SWA Question

[Cruz91]

Anyone know if SWA has a time-period from the travel date where rates really jump significantly (example, less than 7 days, or less than 14 days away from the date of travel)? I am getting some rewards points that will show up on my account probably around October 5 or 6 (from credit card transaction), and want to use the rewards to buy a ticket to travel Oct 14 or Oct 21. So that would be either a 8 day or 15 day in advance of the travel date.

I checked and it looks like if I book now for anytime from 8 to 21 days out, the rates are pretty much the same. For 7 days and sooner, much higher. I'm hoping that's typical...

TIA...

I have noticed that prices start going up dramatically within 30 days of the flight. Unless, they are trying to fill a flight and they will have good web only pricing until the flight is full.
