SWA fares...what is the timeline?

[Rock'n Robin]

I priced out a bunch of plane tickets last week and SWA was not selling past June 7. We fly out July 11. What are the regular rates around that time from Detroit to MCO? I have a $197 price from NWA right now; I'd hate to wait to see what SWA has to offer and then lose that deal.

bump...anyone have any example of a fare out of DTW that beats $197 round trip?

I bought tickets last week for apr 4-11. 59 each way, they then went up to 130 each way a few days later and are back down to 94. This will be our first time with swa. I know that spirit had tickets for june at 54 each way - have you tried looking at theirs. I have no idea when swa posts their dates - we just decided to add a trip, finding the low prices and getting an ap discount on a room. Good luck.

I did check Spirit, but when I added both ways up it was comparable to NWA and had a stop--NWA is nonstop. I have never flown SWA and don't know what to expect or when they will post July. They are still onlly booking through June 9.

There's a great Southwest FAQ on flyertalk.com. They list historic (2 years) schedule extensions thru August opening around mid February.

If you decide to wait be sure to sign up for DING alerts.
