Just checked Southwest! What's up?

[PolyHereWeCome]

I thought with the gas prices last summer that I would never see a $49 or $59ticket on SW but I did get those fares last Aug. I am kicking myself about how the price went up in 24 hours. This is the second column of the least expensive flights that have disappeared since they opened up the dates.

I don't know if I will secure these rates and hope they come down, then try to get SW to credit back my creidt card instead of giving me a credit? Or just wait and see? This is frustrating.

Guess it depends on whether or not you have plans to fly SW again next year. Getting credit for further SW flights isn't something I'm willing to do at this point, so I'm trying to wait it out (plus if SW doesn't go down, I'll likely book elsewhere).
