Southwest open for booking to March 7

[disneykins]

Just got the Ding that they've opened flights up to March 7. I have a question though. I'm flying down Feb. 23 but returning Mar. 10. If I book 1 way the best I can get is $175. If I book return using March 6 as the return date, I am offered $75 each way. Should I book the return and then change the return date when it opens up? Or should I book one way at the higher rate and wait for it to go down and still wait for the return flight to open up?
Thanks,
Tony

I just checked Buffalo to MCO and Southwest is showing just the most expensive flights available for March 7th. I hope you went ahead and booked your flights, as it is unlikely that the prices will drop for March due to demand!

I'd like to know too. Just looked at SW and am leaving March 5, got the price of 175 per person. If I buy these now and they come up cheaper later on how does the money back thing work??? I've heard people say they buy then cancel and re-book with cheaper flights closer to there departing date. Never bought from ding and SW before a newbie on this one. Usually drive but this time were flying.

Just remember if you book and want to rebook at a lower price, you don't get the money back, just a credit to use within 1 yr. If you are planning another trip then it should be fine.

Have you tried Air Tran for March 5, they still have some $89 seats available, and the non stop is $117.

I am glad I booked Air Tran down for March 6, now I am just waiting for the return flight, but I am sure it will not be at $89.
