Dings Are Out From Aug 1-31

[ro80]

Hey - the SW Dings are out for Aug 1-31!!! FYI

 

[pamjb]

It looks like they aren't as limited for travel dates either. Still don't have a PHL-MCO but I am looking forward to waiting and seeing if I have a Southwest credit in my future

I changed my flights in August to fly into Tampa instead for $44 each way from Manchester, NH. I couldn't resist $428 for the four of us. We were thinking of getting a rental car anyway. I would switch it back to MCO if the right deal came around, which I think it might.

what am I doing wrong... I dont see dings for august.

 

[Daisysmom]

My ding this morning was only for travel through July. What's up with this?? Are they giving different dings in different markets???

 

[laurabelle]

I didn't get one either...what cities were they?

 

[cepmom]

there were 2 Dings today...the first one came around 9:30 AM and was good until 12:30 CDT for 8/1 - 8/31 (at least for Providence...I don't know about other cities).

The other Ding came later on inthe morning and was good until 5:30 PM (I think) for certain dates in July

 

[emmabelle]

I was just about to send the same message Cepmom, but you beat me to it.

 

[cepmom]

anyone that missed yesterday's Ding....the "internet only" rates are down for some dates...go check it out. I just changed my flight home from $122 down to $59

 

[emmabelle]

I wish they would have lowered Manchester to $59, it's still $89 to MCO. I rebooked MHT to Tampa yesterday for $44 each way, but would rather fly into MCO, so the wait continues....

How far are you from PVD? Could you consider just changing the whole trip to PVD - MCO instead?

It's funny....we are just about right in between PVD and MHT (MHT is slightly further than PVD). DH flies a lot for work and refuses to fly out of MHT

We live in Lynn, MA, just north of Boston. I told my husband that we could go from PVD to MCO for another $115 total for the four of us, but he doesn't want to drive to Providence, too much traffic according to him. I guess I have the opposite problem.

emmabelle - where are you flying out of and how far are you from there? I have to say, PVD is one of THE easiest airports to fly out of. They have parking right on sight (the one we use is Pre-flight right down the road with a quick shuttle to the door). After taking my son to Logan when he went to Spain, I will NEVER fly out of there again. I didn't realize just how easy if was to fly out of PVD until I had to go to Boston. The traffic to PVD is not that bad. It's all highway. Give it a shot!!! It's worth the $115, plus with the cheaper flights out not, you may get a credit on your flights!!!

Hi,

We're going to fly out of Manchester and it's actually $115 cheaper for us to go from Manchester to Tampa, got a ding yesterday. Both Manchester and Providence are about the same distance from our house, PVD is about 15 minutes further.

Have you ever had a problem getting a space in the econo-lot at PVD? On PVD's website they mention that they can't always guarantee spaces will be available in their lots.

Are these August fares for a specific market?

I signed up a month or so ago, and have not see any fares offered beyond June. I hear the ding and click on it, but it never is for Phl to Mco in August.

What am I doing wrong?

 

[emmabelle]

They just started offering August dings yesterday so they might not have offered your city yet.

Okay all you savvy travellers - what the heck is a "ding???"
