Right now I'm playing a bit of chicken with Southwest - I don't think fares will go any higher than they are now until closer to my travel date (6 Nov). I have a set "purchase by" date in my head IF the price doesn't go down before then. But I'm wondering about DING fares. Right now they're good through 31 Oct. Anyone have an idea when they'll move into November dates?
(Of course, DINGS to Orlando have been few and far between anyway, but a girl can dream, right?
)
FWIW, the fare now is $160, ALB-MCO on the first nonstop flight of the day. The first flight of the day is 2 hours earlier (6:25am) and gets in 1 hour earlier with a connection thru BWI, but is $134 - not enough of a savings to merit getting up that early for a 1-hr difference. I already booked our tickets home when the fare dipped to $99 one day, but at $160 it'll be the most expensive non-business travel I've ever booked with SWA.
