Right, I guess I was more asking if historically does southwest drop prices last minute to fill planes....

Never seen that. From 14 days out prices jump and cont to rise, in my experience.

Hoping to buy tix thru that sale as well. Although not to Wdw

I'm pretty sure if you use them on the SW site you are using them as RR points.

Did you check today. The summer rates for Dallas to Orlando dropped 50% today.

Good luck on getting a lower fare.

When do they usually have their birthday sale? TIA!

I sure need a code. Our plans have changed because my daughter made the band Color guard. Only time we can go is during xmas break.
Its only my dd and myself and I am on social security, so funds are right and airfare is not.
A NY pixie dust out there?

I am guessing finding something for Christmas week cheaper or with a code is going to be rare. Keep watching though. It's still really early to buy.

I check every day. Best I can do on SW is 413.00 PP, from dfw.

Already gone!

-I have a $20 off wanna get away fare code for anyone who might need it. Its a my coke rewards code that I wasnt able to use. I just got it today. PM me if it can help you!

I'm not even sure what you all are talking about- but if it's going to help safe me money on airfare- PLEASE- hook me down!!!

I am moving my trip from September to October. I have been looking at the fares from Nashville to MCO the last couple of days and they are really high. The times I want are double what I paid for the Sept trip.

My question...on Oct 5 (my new planned departure day) there are a couple of times that have WGA fares that are not listed as 'Web Only". Are the low web-only fares for those times already scooped up and gone...or is there any chance those fares will drop?

Has anyone ever noticed a high non-web-only fare ever drop to a cheaper fare?

 

[StrwLady]

What date is that for?

The rate dropped on several days during the summer months. I pretty much saw one way fares of $121 (for dallas) for all days during the summer.

I checked out Southwest's site and saw rates that Wanna Get Away. It looks like they are nonrefundable. Is this the main difference for the price difference?

The price is almost 300.00 different for each way.

You can get a credit if the price goes down to be used within a year of your booking date.

We are a family of 6. Going Dec 14-21. Haven't bought airfare for a couple years and stressing about the cost a bit. I have been told 3 months out is good time to book as well as Tues or Wed. But it is holiday time. Right now I can get 1 way $140. (which is what I paid roundtrip 3 years ago! ACK!)

Heard there are coke reward codes which I do not drink coke. So that doesn't help. Any other helpful hints would be great.

 

[MacDalt]

$140 is great!

 

[bjscheel]

Good sale on right now, we JUST got back from DL but for fun I checked fall flights to MCO. We won't go till next summer, if we do go, but I'd sure like to get $88 each way if we do! I would already have enough points to cover that.

While I was looking though, there wasn't a button to check the low fares for the whole month- did they take that away? That was really helpful so you could find the best days at a glance instead of clicking on days one by one.

Oh, I was also going to mention that I got EBCI for our San Diego-Omaha flight for last Saturday. We got A14-17!!! I was shocked.

For our Omaha-Orange County flight I did 24 hour checkin and got low B's. However, I never heard them call for B boarding and we didn't get on till the end of the B's. We got 3 seats together in the very back and DH was a row away on the other side. We didn't have to change planes so while we were stopped, we moved up to the very front two rows. Worked out fine anyway, but I felt bad about being so knowledgeable about the process, checking in at 24 hours, and messing it up anyway. The moral is, pay attention and get up so you can watch instead of just trying to listen for it.
