March Southwest Traveler?

[Dsnymouse]

Anyone traveling in March and having trouble finding reasonable price airfair through Southwest? They opened up booking into May last week and now everything reasonable priced to Orlando, Tampa, etc is gone!

Not sure if we are going to WDW now

Any ideas fellow disers??

Thanks!

I booked for end of Feb into March from Philly $99 each way. Hoping to get lower flares, will keep watching for the lower flares.

I'd sit tight and keep watching the fares. Southwest has some incredible sales without much notice.

Just keep checking, or try switching your dates. When the dates were released last week, it was very high flying back for us on the 30th. So we switched our dates from the 21-30 to the 19-28 and saved over $600! We scored about $85 each way, from Oregon to Orlando!

WE GOT A GREAT FARE FOR MARCH 17 AND RETURNING APRIL 2ND. TOTAL WAS 270 FOR THE TWO OF US. KEEP WATCHING THE FARES AS I JUST LOWERED OUR RETURN DEC 17TH FARE BY 200.00 FOR THE FOUR OF US.

When the new fares came out I booked for the end of April for $59.00 each way, the flights are still open.

This is from the Southwest site regarding their current sale

Additional taxes, fees, and restrictions:

Available only on southwest.com.
14-day advance purchase required.
Purchase November 28 through December 14, 2006, midnight Central Time.
Travel through end of schedule. (We are currently accepting reservations through May 10, 2007.)
Blackout dates apply to all Florida markets: 3/9/07 - 4/23/07.

I'm trying to get a flight from KC or STL to MCO leave 3/24 return 3/30, nothing lower than $250 R/T so far (that includes AirTran and Midwest)

Do any of the experts on this board believe that SW may lower the fares for these blackout dates after the first of the year or does SW stick firm to their blackout dates??

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks!
