SWA and other airline policies and prices

[Lorelai71]

Hi board! I need some help.

Planning a trip in Aug to WDW and got things pretty much figured out. Want to stay at CBR from 8-11 thru 8-20. My brother works nights so we figured he would come home at 7am on Thursday 8-11, sleep and then we would take an early evening flight-like 7pm.

Problem is that I just found out that he can't put in for his vacation until May. So now I am afraid to book plane tickets on the off chance that he does not get the exact vacation dates that he puts in for.

It seems to me that if I book a plane ticket and then have to change the date or the time of the flight then I would have to pay a fee.

I am wondering, those of you that have travelled around this time, do you think if I wait to book a flight in May that I would get a decent fare? I will be flying out from Philadelphia, PA

I don't think you have to pay a fee with Southwest. We have just started using them, and my husband has already changed some of our flights to get a better price with no fee.

Nope, never a fee to change on SWA. The only time you pay more is if the fare is more.

I have never had a problem the SWA.
Check out their website They just released flight dates up to 9/12/2005.
They are always the best with customer service.
