Southwest just extended their schedule through sometime in August.

ETA: August 24th is the end date according to some posts on the Transportation board.

Thanks for the heads up! I am anxiously awaiting the Southwest November schedule! I really don't want to drive but, if fares are truly outrageous, we will have no choice !

yep, & I just overpaid big-time (grrr), hope for a ding.

they didn't release the 2 lowest categories for fares from MCO to PIT (they're pretty much the only game in town for a low-cost NS that leaves in the evening).

Got stuck paying $443 for 3 one way tix (148/pp ).

I'm wondering if any of the other airlines will drop their fares in order to compete. I've been looking at Memorial Day weekend, and United's fare was $450 or so per person. Can now get the same thing on Southwest for $178. I'd prefer to fly United b/c of FFmiles, but may need to go for SW (if I can get DH to buy into the trip, hee, hee).

Fly out of BWI. We are going Memorial Day weekwnd also. Roundtrip airfare, non-stop is $177 per person, includes tax and fees. Its not that far of a drive from Vienna to BWI.

Thanks. SW actually now has a couple of non-stops to Orlando that fly out of Dulles, which is much closer to us. Same price!
