SWA schedule opened today. What did u get?

[yeahdisney]

I purchased one way
February MDW to Mco $169. March MCO TO MDW back $154.
Site was slow and I needed to book the out going in two separate pieces in case DD school work load too much and she and DH would travel later in that week. What would you able to purchase.

Well that was not a fun time this morning booking! The site got stuck on confirming my Early Bird confirmations and I was on hold for an hour (1/2 hour at home and then had to start all over again for another 1/2 hour on the commute to work - only to have the call dropped after 35 minutes. UGH!). I never did speak to anyone, but I left the confirmation page up when I left and it seems like it eventually went through. I checked SW when I got to work and it looks like it's good except for DH's Early Bird check-in.

We got PVD to MCO for two with Early Bird check-in for $534. That's only a $40 increase over what I paid in 2013, so I'm good with it. I was disappointed with the flight options though and hope that they add some additional flights closer to our travel dates. We have an 8:05 am flight out and we don't get to MCO until 11:15. The earlier 6:00 am flight, isn't a nonstop though, cost $100 more (???) and gets in a little LATER!

Good luck to everyone else booking today! I hope you get good flights!

Never had to book for Feb vacation week to MCO before. The prices were rather shocking. Ended up booking MHT-MCO which I'd prefer not to do in February but the times and prices were better than PVD. I had to take what I could get. Within 30 minutes of booking the prices jumped 50% so I'm glad I booked when I did.

We're not going to Disney this year, but I was impatiently waiting for flights to Tampa (going to Clearwater) for Presidents Day week. I got $226/RT per person flying out Monday morning from Buffalo, NY and coming home Friday night. We had to cut 2 days off of our vacation due to flight costs being almost double the days we wanted to originally book them for.

My husband has been begging for a relaxing week at the beach, so this trip is for him. If it was a Disney trip, I would have coughed up the extra money for the extra 2 days.

 

[stormer]

We aren't going to Disney this Feb for President's week. I decided to look at the prices, just for the heck of it. The cheapest flight left at 9:30 AM was $431! Wow!

 

[Michael623]

We have APs and DVC so we wouldn't have to pay for passes and I had already booked 7 nights at OKW once the 11 month window opened so although the airfare is higher than I've ever paid going to FL, the trip will still be somewhat reasonable.

We got R/T from PHL-MCO for $294.20 each person (not including EBCI), which is a little higher than I was expecting, but still within budget. Price for the return flight went up $20 right after we booked & I was on it as soon as it opened!

 

[KalamityJane]

We are headed to Disneyland, and beginning of February, so I was able to get what I wanted. Between companion passes and miles, (paid for half with miles, half with $$) I got 5 of us there and back for $642!

 

[lionqueen]

can someone tell me what time the flights opened??

 

[Lsdolphin]

Wanted to book RT from BWI to PBI (west Palm Bach) price going down low but prices coming back weekend of 2/20-2/22 more than double prices of Pres Day weekend! Anyone know why this would be???

Also the Wanna Get Away fare for Sunday was showing Sold Out or unavailable by 6:30 am this morning how is that even possible?!

 

[Delphinus317]

They opened this morning around 6:15am.

 

[roadtripper]

I totally forgot it was today until after 10! UGH! Nothing reasonable out of PVD by then, but did OK out of BDL with n/s Saturday, returning Friday night. Booked all flights home on points, and one down on points. STILL had to pay OOP almost 700 for 3. Yikes.

 

[lionqueen]

They opened this morning around 6:15am.

6:15 EST?? I thought I read someone say they were up at 5:00 am must be they were CST??

 

[Delphinus317]

Yes, that was 6:15am EST. I should have clarified.

 

[niffer5150]

i got 3 flights from mco to lax for $215 each. i can't believe how much flights have gone up in the last few years. last trip to wdw, we paid under $900 for the 3 of us, round trip. oh well, at least they had the departure times i wanted.

 

[Lucille1963]

Our family is going to Disneyland in late Jan/early Feb and I booked this morning.
I didn't realize there was such a rush to book right at the beginning and I was surprised to see a handful of Wanna Get Away fares no longer available.
I was also disappointed to learn the the direct flights from Chicago Midway to John Wayne are no longer in service. Oh well, a layover is better than dealing with LAX!

Thankfully, we had SW points saved because the fares were far more than we've ever paid. Round trip would have cost $500pp!!

I'll be watching to see if the rates ever dip so we can get some of those hard earned points back.

Looking for 2/25 (Wednesday) thru 3/3. (Tuesday) out of BDL. Decent times but @ $113 each way, too high to book. So the waiting game begins! Looking for no more than $101.

I would jump on $113 each way!

I got on SW a little after 6:30 and couldn't believe how many flights were already sold out or unavailable at wanna get away prices! We are flying from Buffalo over Presidents Week and I had originally wanted to go from Friday 2/13 and come home the following Saturday. The prices were insane! I ended up flying down on Presidents Day itself and I will come home the following Tuesday 2/24. Our dates were flexible because I am staying with my parents who are camping at Fort Wilderness the entire month of February. I ended up paying $113 each way which I think is pretty reasonable. Last year I got up super early and bought tickets for February break ( Thursday to Thursday) and if seemed like the flights were more available and cheaper over the weekend.
Let the countdown begin!!!

 

[MindyLuvsMickey]

I was able to get flights from BWI to MCO for $113 each way. With EBCI, we are a family of 4 flying for under $1000. I'm not unhappy with that at all.

If a sale comes out, do they match the price or adjust it?
