Re airfare....
recent SWA sale really was much ado about nothing with prices back to where they started on release day for dates I checked.
Booked with plan B (spirit) for fall trip two months or so ago. Not my favorite by any means but, when I have ‘extra’ family along, often my default if the total out-the-door price is 2/3rds less than SWA.
Nice to see so many here are pinning down their trip details!
