Anyone buy packages from the airlines?

[coastgirl]

I am usually an a la carte kind of girl, but the Southwest website seemed to have a package that covered free dining and had a better airfare than I can get just buying the flights right now. (MHT-MCO not looking cheap at this point for free dining period.) I didn't really drill down in the package costs yet, though. Also wondering if Westjet or Airmiles might be useful, though preliminary look isn't great on dates.

So, anyone buy a package that helped get cheaper flights while still being the best "land" portion deal? (Within the context of me being a deal hound and usually holding out for things like the $49 Ding!.)

Anyone know if it's worth it to use Airmiles as partial payment on a package?
