Go to Southwest.com and download a program, called DING, to your computer and it will tell you when a special price for airfare is available for your city. It is only for people that have the DING on there computer. You can save a lot of money. Good luck. I am looking for MCO to MDW April 15 2006. I already got my tickets from MDW to MCO for $49 one way, for April 6, 2006

It's comparable to the email notifications other airlines give you for fare sales to selected destinations. You must have (anybody with enough computer disk space can have) the Ding program downloaded. I'm told you can actually hear an up-to-the-minute "ding" if you are on line when Southwest announces a fare sale but I don't know how to configure the Ding program.

As with all airlines, seats available at the sale fares can be extremely limited. It has been said that if you don't respond "as soon as you hear the ding", you may miss out.
