Southwest for February 2006

[Bowen9475]

When would you guess that Southwest will open up dates for February school vacation week, February 18 - 25? We may try to squeeze in a trip if we can get reasonable airfare. How do you suggest getting the best airfare for this time period? I know it isn't easy. Thanks in advance!

I would definitely download DING from their homepage. It usually is cheaper than any price (even sale price) that their regular site offers.

Stupid question....I've heard it mentioned many times but don't know what it is, so, just what is DING? We've never flown, but are considering it for next year, so anything helpful is appreciated.

I already have DING installed. I am still wondering when people think the February dates for SW will be released. Thanks!

Bowen9475 - I think I read in another post that 2005 came out around mid to late September to early October. I too am playing the waiting game. I'm looking for the same week to TPA.
