BDL SWA Flyers - wdyt?

[LittleStinkerbelle]

If you fly SWA out of BDL--what do you think of this price-- $115 each way (non-stop) for late January. I haven't bought tix on SWA since last year so I haven't been keeping up on the prices but I'm thinking that doesn't seem too bad . Thanks for any input!

Sounds good to me. IIRC, we paid about $300 rt nonstop last June. I have a request in with Yapta to tell me when the Delta fares drop and they just went down to about $310 round trip. So, $115 each way seems like a pretty god deal. Congrats & enjoy your trip!

Thanks! Maybe I'll jump on this. The price has already dropped $6 each way since I started looking yesterday so it's always the quandry over whether to wait for it to keep dropping or just go for it. Worse comes to worse I'll have credits, right.

As of now Delta is showing a round trip fare for late Jan. on its great non-stops to MCO of $262 including tax and fees. We love their non-stop first thing in the morning and then the last one back in the early evening. We have never had a problem with them and they are always right on time.

Thanks!

I asked DH if he wanted to book or wait to see if it goes lower and he said he's not a gamblin' man so we booked the SWA flight.

$115 is not bad, but I would keep watching it. Since you've booked you can always rebook and take the credit (if you can use the credti for a future flight) We're looking to fly down 2/4-2/9 and I'm going to try and hold out for under $100 OW.
For our October trip (10/24/10/29)I first booked when flights were released at $115. That was 4/14. On 7/7 I was able to rebook for $90. $90 is about the cheapest I've seen for BDL-MCO in the last year or so.
Enjoy your trip!

I travel a bit farther (for us) and take either jetblue or Airtran out of Whiteplains- much much cheaper- last I looked it was around 70 each way for them

im nup in ma right now - flew up from orlando last wed at $99 - didnt book a return flight yet as i have a divorce court date this mon. if court gets delayed dont want to have a flight booked. However i am looking at flights next wed and finding 234 as cheapest. Id look for another airline but southwest allows 2 free check in bags, 50 for each bag after that. Bought a 3rd check in bag as im in the process of moving to fl

Thanks -- I'll keep watching . A credit is always a good excuse to plan another trip.

We've done HPN before too and love JetBlue. But for HPN we need to take a car service there, so when I add in that cost it comes out more expensive than SWA out of BDL, even though JetBlue's fares are much cheaper. I wish we had someone who could drop us off because the parking situation makes me worry about driving ourselves.

I would book it. However, keep an eagle's eye on the DING. They get snapped up pretty quickly. I missed out on DING for my return trip even though I was within the timeframe. It was listed as Unavailable.

Don't be too hard on yourself - sometimes they just don't offer them for certain days or flights within the DING window. The other day a DING popped up and I went immediately to check out ALB-MCO, but only one flight was available - and it was the worst one of the day (2 stops). Meanwhile for my sister's flights for BHM-MCO were ALL offered at awesome DING prices, but I had used a 20% off code to buy hers so even the $76 each way DING fares were only a $24 total savings - not worth losing the $30 I'd spent for ECBI for her flight home.

But it's definitely good advice to watch carefully for them because they do go fast!

I was disappointed because I checked early before going to work a.m. and as soon as I returned from work at 3 p.m. I have internet at work but they have strict guidelines. Even though the DING offered was for every flight..gone...nada...every DING was listed as unavailable Next time, maybe DH can take his computer to work and check for DINGS. Live & learn...
