SW FInally expands schedule-- now what?

[kilee]

I noticed today for the first time that my email specials came with a schedule into December, FINALLY.

We need tickets to go 10/30-11/7. When I pulled them up just to see I was able to get a rate of $67.00 each way. Only probelm, I really don't have the money to buy these tickets until closer to the beginning/middle of August.

So, typically speaking, do you think the interent fares will still be available?

My experience is the internet specials last only for a few days. They come out on tuesday and usually expire like on friday if I recall correctly. This morning was a GREAT deal for our trip. I could only purchase the way down as our return has not opened up yet but I am happy to lock that in. I would seriously consider just purchasing them via your creditcard and paying it off in August. The sales are unpredictable and 67.00 each way is a fantastic price! Those seats may sell out very fast!

Wow, tricky question. The fares seem to change weekly. The fares that you were sent today end on July 3rd. It is stated on the email, somewhere in that "fine" print.
SWA does not hold fares for folks, so, your best bet is to either buy them now (which you said was not realistic right now) or hope that they stay level.
BTW, that is a pretty good rate from Buffalo, Hartford is higher right now.
Good luck!!!

Hi Gail,
I was actually very happy with the Hartford, last year we lucked out with 69.00 on the way down but 99.00 on the way back so the 79.00 is not bad. It would be great if when they open up the way back they could drop it to 69.00 again but I am prepared to pay the 109.00 regular promo fare if need be.
I agree with S.W it is a gamble and it is best to scoop up the good ones when you can. I had a friend who saw it in the morning and by the time she got home from work the flight she had wanted was already unavailable.

Hi Ann,
I am very happy with Hartford right now. I am paying 443.53 for three, r/t, ns, all taxes for the first of Sept. I used the RR code for 15% off.
