mine dropped $23/ticket round trip with the sale but it was a combo of SW/AirTran. Just a tip...the AirTran leg of the flight was cheaper on Airtran's website than on Sw's site for the exact same flight

 

[BeccaG]

So if my memory serves me correct now the price on my return flight dropped by 68 dollars, the day after the sale was announced... which of course makes me wonder if I'm crazy and it's the exact same price and I'm remembering wrong! I guess I should be logging the prices!

I don't keep a log, but I do keep what I paid (and reduce it if I get a credit) on my calendar on the date of the flight.

I booked on Southwest for a flight that is really Airtran. I am wondering about the luggage. Will I have to pay Airtran's fees or will I get two free bags because the ticket was bought on Southwest? Has anyone actually done this and not had to pay Airtran fees?
