SWA Flights for Dec. 11

[Paula H]

I'm hoping someone here can explain this to me - SWA just opened up December for reservations earlier this week. Immediately, they showed the best fares for Dec. 11 as unavailable. Our flight to MCO is $79 - occasionally you'll see it go to $49, but not often. But the return flights are crazy - only the early morning ones are priced "normally" (we can't do early morning since we'll be disembarking from the Wonder that morning).

On average we pay $700 for my family of 4 to fly on SWA non-stop between Hartford and MCO. At the best price available now, it will be $900. But I still don't get how flights returning to both Hartford and Providence already say "unavailable."

Anyone else experiencing the same frustration??

At $900, it would certainly be cheaper to drive (which we've also done), but with two kids in the mini-van, I'd rather arrive at WDW with my sanity intact!

I'm having the same problem with our return flight after the Wonder in late October. As soon as they extended the schedule only the 2 early morning flights had the low fares available. I'm trying to decide between holding off for another week to see if the other flights open up (and go on sale!!) or to go ahead and book with Jet Blue or Song out of BOS which are offering better fares than SWA right now. The Jet Blue and Song flight times that are on sale don't work too well for us but the prices are right so I may just have to make them work!!

I can't decide either about what to do. I'm going to hold off - I have SWA Ding, and I often see Hartford to Orlando come up on sale for $49 or $79 each way - I just can't stomach paying $120 one way. I check Jet Blue today, and the flights down are fine, but the return flights are following the same pattern as SWA - the desirable return flights are quite pricey.
