Southwest Airlines in Dec. help

[ihoward]

Airfare from Houston to Orlando in Dec. is sky high right now. I know there are no guarantees but I would really like to get some opinions on when ya'll think would be the best time to book airfare with Southwest for Dec. 17th. Thanks in advance

so funny as I almost posted the same questions yesterday...but looking at Dec 16th and from NC to CT (RDU to BDL) and my one way flight came to $215 ...I am flying 1 way in sept (same flight) for $80 so $215 was killing me especially since DS is coming too...But I booked it today I need to be home for an xmas party and figured if it went down I could get the difference (although you have to use the funds within a year of the day you booked which is annoying) but I was afraid it would go up more.

Thank you for your input. Sometimes it is better to be safe than sorry. Any other opinions out there?

I am looking for airfares in February from the Boston area and they are about 600 R/T UGH. Not sure if you have Direct Air in your area but I got an email sying they were having a 50% off sale. In my area their service leaves a lot to be desired sadly so it is not an option for us.I would suggest if you book SW to book each leg separately as if the prices go down they are much easier to change that way instead of taking the chance of losing a flight you want to keep, Good Luck!
