SWA--Will the prices come down or did I wait to long?

[tiggergirl31]

Trying to book PVD to MCO on SWA. Two weeks ago I could get a flight for 119 each way. I waited to book b/c I was not positive that I could get the time off from work. Of course now that I have confirmed that I will have the time off the flights are now 134 each way. Do you think there is any possibility that they will be cheaper if I wait a week or should I just book them now?

with sw I always say Book when you see it...
Do you have DING, they release some discounted fares to fill up the planes. Good Luck!!!

A couple weeks ago my May flights dropped to $79 for a Thurs. night and $69 for a Wed. day flight, then they went back to $116. Now they are showing at $134 since Friday. I think there's a chance they might go back down to around $116, but who knows for sure??

If the flights are what you want, then I'd book now. Then if the flights drop, you can rebook and get the difference in a ticketless travel fund that's good for a year from booking date.

HTH!!!

Honestly, I would book it now. I ended up playing a bit of chicken--my fare was at $137 and I waited around and then it jumped to $170. I figured I'd give it a day or two to see if it went down, but it jumped again to $211, then $235! Then I was really in trouble. I knew I could book a flight on another airline for about $175 with baggage fees but with a stop, so I waited a little more and it went back down to ~$211 and I snagged it. Since then it did go down more and I got a $42 credit. But man, that is not how I like to do things and that anxiousness and checking every day is for the birds!

I assume this is for the trip that is your first countdown in your sig? I should add that mine started going up about 8-9 weeks out and the drops came about 4 weeks out.

Good luck!
