I find it fascinating with the new SW fares that are posted. Were I to travel on Saturday, 11/6, the $79 fares are available all day. Were I to travel on Monday, 11/8, the $79 fares are available. Traveling in between, on Sunday, 11/7, the cheapest fares are $110! Since they just went on sale today, how did the $79 fares disappear that quickly?

What am I missing?

Copied from SWA website:

<i>Unavailable indicates either the flight is sold out/full <b>or the fare is not valid for the travel dates you selected.</i></b>

So the $79 fares probably were never even offered for that Sunday.

Best guess, people jumped on the fares and they are now unavailable. Guess people on this site were not the only ones waiting.
 
I jumped at 9am today for PVD to MCO...
all the flights down on a saturday were gone for the cheap flights.. cheapest was $141. Was able to get the $69 return flight, but only by flying out early AM.. all the later flights were again higher priced.

for all those familiar with SW.. (it's been a while since we flew), i received the email confirmation. Do they also send you something in the mail? I seem to remember last time (3 years ago) that we got the E-ticket in the mail???

If someone could let me know... I'd appreciate it...
thanks.

You can use a RR ticket as 2 one way tickets. If you have a ticket you could use it for 2 people going down and then use the $69 fare coming home.

No real reason for SW to have a lot (or any) discounted seats on a flight that will sell out. Remember SW's fully refundable (full fare) is a fraction of the full fare of the traditional airlines.
