Southwest...is this as good as its gonna get???

Hi All
Booked for WDW this fall and I missed the 40, 80, 120 sale and am kicking myself. Went to book it yesterday and it was GONE....grrrrr!

Anywho, was just wondering if anyone thinks this will go on sale again? Going in late sept early october......

Any insight is appreciated! Thanks....

From my observation, those types of sales are the lowest prices from SWA, and they usually won't go that low again.

Keep on watching for your dates. They will probably drop again, but most likely not as low as that last big sale.

I seem to have alot of luck on Tuesday afternoons. A coworker read in a travel magazine last year that the airlines drop their prices on Tuesdays at 3pm, and ever since then I noticed that most of the time SWA does that too.

I look at the SW flight schedule almost daily. We have had our tickets for a couple of months now and the 40/80/120 was the cheapest I have seen them. Ours dropped down but we have DVC reservations already from Fri-Fri so the sale didn't apply to us. I asked DH if he wanted to go down a day early or come back later--and because that would have added to the travel budget--we decided to just keep what we had. Prices have been pretty steady in our area. Maybe jumping $20 or so.

Not sure where your flying out of or days of the week your looking to travel but from islip there are still 82 fares in sept /oct for some dates

I got in on the $80 fares. I've been stalking the websites daily for a good 2 months now. There was the odd price fluctuation but not on the flights that I wanted. Funny, with the latest sale it was only showing the $80 fares for our southbound flight and nothing at all for the week we returned. Well, lucky for me I checked on the last day of the sale before I started work in the morning....there it was my preferred flight for $80. So of course I booked but in the span of 15 minutes I lost out on the flight that was my first pick, I got my second which is only a difference of 3 hours. I guess I should explain that I lost out on my 1st pick because I called my DH first just to confirm that he had in fact booked his vacation dates....he's known to say he has when in fact he had mentioned it at work but not officially booked.

On the point for good prices we often travel to WDW the last 2 weeks of August and I always end up booking the flights mid June. I have, so far, always gotten the best price. We fly from Buffalo and like to have non stop flights. This will be the first time that we did not get totally non stop....on our flight to MCO we make a stop but do not get off the plane. Coming home it's a non stop.
