Southwest group rates

[jedspad]

we have 12 people flying to Orlando in October. I saw southwest gives special rates to groups. Has anyone done this and if so how good of discount did you get? Just curious as we can't book yet.

I would not expect much. Does SW define what a "group" is?

I think it's 10% discount from standard fare, which is much higher than the Wanna Get Away rates.

Groups on legacy airlines like United can be a good deal, but for Southwest, there isn't any benefit, except that you do not need to give the airline names until 30 days out. This is helpful for school or church groups who may not know exactly which members will be coming, but they want to secure good fares and space on a particular flight.
