SW fare went way up since this morning

[eeyoreforever]

I have been waiting to get a decent fare for the end of May, but the prices went up a couple of weeks ago. This morning I had a bad feeling and went ahead and booked 3 tickets at the internet fare of $114 each way. I just checked the fare again (its an obsession) and right now the fares are $151 each way. Had I waited, that would have cost me an additional $222.

Just hoping now I can get a ding so I can get a credit.

Just a warning to keep a close eye on those fares.

That is by far the highest SWA "internet rate" I've ever seen...the systemwide sale seems to have reverted back to Texas and the Midwest. When I got a great fare last year through the systemwide sale, it's when Florida was the featured region---which hasn't happened for months. I keep hoping it's Florida's turn/our turn next!

Our fares also went up from $94 each way to $129 each way. I'm so glad I was able to book yesterday.

I paid $59 each way from Providence for late July yesterday, and today the lowest prices are $109 each way.

I'm glad I got a DING for May a few weeks ago, we're paying $44 each way from ISP. The same flights are now $149 each way

I was shocked too! I have never seen their internet rates this high! I booked one way from Philly to Vegas at $89.00PP as soon as the schedule came out Thursday morning. It was a good deal but normal fro SW. Last night I looked and the same flight was $149! I still need to book our return flight for August 5th. Looks like that is going to be a little higher than the flight out.
Lets hope for some good DINGS!
