Southwest lowered fares through aug

[tinkerdee]

This morning the rate from Hartford CT to Orlando in August was $136, tonight for three days only they lowered it to $109. I booked. This was not a Ding, just lower fares.

I noticed this too, out of Manchester, NH. The 'Wanna Get Away' lowest was $129, last night I noticed it went down to $99 (but unfortunately not on the days I want to travel).

I just noticed this too. Although, my husband booked us from Sun-Sun at AKL, not Tues-Tues like I said. So...no rate drop for me.

I'm debating switching our room reservation and ADRs to save $140, but I don't know if it's really worth the hassle. Plus, keeping our current reservation means we'll be there on our actual anniversary. What to do? I'm at a loss.
I'm stressing out!

DH is calling to change our dates now and I just booked additional ADRs in case it works. Fingers crossed...would love to save the money.

I was able to get the $99.00 fare for my trip in May out of Manchester nonstop into Orlando, a nice savings. It would be nice to see the $79 fare that they are offering out of Providence, it pays to keep checking in on a daily basis.

Okay...Disney changed our reservations and our ADRs are changed. The only bummer is that we won't be there for our actual anniversary; we'll be there the day after. I guess it's no big deal..right?

I'm going to book the airfare tonight, and I'll be saving $140.

I just got flights for July/August from Chicago. They were all $122 a few days ago, and I just paid $74 (that's each way) tonight. So this is a very nice decrease. Now if only Southwest would be a participating airline with the Magical Express system, I'd be even happier!

That's great! Mine out of MKE WAS $74 for June. I had to work out some details on our exact days and POOF! up it went to over $100 per leg for what I need as hasn't come back down since. It's like Murphy's Law with me.

I check airfare daily from a number of different "watchdog" sites, and not one lists Southwest (they are exclusive, I guess). I just checked and my rates from Pittsburgh went down 52 bucks roundtrip, so I booked tonight!

thanks OP for the tip!

 

[MYD714]

It'd love it to drop to the $74 that it costs from Chicago. Wishful thinking...

Uggh...we decided to fly out of Indy again & the prices have not moved for our dates in June. Sometimes we fly out of Midway...but Indy is so much more user friendly & just slightly more of a drive. Come on southwest just a little lower.

I've been watching out of Houston and not seeing any drop in price...need to book our airfare for June (yes I've procrastinated)...wish it would drop that much..I'd buy it on the spot.

At least some of their flights have dropped again this morning. On Wednesday morning, Louisville to Orlando was $116 each way. That dropped to $97 each way that afternoon (of course I bought 6 tickets at that price).

I just checked a bit ago and the price is down again to $78 each way. I haven't seen the price that low in this market in a long, long time.

So the bad news is, I paid too much on Wednesday; the good news is, this morning we have $292 in credits and hubby agreed we should go back this fall without the kids and grandkids.

Does anyone know when Southwest typically opens up September booking? TIA

 

[julezdisney]

I just saved $7 rebooking a later flight (which I was gonna do anyway)...lol... not much but that leaves me with a credit of almost 20$ my friend can use to book hers!

 

[DISNEYNY]

We booked Buffalo to MCO nonstop for $69 on Wednesday. The flights had all been holding at $114 for quite some time. I'm glad I waited.

Flights will open up on March 23 for booking through October 30.

 

[turning40withMickey]

The rates from Pittsburgh went back up, so I am really that I booked. I will keep checking, just in case they want to give me some lovely southwest credit for next year!

I hope June fares will drop, they seem to be holding right now. I need MHT to MCO to go down!
