Purchased my flights through SWA for March cruise in October. The only thing available was 100% refundable flights to the tune of $796 RT for 2 from Manchester NH/Orlando. I was very upset because my December flights were $250 rt per person. Not great but certainly better than $398 per person.
Since they were refundable rates, I kept checking the internet to see if they had come down. Today a co-worker said she got great rates on SWA. I went online and sure enough they price had gone down.
Gave them a call, they agreed to refund my purchase price and then I in turn booked on line for $418 rt for 2! A savings of $378!!
I was so disappointed in October that it cost me so much to book these but since I had gotten a great deal through DU for the cruise, then I could accept the high price air fare.
Im not sure if they wouldve been so understanding had I not booked the 100% refundable fare but, now Im glad I did. It doesnt hurt to ask and you may end up like me - saving a LOT of money
