Southwest booking thru Oct. 24

[isles_nyi]

About time. Woo Hoo!

 

[JuJuJasmine]

OK! We're booked...Grabbed the N/S, convenient times. Ended up at just over $200./pp but Delta went up to $265. so I still feel like I got a deal. The difference will pay for a rental car and a "Kitchen Sink" at Beaches and Cream.

I am GIDDY! Now I can start some serious planning!

Aaargh!!!
Yes, they have finally extended their schedule, but the fare is ridiculous! Their fares for the latest week available prior to today (I think Aug. 30 - Sept. 7) were $145. Now for my dates, they're $272! Guess we're driving to LGA and flying Spirit.

I've been waiting forever for Southwest to extend their schedule well they finally did-but the rates aren't that great. 2 years ago we flew 2 adults for $237.00--1 year ago $267.00 --September 2003 $302.00 I guess everything goes up-NEVER DOWN. I think I might hold out and wait a while to see if these fares come down I hope so

We were planning on around $200 per person, but are only paying 175!!!!!!!!!! Manchester airport only has one airline that does direct flights to Orlando, and we are willing to pay 30 or so more per person not to have to spend our lives waiting around.
the flights down with the other airlines were not bad, but I will not let a 3 hour flight take me 7 or more hours!
YEAH!!!!!!!!!
Now I have my flight info and can book the limo company and then its just saving for "fun" stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(By the way, can you tell I am just a little excited!!!)

I'm happy for those of you that could use this. I was waiting for dates at the beginning of November for my sister and the end of November for myself. Now we have to wait several more months.

I need tickets for Dec. How much longer do you think it will be until they release Dec.?

Not sure when you are going, but I just priced fares out of LI for Oct. and they were only 175.00 per person.

 

[LTGRAMPS]

Got our tickets for Oct at 175.00 RT per person from Providence to MCO, delta was at 286.00 with multiple stops.

We saw on Travelocity RT from LGA to MCO for 165.00 today for July 19 and reuring on the 25

Guess I'm going to stick with Song. SWA was $250 more for 3 tickets. I had such high hopes.

aargh! I have free coupons but can only do 1/2 my trip!!! (we're plannning to fly down on the 24th and back 10/29. I was really hoping to finalize this. Now I'm worried my preferreed flight times will disappear or sell out.

Yippee! $875 for 5 non-stop tix out of Manchester, NH. Leaving early in the AM.....returning in the mid-afternoon! Not too bad considering the flights have been over $200 forever!

I found dates in Oct from ISP for $145 rt.

 

[Laurajean1014]

I couldn't find a trip less than $197 from NY or Hartford (did not try LI). But travelocity has flights from $133-160 -

Southwest has become what it fought for many years not to be ---- overpriced.

Mrs Mud,
If you are using SW rapid rewards you can book each of the flights as one way. So book your outbound now and then your return when they release them.
