Airfare for October

[kimpossible]

FOr those of you who travel in Oct. Does Southwest ever release web specials for Phillie to MCO at this time of Year?

omg! they sure do! we went end of Sept into early Oct. 06 and paid $49 each way. we had a ding for $35 down but we had to change our dates due to unexpected change in dh's work schedule. I found another ding for $49 but was sad to give up that $35 fare!
I've seen dings in the last month for $29 to MCO or TPA.
We're going again in Sept. (with credits generated from dings from our Feb. trip!) and hoping to get something that cheap. Makes $49 seem high! lol!
keep watching and good luck!

Thanks. I was hoping s-one would say that. Wat do you have as your cities? Under Phille and Orlando, nothing comes up for us.

Southwest doesn't have fares and schedules out past August 24 at this point. Historically, those dates have been released in the April/May time frame, so it could happen at any time or it could be a little while.

Also the Dings generally get released 1-2 mos in advance. When SWA released their Oct. dates, don't expect to see any dings for Oct. until at least July/August.

The whole purpose of ding fares is to sell seats that aren't selling for whatever reason so any peak times like Easter week or xmas, you'll be lucky to get a seat so forget dings.
Oct. is low season in WDW so you should get a great ding.

I list Philly, Orlando and Tampa Bay. It's only 1 hr. west and really easy drive.
