Booking Southwest Flights ?

[DisneyGuess]

Right now the rate each way on Southwest for our flights is $99. We're flying out of the Raleigh/Durham Airport.
I know about 2 weeks ago, the rate for our arrival flight was $91 & return was $97 but I couldn't book then.
Should I wait to see if they go back down or should I go ahead & book at the $99 rate?

I know this is a dumb question, but I honestly have never purchased airfare before for a larger group. I want to save as much as possible but I worry the rates will go up instead of back down.
We're 95 days out if that matters.

I would book now and if you do get a DING you can use your credit for your next trip. No way of knowing if you will get a DING. I didn't get a DING for my trip in 11 days and I'm also leaving from RDU.

Chances are low it will go back down. I booked my flight back in March and it has consistently gone up since then. The more bookings the flight gets, the more the price increases.

Book it now!!! I booked a flight for $80 and have since had to change it to a later time the same day, and have yet to see it come down under $129, so don't wait!!!!

I booked a trip for Dec on Aug 3 and it's gone down twice since then. One week the trip to Orlando dropped by $127 and the next week the trip back dropped by $40. But $99 seems pretty good to me, so I think I would go ahead and book it.

We fly SW to MCO out of MSY (New Orleans)--$99 is a good price in my book. I would grab it. We paid $124 I think one way, several months ago for our trip in Oct/Nov.

Booked it!!
Thanks all, I was second guessing myself. But, we're all set!
Airfare booked, really made it feel real!
$1316. not bad for 6 seats.
