I've been getting lots of Denver Dings, too. Maybe no one is going there because of the snow (or SW is wooing the locals to escape the snow) and they are trying to fill a lot of empty seats.

 

[Fionasmommy]

Are they just to Denver for from Denver as well?

I watched DING for months hoping for DEN-MCO and never got it.

 

[2Princes2Princesses]

To and from. And it is now 4 days.

No offense to anyone in Denver, but I don't want to go there. I live in Buffalo and know what snow looks like! I want warm!!!

 

[bonzarella]

I don't know about Denver to MCO but up now is MCO to Denver $62-$71. I don't have Denver in as a home airport but do have MCO.

 

[lyzziesmom]

My home airport is Kansas City and I've also been getting nothing but Denver Dings. Where's the MCO Dings??

'Southwest effect' brings $28 fares to Denver
To help mark its one-year anniversary out of Denver, Southwest "is launching a sale today featuring one-way tickets from Denver to several cities for as little as $28," the Rocky Mountain News writes. Those prices, the paper writes, are "among the lowest airfares offered here in recent memory." The sale fares will be offered through Southwest's download-only "Ding!" application, with the lowest $28 fares available to Phoenix, Las Vegas, Salt Lake City and Kansas City. But Southwest's one-year anniversary fare sale may simply be heralding the advance of a big ramp-up in Denver.

Southwest resumed its Denver service Jan. 3, 2006, with 13 flights to just three cities. Today, the carrier has 33 non-stop flights to nine cities from Denver, and the carrier appears to have big plans for growth there. Southwest CEO Gary Kelly tells The Denver Post that even 50 flights out of Denver "isn't enough for a market of that size," though he adds that the airline will grow cautiously and in a "reasoned way." Just how big could Southwest get in Denver? Kelly points out Southwest has more than 200 daily departures in Las Vegas, Phoenix and Chicago, and more than 150 from Baltimore. "I think that is the potential for Southwest Airlines in Denver," Kelly says to the Post. But, he adds "that's a theoretical answer" and says Southwest is "many years away from that, probably."

For now, Southwest already has announced plans to add a fifth gate at Denver this March, and additional gates could be coming soon. "In the near term, a sixth or seventh ... would support a fairly significant number of flights. That would roughly double our flight capacity," Kelly tells the Post. That could be good news for Denver fliers, with airport officials saying that they have already noticed Southwest's impact after a full year of Denver service. "Fares on flights to and from Denver have dropped, passenger levels have risen, and the airport's two biggest carriers — United Airlines and Denver-based Frontier Airlines — have had to make changes to compete," The Associated Press writes. "The Southwest effect, we think, has happened," Turner West, the airport's aviation manager, says to The Denver Post. Still, United is the top airline with 54% of the market, followed by Frontier (19%) and Southwest (4%).

The only thing I have is Denver from SEA! I told DH a week or so ago we should go to Denver that it'll be cheap - I was right, who knew!?

 

[MouseyMin]

A regular DING came through a little while ago - Jackson, Manchester, and San Diego to/from Orlando. There is a separate one for Denver which came out this morning.

 

[ro80]

If I get one more DING to Denver I'm going to scream Let's go Tampa!!

 

[CarolA]

The theory on www.flyertalk.com is that we are in for 7 days of Denver Dings. No idea if the theory is correct.

 

[vacation dreamer]

Because if any of us want to see and play in the snow this year we need to go to Denver!!!! lol

 

[dopeyfanatic]

I'm coming from CA, but I had a Ding for Ft. Lauderdale, Baltimore and Phoenix. I also had the Denver Ding....

 

[MiaSRN62]

PHL is my home airport and I've also gotten 3 days of Denver DINGS ! Have no desire to go there with that awful weather.........I'd be afraid I'd spend most of my time stuck in the airport with weather delays !

 

[Aquagirl]

I have had nothing but Denver Dings for almost a week and I have about 6 airports listed. Do you think that something is wrong with the system or are the only listing Dings to the Denver area. It seems kind of strange!

 

[CarolA]

Keep checkiing. I just got a second DING today and it had lots of other cities.

 

[bonzarella]

UGHHHHHHHH!!!! Denver---- go away

 

[chickie]

Keep checking.....I've gotten a few extra Dings with additional cities throughout the day....none from St. Louis to MCO though!

BTW, Southwest's weekly special is Orlando/Disneyworld. Make sure to check those prices also.....St. Louis is STILL $159 each way on the dates we want to go!!!
