Question about Southwest

[Jo-Anne]

DH and I just planned an anniversary trip at the last minute and will be going May 21-25. I have a little credit with Southwest so we'll probably drive to Buffalo and fly from there. I know SW has specials every Tuesday, but with my trip being so close in, am I best to book right now, or do you think cheaper prices may pop up in a week or two? From what I see on their site right now, a lot of the lower priced tickets are unavailable, but do they hold back seats and maybe open them up later at cheaper prices, or will it only get worse from here on in? Thanks, Jo

they may have another sell, just keep checking, but your times are getting close ( in past the closer you get to the datem the higher the cost seems

I would book whatever low fare there is and maybe one will open up, but at less than a month out, I would not be too hopeful.
Most of the "cheapie" fares require a 21 day advance purchase and your clock is ticking away for that type of fare. From what I see on their site right now, is 114.00 per person before taxes and fees on the way down and a very early am flight on the way back for 79.00 each person.
