Thanks for letting us know Southwest floated out new rates today, July 12. As I mentioned above, in Chicago waiting usually pays off. Today flights went from being $162 each way to $99 each way for the time we want in late January. In essence, a $63 drop each way after five days. I wonder why Southwest does that. It had to know when it released the original rates on July 7 that it was going to slash them five days later.
