Good Airfare deal from PVD to MCO

[SkaterMouse]

Not sure if this is the right place but just thought I'd let everyone know that Southwest Airlines is running a rate of $49.00 each way between PVD and MCO... good thru mid-September (and I'm sure subject to availability) - I just booked for a Labor Day weekend trip..

Sweet deal!

I am planning my trip for May 17-20. Just 4 days....Wish it was more!

I checked for my trip and unavailable is what I got. I unfortunatly need to be picky about what time we get to MCO and what time we fly out since it's only 4 days. I would hate to spend all of my first & last day in an airport.

Well it's just a short trip for my birthday. What else is your Tax Refund for??

I can get that rate if I'm willing to switch to a 7:20am flight coming home, but I don't think that's going to happen!

there are plenty of 49 fares for those days. Or, leave the evening before and leave late on the last days. These are non stop flights.

For future reference, you can easily do this online. Go to the travel center and put in change flight. Make up some silly time for a non stop, change the flight, then do it again for what you really want.

Have a great time!!

hi..
We will be flying (hopefully) from PVD-MCO (Aug.30-Sept.7th) and I saw the great deal online- $49.00 each way. It was listed online yesterday and the day before, but today when I went to book it- it was gone! I know we should have booked it when we saw it, but we weren't sure about work schedules.
I called SWA and the agent wasn't helpful at all.. she told me that she doesn't have record of that rate ever being offered for those days and she doesn't know if it will be offered in the future. (she said it was only offered through mid-June- I told her I saw offered for those days, though)
Anyone know if these rates might be offered again? We have such a tight budget for this trip, I don't think we will be able to go if we can't get a good deal

that rate ended Thursday midnight (well actually midnight Friday morning). And, believe me, when I checked yesterday morning for friends, they were gone. Obviously the agent was incorrect. No one knows when or if those rates will be available again. Right now the airfare is at 79.00 each way plus taxes and fees.

I can tell you from experience, whenever SW comes out with great deals - GRAB THEM AS FAST AS YOU CAN - because everyone else will... also, the $49.00 each way was limited time offer and I thought it was an online special so maybe that's why the SW rep was unfamiliar with it...

I just looked today and they're up to $79.00 each way which is still a great rate, you should think about grabbing that one... seems to be enough availability... although I was checking the 3rd through the 7th...

Good luck!

Yeah, I know- I should have jumped on that $49 offer! Kicking myself now, but oh well..
I saw the $79 each-way rate that they have now, but I checked United Airlines and it was $126 roundtrip, so that seems to be the best deal I am able to find right now.. keeping my fingers crossed that SWA will bring back the $49 deal, but I'm not getting my hopes up
