Southwest success for spring break

[daisyx3]

I had booked our April 1 outgoing flight to MCO on Southwest in August, I believe. Got it for about $132 each.
Had to wait for our flight coming home April 8 until they opened those days up yesterday. Found a decent flight for $124 each!
So our totals are $256 each. Yes we have to switch planes each way, but that is not a problem as it is just DH and I.
I did book EB for both flights, but the cost for two EB check ins is the same as one bag on most other airlines (and for a week we would need two bags).
On the flip side, I just checked Delta (which we usually use due to nonstops). The fare for our usual flight is $429 each! So we are saving $173 each for a total of $346! Totally worth a plane change.
Time to call and set up magical express!

We scored cheap, too, over our spring break. $112 each way. There we are flying Sun Country - non stop, great time (late afternoon so the kids can go to school that day...). Coming home, late SW flight. Layover in St. Louis, but I don't mind that airport...very condensed. Get in at 11pm. Still holding out hope that an earlier flight goes down in price - DH does have to work the next day!

Southwest success here to but my delay on booking cost me. When April opened up completely I checked early morning for my family of 6, it was $1300 for non stops both ways. I thought I would book after I brought my oldest to school, so 45 minutes later in my office I went to book and the same tickets were $1700. Called the wife and she said maybe we should wait, I said nah I'm booking. By 5:00 the same tickets were $2750. Today the departing flight is sold out and the return flight has doubled. Guess you have to jump on things when you can.....

OMG maybe there is hope. BWI fares haven't moved in months. Right now, we are all driving.

I saw some flights to Tampa for $91. I was lucky Frontier opened a new route from PHL to MCO and SW matched their fares for a few days
