SW dropped fare to Tampa in April

[disneylizzy]

Yesss! Checking airfares at work. Southwest added Internet only fares for our flight down at $49.00 one way. I was able to change our reservation and just saved $180.00. BTW, that was Islip to Tampa (we had problems flying out of Manchester AND Providence) and also flying into MCO. This has helped me be a little less depressed about our weird flight plans (we're from Boston )

Congratulations. Awesome price!!!!!

We are planning on flying BUF-TPA in Dec and just had a question. By saving $180, do you get that $ put back on your credit card or in the form of a voucher? I have read that some people get a voucher and some get the money put back ontheir credit card?
How does this work?

riu girl it depends on the special at the time of purchase. I have had both happen. If you notice at the top under the date there are different specials, I would read those and check it out prior to purchasing if you are unsure. Hope this helps.

The agent told me that she will put me in for a refund check for the $180, but it will not be issued until 4 - 6 weeks after we come back. The other option is applying it to another SW flight. I think I am going to put the check right in the savings account for our next trip.

disneylizzy: originally, did you have a fully refundable fare booked, or one of the less expensive advance purchase fare types booked? I am just trying to fugure out what type of fare to book in order to get a $$ refund if a less expensive fare comes out.
Anybody have any thoughts on this?
Thanks
