We got a great rate with SW when our dates first opened also. The price then actually dropped another $50 roundtrip. We came in just under the price now. I checked our flights for Aug. and the times that we are going are coming up at $260/person so we did better than that. This will be our first time using SW since up to this point we had always gone non-stop with Delta and got last years flights for $179. Unfortunately Delta did away with all non-stops out of BDL. We are also going in June and will be flying JetBlue down since they had a better non-stop time in the morning and will be coming back on SW. For our SW flights on both trips we also did the early check-in since I don't want to be tied to a computer at the 24 hr. mark while on vacation.
