This is the first time since I booked my tickets in February that I have found a price drop from Islip. Just got a $90 credit. I'm so psyched!!!

Yeah...they really dropped the fares the day we go down - also out of ISP (but we got those for free with the SW Visa promo). However, our return flights are still very high and have not come down a penny.

Same here. We paid $139 for our flight home (last year was $89) and within days it went up to well over $200. It's done nothing but go up up up. I'm staying hopeful

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).

We're going Aug 24-Sep 2nd. We got really lucky booking those dates the day they were released by Southwest. Keep an eye on them. I check the flights 3 or 4 times a day. Last year we didn't book our airfare until May and we got flights for $89 each way. they really bounced around and I got lucky because an hour after I booked they went back up. Keep trying

I check all the time. I've tried to hold out because even the day SW released the fares, the flight we wanted started out at $170. But as they kept going up and up we took that other flight with hope of being able to change at a later date.

I have been looking at ISP in September. Last week the low was 141. This wek I am seeing weekends at 104 and midweeks at 89. I guess the price of gas fell

Yeah no change here.

Hoping to get some credits for future travel.

I know this sounds dumb, but how do you get the price adjustment? I did it several years ago and can't remember how I did it.

Just check the fare as if your booking to see if the rates have dropped, if they did then just change your current reservation to take advantage of the new fare.

They always go up and down anyway. I remember it from last year when we booked late. Also, they just took over Air Tran, plus I'm wondering if bookings are down because of the economy.

I don't care why they drop as long as they keep dropping
If my flight home goes down and we get enough credit, we may fly down for a weekend to do the Halloween party!

Must have been a one-day sale. The prices for our departure date (Aug 26) went back up this morning. And now, one of the flights for Sept 3 (our return date) is unavailable - so it must be sold out. Not a good sign for fares for that date coming down.

Aug 24 is still down but no movement on Sept 2nd

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.
