Southwest Airfare on Memorial Day weekend

[jmkrat]

Hi,
Does anyone know if the prices for airfare on Southwest increases over Memorial Day weekend? I didn't realize when I booked our trip that it fell on Memorial Day weekend. We are scheduled for May 22- May 29. I could possibly add a day and leave on the 30th. Is airfare expensive the day after Memorial Day? Thanks for any input.

We've flown STL-MCO for Memorial Day weekend the past two years and those have been our cheapest tickets in either of those years. Of course our comparisons are for Thanksgiving, Christmas and Spring Break. I would say Memorial Day likely will be higher than a random weekend in October or February, but lower than peak travel periods.

Thank you so much, I am relieved.

How far in advance did you book your airfare? That price is fantastic!
