Should I book SW one-way or round-trip

[famfab5]

Hi,

I read where you should book SW one-way not round-trip in case of a Ding later on...is this true??

Thanks!!

...just keep waiting...just keep waiting...for SW!!!

Absolutely! In some cases, when Dings come up, they're for specific flights, not just for specific dates. By booking one-way, you can reserve whichever flights work for you, without having to cancel a RT ticket (and therefore having to re-book the other flight at a possible higher rate).

To confirm, when I buy tickets for our upcoming May trip online, I should book each way separately? Would the initial price of booking both ways separately be higher priced then booking a RT ticket?

Southwest lists their prices as one-way. Depending on your flight dates, your tickets may be different prices for each way. Definately book one-way only. The pricing does not change weather you book one way or round trip.
