I just booked this morning MCO to Islip on August 30 for $89. I booked our trip down 1 full month ago. I watch daily and finally this morning I got the price I was waiting for.

Last flight out? If so we'll see ya on the plane.
Pretty good since it was last at $224.

Glad it helped. I only knew about free changes on SW and doing this by reading these boards so I'm glad my post helped others!

Based on your ticker, we go down 2 days after you - so we're also talking about the same timefrime. We're looking to come home Sept 3 (that's when we check out of the Beach Club). The flights are so bad that day, we had to take the early (7:30am) flight on Sept 4 for $163 pp - and crash at an airport hotel. I'm not looking for a credit, I would just like the last flight back to ISP on Sept 3 to come down to $163 so we can switch to that flight and not pay any extra. It's currently $264 (we paid $189 and $218 round-trip the last two years).

Price this morning went from $264 to $282. Not very encouraging.

Don't lose hope yet. I just checked now before going to bed and my Sept 2nd flight from Orlando to Islip was down to $124. It was $264 yesterday

I'll keep checking...but no change today. There is no rhyme or reason to these prices from one day to the next.

I got a great deal on flights to Orlando (although we would prefer to fly into Tampa, as we visit my in-laws there first before Disney). Dropped our flights over $400. The only problem is, now I have $400 in Ticketless Travel Funds that expire in November... and nowhere to go.

I'm going to call Customer Service and see if they'll give me a refund, but from what I've heard, the odds are not good.

Is Southwest actually putting their new policy into effect, the one where you cannot use another person's travel funds? If not, maybe I can get my brother-in-law to buy them off me at a reduced price... it would be better than nothing...

Here's to hoping it goes down even more!

The 6:50pm flight from MCO to ISP is $168 right now. That's really close to your target price!!
