SW recent specials...where'd they go?

[CaptJack]

I suppose the old saying you snooze you loose. Yesterday I checked SWs site and the internet special was a lot less than it is today. In your opinions, should I hope or expect them to reinstate the lower fares sometime soon?

I know I know...I should have booked it when I saw it

Thanks

CaptJack,
SW sometimes has a couple of specials going on at a time. There is the weekly specials they publish on Tuesday which last until Thursday (midnite--Central time--I think) and then they have other specials from time to time that usually last for a little longer period of time.

There will be more specials published on Tues, no telling if they will offer your special again or not--I have noticed that sometimes they do offer some of the same cities the following week..

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

if it is of any consolation to you....here is what happened for a planned trip to las vegas....

originally, was going to use a rapid rewards ticket to go, however a couple of weeks ago they came out with a fare for 180$ which i thought was reasonable....well i snoozed on that one and lost it....back to square one using the rapid rewards...


last week they had another internet special ....but this time it worked out to 161$... once again i waffled on the purchase ( even though southwest has one of the fairest cancellationa and refund policies )

well this week, they had a fare to las vegas ( depending on the day you fly ) for 137$ .....we jumped on that one but had to add a week of vacation which we were planning for next year to sedona.....which is no big deal .....just we are going in november instead of jan/feb 2003


so they do continue to add "deals" each week......we feel that 137$ r/t non stop to las vegas is a good rate

$139. sounds great till they tell you on the news that there are fares to Vegas for $19. LOL !! But it was from L.A. to Vegas!
