Post all SW questions concerns, etc. here...

Thanks so much. Also, do you know if it's a straight dollar amount to be used as I please? For example, I paid $288 roundtrip each for DH, me, DS and DD. Do I have vouchers for 4 flights that are good for up to $288 each? Or do I really have a $1152 credit (4 x 288) that my husband I could use on more expensive flights and leave the kids home?

Thanks again.

The credit will be in each original traveler's names.

Thanks again for the quick responses.

Thanks again.

And also keep in mind that each traveler must use their own voucher. Vouchers are no longer transferable and must be used by the person they were issued to. So you or your husband would not be able to use the vouchers issued to your children. Hope that made sense!

So I've been waiting for our Oct 24th flights to Disney to come down so that I could book a later time. We have 8am booked but that means the kids missing school another day and they are already missing enough.Today a later flight actually came down but now I've already gotten excited about another full day in Disney vs half day. I know the responsible thing is to change and let them go to school that day.... darn it being responsible stinks.

Same thing here...take the 5pm and don't miss another school day or take the 12n and have an extra evening in parks. Good parenting is hard!

So, I have been watching SW prices for GRR to MCO in December. They have hovered at $149 per way (WGA fare for the non-stop flights). Last night, they went to $153. I haven't noticed prices fluctuating... I was just hoping for a better price because one of the flights times doesn't give us any vacation time the day of arrival.

If prices have gone up, even if only slightly, are they likely to start climbing? SW is new to our market, but they are the cheapest alternative, especially considering the free bags.

I read taxes were going up on the 20th. Mine has slowly gone up a dollar here or there for Sept. I booked but was hoping to see it go lower for credit.

The day we come home went down this morning for the 8am flight. Were taking the 5pm home though. I want as much time at disney as I can. Jyst thought id tell you to check your dec tickets again.

 

[Lovinallthingsdisney]

Mla973....we are also flying Out of GRR in December. I purchased tickets back in May, but review regularly for price changes. I noticed too that the outbound flight went up on Sunday or Monday. However, there is a "sale" now that has reduced the price back into the $130's. Of course this all depends on your travel dates, but I think they are typically similarly priced. You may want to check again. Sale only extends to December 17, so that may affect price too.

Sorry if this question has been asked before, I couldn't find the answer. Can SW travel funds be applied to the seat selection cost on the airtran portion of our trip?
Thank you.

 

[Disneyplanners]

Also, does anyone have an updated report on whether or not you can do resort airline check in if you have one leg of your trip SW and the other Airtran through SW?

 

[mla973]

Thanks for the replies. Just checked again... still $153 each way, GRR to MCO. I did book yesterday.

We come back on the 18th, so the sale wouldn't work for that flight.

The nonstop flights are luckily the cheapest, but we don't get to MCO until about 4 p.m. (then with DME transfers, etc., we won't be to BWV until 6 or so). i'm really disappointed about that. But, we have a full day on departure day, so I guess it evens out.

DH has about 11,000 rapid rewards points. He doesn't have a SW credit card so he can't use those points for anything other tha flights. I was hoping we could use them for SW gift card to cover priority boarding.

I added DH as an authorized user of my card hoping that would allow him to order that gift card. But the website won't let me do that. Apparently he will need his own credit card. But I don't want another annual fee. Or am I missing something? And does anyone have a way to convert those points to a gift card other than another credit card, transferring or gifting (which will all cost me money). Thanks for the help...I am out of ideas.

Thanks all

I booked our September trip from GRR to MCO a couple months ago. They started at $141 each way. Then they added a new flight with better hours (it left at 11:20 instead of 9:40 with approx. the same arrival time and we have to drive just over an hour so later with less layover was better. I snagged that flight at only $131 each way.

Then they cancelled that flight 3 weeks later. Now we're leaving the airport at 6am!! I have to leave the house at 3:30am, with two kids, to get there early enough. Ugh.

And the credits I had on my account are gone but since we rarely fly I guess that 50 bucks isn't a big deal. But the whole experience has been seriously irritating.

Oh man! So sorry! That is seriously early! We have done 6am flights before when necessary, but we live closer to the airport than you. Leaving a at 4:30 isn't so bad, esp since everyone is excited to start vacation.

What happened to your credits? I hope it's just a glitch.
And I hope your plans and trip only get better from here on out!

 

[Bronte]

I only have a one way ticket to buy (Aug. 24)
Is it worth it for the 10 bucks to sign up for the coke rewards thing ??

One other question ..
Do they offer this all the time ... I have to buy two round trip tickets for early december

 

[jenseib]

The only way I have ever seen my credits is when I put in the reservation number from the flight that I lowered the cost from...I am not sure if you can see them anywhere else or not?

 

[Lsdolphin]

I have a coke rewards code. If I book a reservation for 5 people, will that take $20 off EACH ticket? Or off the total?

How do you get codes for SWA from coke rewards I looked but did not see anything relating to SWA on the Coke Rewards website.
