Way to find/track best deal on flights?

If you go on to the Southwest web site and you'll see Flexible Dates (it's under Arrive and to the left of Promotion Code). If you click on that you'll be able to see the lowest pricing for every day in a month. So for PHX to BWI, 8/23 has flights for $179 and 8/27 from BWI to PHX $179. I stalk this calendar when I am looking for flights. It's easier than keep adjusting the dates. And remember to keep checking the pricing even after you purchase your flight. If the price/points decreases you can adjust and get the difference. I ended up with an $80 credit for my upcoming flight to Punta Cana since the price dropped twice.

This is very helpful! How do you go about getting the difference if the price/points drop? Do you cancel the flight & rebook or is there a better/easier way?

This is strange. When I went to the Skyscanner site, I got a RT price of $268. When I downloaded the app, I got a price of $378?? Not sure what's up with that?

That is weird. :/ Did you try to book with the airline?

Just go into the change flight option on their site and select the flight. Super easy! The points will be credited right back to your account. We have the companion pass which makes a little more complicated now.

Hopper shows current fares quite a bit higher than if I check at most any online sight. It does predict significant drops in the next few months for our trip. Hope so!
