Southwest question

[bgula]

I currently have flights booked from Buffalo to Orlando and back from March 10-15. We got a good rate ~$67 incl. taxes each way. I've been watching for DINGs as I'd like to extend my stay until the 16th (couldn't book at the low price at the time, so had to go for the 15th). They've still got some flights available, but are currently over $200. I would have thought they would offer these remaining flights for a cheaper rate by now. What do you think the chances are that they'll do this before I leave on the 10th - or will they not bother?

I don't think we are going to see really cheap DINGS anymore. I think those of us that got the cheap flights the morning they opened up were lucky. I hope we will see cheap flights again!

The DINGS that have been coming up are not cheap!

The way I've been figuring it is if there's still seats open close to flight date, wouldn't it be better to sell them off cheaply rather than have them empty? That's my theory anyway!

I got March 13 - 22 for $54 o/w before the prices increased. They seem to have gone up $100 each way! S

I've really been disappointed with the "Dings" lately as they have nothing at all for Buffalo to MCO....they used to have weekly deals but not anymore!

Maybe with all us Canadians flying out of Buffalo we are filling the planes so no need to discount the fares. I've noticed a lot less Dings from Buffalo to Orlando also.
