SWA child fares???

[Fabooliss]

I was just reading the SWA website and buried deep in the FAQ it says they have child fares that you have to phone to obtain. Anyone know if it is worth using these or if the "internet specials' and ding fares (oh please, come on ding!) are better?
Thanks!

You are better to book a DING or an internet special.

I called the first time I booked with them and that was the advice I was given.

I agree ... the DINGS or internet specials are cheaper than booking a child rate through SWA -- at least it was last year when I called.

Thanks so much... I thought I'd better check!

Every $ saved on my flight is another $ in Disney's pockets... hmmm there is something wrong with that?
