Hi, Someone else posted that they had gotten the $49. fares for July. So I called and SAVED $300. on Southwest tickets down to Orlando for the end of July.I had already purchased my tickets, thinking no way will they go lower than $79. I just got off the phone with Southwest and they were able to help me and walk me thru the changes to get the cheaper fares. Joan
 
I'm from Johnston. When you changed your fare did Southwest credit your credit card, or did they give you a year to use the balance?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Ron, I lived in Johnston the 1st 25 years of my life! (my home was off of Central Ave. ) Anyway back to your ?. The women I spoke with said I would get a credit on my card or I could take the Southwest credit. She said this was because it was a sale fare from Southwest. I said to put the money back to my credit card, and she said I should see it on my next statement, When I told her it was a debit card she said to give it a week.I would have been happy with a Southwest credit because it would have FORCED me to plan another trip to WDW!!

I jumped on this deal as soon as I saw it. $460 for 4 round trip (non-stop). WOW!!! I knew DH wouldn't be able to get the time off of work, so I figured just me and the 3 princesses. WRONG. I told my sister, so she is coming with her 3 kids; AND we told our (young) aunt, so her and her DD (13) will be along too! For our family it will actually end up being less than a week down the Cape (Cod, Mass. that is), since we have AP's and we will stay either Value or Mod...depending on/if AP rates become available. I have to keep to a budget or DH will threaten to pull the plug on our annual December trip.

I LOVE SWA!!!
 

First of all I now live off Central Ave. heading toward Scituate.

Secondly, I have airfare booked for $79.00 each way for 8/13-8/25. When I saw the internet rate they told me at SW that I could only get the SW credit, and couldn't have the money taken off my credit card. I tried this with 3 different women and got the same response, so I kept it at the rate I had because there was no way I'd be flying by next April. I'm upset because I could have my flights now for $460 instead of $700.

Thanks for responding and enjoy your trip.

You could have sold the credits on ebay.
 
The person I talked to Wednesday didn't give me all the info. She told me the credit would only be good for one year from the time I purchased the original flight which was April 5th. Since we vacation every August that would be no good. But the girl I talked to today said that SW has 6 month extensions that I wasn't told about which I could have used on flights next August 2005.

She gave me the # for Customer Service but they are closed today due to the Easter holiday. She said they would probably still give me the internet fare after I explain what happened and the extension, so hopefully everything works out well when I call Monday.

I have heard that they will give extensions and I have heard they won't. All I can say is I hope you have good luck when you call Customer Service on Monday. SWA is really great so I would say you chances are really good. BTW, if you cannot get the extension but can get the fares, let me know. I will travel again in Feb. :)
 
hi..
We are also planning to fly from PVD to MCO (Aug.30-Sept.7th). I saw this rate listed online yesterday and the day before (the $49 one-way), and should have booked it right away, but we weren't sure about my husband's work schedule.
So, today I went online to book- and the rate has disappeared! I called SWA and the agent was less than helpful.. she pretty much told me that the $49 rate wasn't ever available for those dates and didn't know if it would be offered in the future. :(
Anyone know what I should do? We could fly out of Hartford (it's about the same distance) but it's not listed for that right now, either.
This trip really has to be done on a budget, so we aren't sure what to do now.. :(

Get the airfares at the 79.00 rate and hope for a drop in the airfare and get a credit for future travel and if you cannot use it, sell it on ebay.
 
Gail- thanks.. looks like that's what we will have to do..

Here is hoping they drop again for you. :) I am also hoping that they drop for Hartford. I would gladly switch out if they were at 59.00 each way (I don't have to pay to park out of Hartford :) ).
 
looks like some of the promotional fares to florida are still good ( cut off date was suppost to be april 9 ) for travel by june 17 to floirda...49 - 79

but can still see some there ....

if i put in june 18 the promotional fare goes to 79$

do not think the promotion ever went beyond june 17 but i could be mistaken since they told me when i booked the "fare sale" for those rates ( to florida ) would expire on april 9th

What we all booked on for flights later than June was the promo for System Wide Savings. Which was available from 4/6 to 4/8 (or midnight 4/9). And, they were not kidding. I was on the site at 7 am on Friday and they were no longer showing the special.
