Southwest advice?

[hsmamato2]

I haven't flown SWA in so long,I've forgotten the 'rules' to get a decent fare- I am possibly planning a trip (not Disney) in mid June- last night,just for fun I checked the site,and found a good date for 69.00 wow....I thought,great fare.....then checked again today,it's now 89.00-
my question is, what is a good way/times to keep checking? I think I have some time to keep watching,but I have subscribed,and set up Ding too.....what advice do you all have? any is appreciated!

From my experience, prices go down early in the week, then back up over the weekend. Also, check nearby airports. For an August trip to see the Mouse, I'm saving about $240 for DW and myself to drive to Milwaukee instead of Chicago's Midway. When going to Disney, I've saved some money sometimes by flying into Tampa instead of Orlando. Of course, those were trips where I planned to rent a car instead of using DME.
