Gotta LUV Southwest Airlines!!!!!!$$$$$$!!!!!

[TuckandStuiesMom]

OK -- Slightly OT but I just TOTALLY scored... $99 DING fares (one way) between Phoenix and Orlando for mid-September. Basically a savings of $158 round-trip compared to their next lowest scheduled fare! Between this seredipitous event, free dining, and Magical Express, I figure I'm saving more than $500 per person. WOO-HOO!!!!!!

Man, I guess I'll have to watch those fares out of PHX! I just may have to take another trip!

 

[MickeyEars]

I live 3 hours north of Midway, for me by .the time I pay for gas, 12 total driving hours, which amounts to at least $120 in gas, tolls, $6.00 finding someone to take us down to Chicago, I break even flying out of Milwaukee on Midwest for $176 round trip. But if you live close to Midway, it's a bargain.

I am in Mokena, so we just take a limo to midway. It's about $100 one way. But it still ends up pretty cheap.

That's an awesome deal. Currently they're only booking through 10/27/06 (my birtday-woohoo) so i have to wait another 6 weeks or so to get my reservation for my 12/10 through 12/16 MVMCP trip.

 

[TuckandStuiesMom]

great fares ARE still out there if you just keep looking! Good luck to everybody else hoping to save a few $$$$$$.

For what dates?

Totally agree. We usually drive, but decided to fly for our Sept trip. Was $133 each way from Columbus to Orlando, which was still cheaper than anyone else. Checked the other day...$99 each way! Saves us like $200 total, I was stoked.

Will be nice to get there in a couple hours, as opposed to 14...

You got a great rate! The only thing I don't really like about Southwest is the 'cattle call' concept. But for that kind of rate, who cares! Good goin'!

 

[jenjersnap]

Congrats! I booked for $99 each way too though I missed a Ding that would have saved us $150 - darn it. Hoping for another chance at a Ding!

Jen!

Remember me? I just re-booked our flights with an $86 ding from DEN. Hope you see that before this evening. When are you going? We are going August 26th -- couldn't resist the free dining. I see from your siggie that you got your 3rd baby! We are expecting #2 in 4 days...we must talk soon!

For what dates?

BDL to MCO
July 22 return July 25... just a long weekend for me but for that price, why not? Just check around late July

 

[3PRINCESSMOM]

I originally booked at $104 one-way PVD-MCO. Better than most other fares anyway. However, a few weeks after I caught a FANTASTIC DING!!!!

$44 one-way...$105.xx with taxes & fees for each of us.

Can you believe that? BTW, I got our exact same itinerary. My original total was $1128, my new total is $528, (now I have $600 travel funds...I am feeling a MVMCP trip may be in order now).

You may have already seen a post regarding my SWA joy! When I got the Ding, I was slightly excited!!! I almost hyperventilated as I was cancelling and rebooking, LOL!

 

[Tinkerbell_Girl]

I got a Ding on Sunday for HOU to MCO for $99! I originally had tickets for 119.00 but rebooked it for $99. So for 2 tickets I have a $40 credit. It's not much but anything will help! Now if only I could get a Ding for the return flight!

 

[thunderbird1]

Quick question: When you cancel SW online, how quickly do those funds become available to rebook? We got a not so great fare, but are hoping for better. If I remember from last time we cancelled and rebooked, the funds become available immediatlely, so you can do both transactions withing minutes. Is that still the case? Thanks!

 

[NYMomof4]

Yes. The refund will show as a credit on your cancellation notice and you will need the reservation confirmation # from that to use the credited funds.
