Please help me understand DING!

I have booked through Southwest for the first time and am so confused about the Ding thing

We (6 of us) are planning an April 08 trip. When the fares opened in November I booked whatever I could. All the cheapest Wanna Get Away flights filled up very quickly. I got decent prices, but am hoping for even cheaper.

So how does DING work for me now? Will there be reductions in the flights that are already "unavailable", or is the DING for new flights? It's a busy spring break time, and if most of the flights are already "unavailable", what are the chances those dates would have a DING rate?

And if I do see a Ding rate I like, can I easily change my reservations and get the credit on my SW account?

Any help at all would be appreciated!

I'm sure you must have the DING thing on your computer. Well if a DING fair comes up that is cheaper than your flight you just call customer service. What they do is give you a SW credit, which you will end up having to use with in a year before it will expire.

Spring break DING flights.....highly doubtful but there may be a few seat that pop up do to cancellations.
