Not usually. I have been watching SW out of DTW for over a year and very rarely do they have direct flights.

Advice please we want to travel sat may 17 and return friday may 23. I want to book one flight now and then wait a bit for specials so that if my flight price drops i can apply credit as payment on the other. We need 5 tickets. What flight should i secure now? My very early morning flight there or my late out Friday back home? Which one you think is more popular and likely to book quicker?

Thanks

If you are set on those dates I would book both now and take a credit for later use if the opportunity arises. I say that because, most often, Fridays and Sundays are blacked out from fare sales. Good luck!

I was thinking of changing my flight from MCO to BUF on 12/13/13 to 12/15/13. I priced 12/15 last night, and it was the same price I paid for my return flight on 12/13. I went to book it this morning, and the price went up over $50! Stupid me for not doing it last night, I know.

Any chance it might come down again? Is there any rhyme or reason to when the fares change price?

We are looking at flying from Charlotte NC to Orlando in May 2014. My question is, are the flights that are listed now the only flights that will be available or will more options become available the closer time gets. Also, does anyone know when the best time to book a flight is? We flew this year for the first time and got a pretty good deal. We booked about 2 months before our trip. Just not sure if we need to book now or wait and see if more times become available and if there will be better prices/specials.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

Question...my DH needs 1200 points and i have 1400 left after i purchase my flight. Can i transfer that amount ir do i need 2000?

 

[jenseib]

Does anyone know if the coke rewards discount can be used when buying flights with points?

Any idea when SWA will open booking for 6/7/14? When checking their site, they are currently booking through 6/6/14. We need the 7th as it is the date we need to book our flight home.

I apologize if this has already been answered.

Ugh...flying is so expensive these days. I Remember the good ole days of $100 round trip. For a family of five that was awesome.

We were going to drive from Nj. Blah. Have done it before and it was miserable. Route 95 was shut down. Our trip turned into this long nightmare. We had to stop off at a Walmart to get maps of backroads to bypass the accident. Lol this was before GPS! We stopped in Savannah and then hit the road the next day for the rest of the trip.


We have to go the week before Thanksgiving due to a tournament that weekend. The flights were horrendous when I checked . We decided to drive and we were doing it all in one day....due to kids missing school.

soooo I have been watching airfare and I had to cut my vacation short due to my husband having to get back. Plus we are staying offsite so that freed us up some money. With gas it will cost us $500 so that will pay for the rental and part of the flights. I have been watching and it will cost us about $1500 to fly.

Will they just keep going up? Will Ding help this late in the game?

What month are you flying? They do a lot of sales and often announce them every Tuesday. Keep watching. Mine dropped by $100 a person during one of the sales.

In November...actually in two weeks! Nothing like waiting to the last minute! That is how we roll. Well the flights weren't good when we were looking. They are a tad better now, but still pretty outrageous ...imo.

The problem was our plans changed at the last minute. Tuesdays are the days of lower pricing normally?

Wasn't sure where to post this but if anyone can help. I'm leaving tomorrow morning and my mother requires a wheelchair at the airport. We're flying southwest and wasn't sure if we're allowed to board with her. I sent them an email and was told only one family member was allowed to board. But I just received a call and was told we could all board with her. There's only three of us so I'm a bit confused. Anyone have experience with this.

Are there any codes/discounts out now that any one knows (Specifically for April)?

Found this on the website through a Bing search:
We are currently accepting air reservations through June 6, 2014. On December 16, 2013, we will open our schedule for sale through June 30, 2014. This date is subject to change! Please check back frequently.

That seems like a long time from now!

And it seems weird that they are only going to release another 24 days of flights?

 

[bjscheel]

Yeah, and I'm so impatient to see the new dates come out. But I don't know when we'll go anyway, because it depends on how many snow days we get. But I'll see what flights look good, book them with points, and then see if we need to make a change.

Right now there are flights the first week of June for $97 or 4740 points which is fantastic, but they arrive at midnight. Yuck! I'm thinking of booking it anyway just in case, since I can always make easy changes with points.

Ever arrived at midnight? Was it awful? My kids are 12 and 15 so they can handle it, but we are rope drop people...guess we won't be that first day!

We have done it several times, with the kids at various ages. We do not make rope drop that first day. We eat a later breakfast, go get some food to keep in the room, go to downtown Disney, then often dinner and evening at Epcot. We will fly out Friday after work, and then our first full park day is Sunday, but it still gets me extra time, like DTD, without using up park time to do it.

Does anyone know if you can change your WDW package without penalties? We are going from feb1-8 and are at CRS with 6 days base and dinning plan from Seattle. I am hoping to stay until February 10 and add 1 base/dinning.
