Southwest sale

[KerryCM]

Just saved another $84 for our flights on May 14th from Nashville. They are just $68 each way leaving on May 14th and returning on the 21st!! You must fly on a Tuesday or Wednesday. I also booked some fights for October for another trip!!!!

 

[mhnewcomb]

Me too! I love that we decided to do a Tuesday-Tuesday trip!

I was only able to get our outbound flight at $67...the return was still $192. I'm checking every day now, though!

 

[MacDalt]

Are you booking thru the Southwest site? I'm looking at flights for October but only finding $133 or higher.

 

[KerryCM]

Yes, I booked the 8th to the 15th. I booked as soon as I got the email on Friday. I went to book a flight for my son and his family, but the cheap flights were gone. Looks like we will have to go again with them!

Those are FABULOUS prices!! This latest "sale" didn't help flights out of Midway at all. Ours are still $120-$133 for midweek flights (highest we have had in years).

We are going to take our son and his family the beginning of December and so I went to look at flights today. I was shocked to see flights on a Tuesday for $192 each way. Guess I will wait for another sale.

I peeked at early November today and a return flight on Sun 11/10 was $222 I'm not even paying that round trip in June!!!

I too will wait it out until mid summer and see what happens

Ours were booked on release day for Oct. 8th/15th. They were $192 pp each way.

I checked one night last month, and the outbound was down to $128, return flight down to $149. I rebooked.

Then I checked one night last week, after seeing mention of some reduced rates on a Facebook group...return was back to $192, but outbound was $67!! REBOOK!!! I never dreamed I'd see either of our flights that low...

Now I'm checking every day, waiting to see a reduced rate for our return flight for us, and for both flights for one of our three traveling groups that I NEGLECTED TO TEXT THAT NIGHT. Because I suck.

Check every single day, and with a little luck...

When a flight that you have already booked on SWA goes down in price, can you get the cheaper price by going through the website, or do you have to call customer service?

Do they charge you to rebook your flights?

Yes, you do "Change Reservation" on the website and SW will hold the credit (called a ticketless travel fund) for the person the flight is booked under. They then can use that credit towards a future flight. It expires 1 year from the day the original flight was purchased.

Do they charge you to rebook your flights?

Nope!


*Disclaimer* I am only speaking of true SW flights, not the ones listed as "Operated by Air Tran". I am not familiar enough with their policy for those flights since the merger is still happening.
