Relatively certain Southwest doesn't schedule overnight flights.wish Southwest had red eye flights to MCO from any of our airports.
But what isn't?It is definitely more than I paid last year

SW for us has taken away many non stops and some have 1 a day, but not even all year. We too are flying other carriers now.. been with them for years, cardholders as well...
Disappointing
My family has stopped flying SWA in the past year. We can fly on American for less even with the baggage fees. SWA has also cut way back on non-stop flights from our airport to three a day. American offers twice as many non-stops to Orlando. I really like SWA's personnel better than American's but the bottom line is that it is less than a 2 hour flight and it's almost $100/pp cheaper on AA.
We fly in September on SW PHL - MCO for less than $60 one way. SW does still have cheap fares but it is not working out for us this time. But every airline is more expensive then usual.
I wonder if they are still hedging their bets due to the government shutdown.
We flew into Tampa last year and saved 200/pp. Might be worth it even including shuttle or 1way car rental ?Goodness, it's looking like our March trip may cost us $700+ pp just for flights. There are 6 of us, so that's a chunk! Is there any way they'll go down before then? We may as well do Hawaii!
Oh wow, I didn't realize that about United! Unfortunately, Jet Blue doesn't even fly to/from our state, Kansas, so our options are limited. Such is life in the middle of nowhere! lol.I usually use Kayak to check fares on a regular basis. It however does not show SWA flights so you have to check separately for them.
I think out the airlines that are doing the "Basic Economy" route where you have to pay for everything etc. Jet Blue has the best model. It gives you atleast a carry on bag and complimentary seat assignment. United doesnt even give you a carry on bag.
Not sure of your area but Im literally equal distance between Philadelphia and New York so I have a lot of options for originating airport. PHL has to be SWA or American. And EWR has to be SWA, United or Jet Blue (cheap fare wise)
