Southwest Dings?

[Taggie]

Has anyone gotten any SW Dings? I haven't seen any in the last couple days, so I was wondering if my systems was not working or if they just haven't done any lately.

I did get STL to MCO on Saturday for 4 of us for $750, I wish it was a little cheaper, but it beats driving 16 hours with a 5 and 3 year old.

Thanks

I get Dinged at least twice a day every day. It sounds like your system isn't working.

I get Dinged twice a day also. Usually it doesn't pop up or anything but I click the little thing that's running in the task bar and it comes up with a message. Most of the Dings expire quickly so be sure to catch them

Could someone tell me what the ST Louis specials for today are?
Thanks maybe I will have to uninstall and reinstall.

Thanks

St. Louis to Boise for $91!
- Fare is valid for travel June 13 through August 30, 2005 only
St. Louis to Orlando for $115!
- Fare is valid for travel June 17 through August 30, 2005 only

Needs to be booked by 2pm CMT -- so it's probably too late for this one.

Is that roundtrip or one way?

 

[Taggie]

It is round trip. Equalled about $187/pp. I just remember in the past years SW running $49 specials (one way). But I haven't seen anything for JULY. THey have a great deal right now (FL. Frenzy) but it expires on June 16th. I uninstalled and reinstalled and its now working.

I also get ding'd twice a day. Last week I got RT airfair from MCO (Midway-Chicago) to Orlando for 4 of us for $418.40!

It was certaintly worth signing up for !

 

[Taggie]

I seen that same one, I almost bought that one, but I figured by time we drive to Chicago (5 1/2 hr. drive), it wouldn't have been worth it. I wanted to catch the first plane to MCO, so we would have had to drive up the night before (1 night hotel), so I didn't get it. So I guess $750 from STL isn't too bad. Today they had one from STL to MCO and it would have been almost $1000. SO I am a happy! GOOD DEAL from Chicago thou...

It sure was.... Last week I got the same deal.. 3 of us for $318.80 round trip from MCO also! When are you going? For yesterday it didn't seem to "ding" me so I clicked on it and checked out the latest deal... after that, it's dinging me again.

We're going for 2 weeks in July, how about you? You are correct in that sometimes it doesn't seem to "ding" so much, so I click on it to "kick start" it so to speak.

Thanks Taggie. Isn't it great to get a good deal and then see the prices only go up? But - on the other hand - it's rotten to get what you think is a good deal and then have the airfair come down in price! Where's STL? If it's a 5-1/2 hour drive I'd have to say somewhere in Minnesota? We have friends up there about 5 hours away also.

If the airfare comes down, you can easily rebook the tickets- one of the great things about swa

 

[Taggie]

You can rebook the tickets? I thought it said nonrefundable. I'll have to check into that.

We live just south of St. Louis (STL). About 40 minutes from the airport.

Thanks everyone for the replies.

 

[Forevryoung]

They are nonrefundable meaning you cant get all your money back (like cancel the ticket and ask for a refund) but you can certainly save on a flight- They actually love it when you do that!

There have been no dings today so far. I always have to click on the DING in my program files everytime I turn on my computer. Then sometimes it opens automatically and sometimes I just keep checking.

I was able to change our flights in July that was originall $375 for 2, to $275 for 2, from ISP - MCO (Long Island NY to Orlando!

MARGARET,

I uninstalled and reinstalled the DING, and it came up with a Ding.
One of the Dings for St. Louis was Orlando, $115, luckly I booked it already at $85....
