SWA Internet Only Fares Gone?!?!

[robinb]

I just checked SWA's website and I don't see any Internay Only fares! The fares from MCO to MDW almost doubled from $79 to $149.

I picked up a Ding! fare from MDW to TPA one way last week. We're open-jawing out of MCO on the way home and I thought I would keep an eye on availability on the return trip and hope for a good Ding!. If availabilty started to tighten up, then I would book my return trip. I got a Ding! today and noticed that the fare from MDW to TPA was $94 and not the $74 I booked last week which made me look at the SWA site to see my return date MCO to MDW and then saw there were no Internet Only fares.

Please tell me that SWA's server is burping.

My dates still have some internet rates..although once they are all filled, they often stop showing them. The rates went up, because the big sale ended last night.

D'oh. I didn't know that sale was ending last night. Shoot! Since my dates are in August, I guess I'll just hang on for the ride and wait for the next fare sale. Or a Ding! I just didn't want to have to futz with a refund in the form of a SWA travel voucher. {{sigh}} I'm new to SWA. I would have booked both flights with another carrier. Live and learn. Pay more .

The Internet Only fares were there for every flight last night, but are all gone now.

The internet fare sale was through April 21st. They will probably have another internet sale in the future, just keep checking back!

We are going in June and we booked the Internet Only fare. We are also tentatively going in August and I have been checking and the only fares I saw were $79 each way at the website. How did I miss the $49 for August?
I even played with the dates.

Well, I will keep checking...

I just changed my airfare yesterday. I was origanally flying AA airlines $1300 for roundtrip family of 5 from ohare to MCO. I found at orbitz 5 roundtrip on United (TED) for 584.00 (plus a $35 service fee total of $619).(leaving AUG 16-23). i then called Disney back to see if they could get me this airfare, so they redid my reservation and got the airefare for $580.00 and obviously no orbitz service fee. I ended up saving $697 on my trip. I did have to change dates we were suppose to leave Aug 14 but changed to 16th but to save $697 it is well worth it.(especially for family of 5)

The Internet Only fares for August were $79. The $49 fares were through June, I think. My DD is in school through the first week of June, so we couldn't use them.

I was able to get a Ding fare from MDW to MCO for August for $104.60.

This includes all the taxes & fees.

Good luck maybe they'll have another one soon.

I just picked up a $66 Ding! on Southwest from MCO to MDW on the right date at the right time. My DH was pretty grumpy that I passed on the $79 fare last week.

ETA: Luv2go2WDW That's an awesome fare! That was pre-Ding! for me. I was uncertain about installing it, but I kept on seeing great fares pop out of it. I'll keep on eye on the future Dings! and see if I can better my price.
