SWA Dec/Jan fare watch/questions??

[riu girl]

I am hoping that SWA releases their Dec/Jan fares prior to the Florida sale ending on Aug 4 (and that the sale prices will be available for the new fare dates released). I believe that last year they released these fares dates July 29.

I have to book the following fares:
Sat. Dec 17 BUF-MCO (4 fares). I have noticed that other airlines are ending their sale fares by Dec 15, letting me assume that Dec 17 would be peak Christmas time since some school districts are finished up for the holidays by then. I would then guess that a $99 OW fare (price based on a current Sat Dec 10 fare) would be good for this date since it is peak. Any thoughts??

Sat. Dec 31 MCO-BUF (for DH) I KNOW that this is peak time and will book a $99 OW (if I am able to book the current Florida sale). I would be very happy with this fare price.

Sat Jan 7 MCO-BUF (me, DD, DS) I assume that this is considered non-peak time. Should I book with the current sale (if I even am able to ), or should I hold out for a better price later this fall?? Since I will be travelling alone withthe kids I REALLY want to book a NS so I wonder if I should just go ahead and book it?

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated on this matter. Obviously I am NOT SWA savvy and any advice would really be great.

Thank you
Suzy V.

I see that there is a Florida Sale going on - it is for travel August 18 through September 29, 2005 on Southwest airlines between Orlando and Buffalo.

Where are you seeing sales through to dates December 15th??? I travel on December 11 and want a sale fare - Help!

I just checked BUF-MCO Dec 11 and both jetblue and airtran have flights for $59 US plus tax one way. Great price.
I don't know if you need Dec BUF-MCO or vice versa. I will check MCO-BUF and let you know.

Awesome - thanks!

I just saw the $59 R/T BUF-MCO. I return December 17th, right now Airtran still has it as a $89 fare... maybe I could book one way on AirTran or Jet Blue and return on Southwest if they have anything good when those fares get released.
