I checked the price for our upcoming trip a couple of weeks ago and the cost had dropped from $133 one way to $79 (not including fees and tax). I tried to purchase two seats but it kept giving me an "oops that fare is no longer available" but you can purchase at $115. I openned several new windows and retried but got the same offer of $79 and the same oops message. In the mean time I called SW and apparently the same time I was trying to buy someone else was entering their credit card info for the seats at that price. When I tried the last time the $79 fare was replaced by the $115. Anyway, the $115 (actually $125) seats have preferred boarding and one premium cocktail. Do I still need to call in and what's up with the cocktail, it's a 6:30 AM flight, what if my 19 year old were going, who gets the cocktail? When I went last month they offered a guaranteed A section seat for $10 more which for me wasn't worth it. Has anyone else here got this offer?

If you try to book two seats but only one at the lower price ($79.) remained, then you will be quoted the next lower price ($115.)

The guaranteed "A" boarding pass is for the "business select" (tm)class seats.

Sounds like a business select fare, see the attached chart. Kind of like first class on a legacy airline (but without the larger seats). There is a footnote that says you must be 21 or older for the cocktail.

It's actually for a premium beverage, not necessarily a cocktail. That includes alcoholic beverages, but also includes Monster energy drinks.

Actually, as of April 1st, Beverage coupons can no longer be used to purchase Monster energy drinks! :mad:

As of now, the coupon is only for alcoholic beverages which is a shame. Hopefully they bring back that energy drink! I loved it!

What? Next you'll be telling me that they don't have lemons on board or something. ;)
