Hey guys,
Two things going on with my pre-trip this morning, both related to airfare.
I should have titled this post, "How much is TK's piece of mind worth?"
Turns out Southwest came out with some fares today, $119 one way. Very, very close to my threshold for booking. However, they're not the most desirable times. Departing is 4:15, which I just can't do with DS...it gets in too close to normal bed time, and we'd be at the airport leaving for it at the end of his nap, and I just see that as having disaster written all over it. Now, if I'm willing to compromise on our flight coming home, we could get the $119 fare for 930am flight. No hot dog for TK on the last day.
Ah well. So, if I book the early flight I want to get to Florida in the am, and then the earlier departing flight to come home, the grand total is $816.
Very hard for me to fathom that this is the best there is, but I'm getting nervous since gas is sooooo much more expensive than it was last year at this time.
Now, in addition to this, in my DING fares, I see an announcement that due to the fact Southwest has been flying 37 years, they're releasing some special fares tomorrow.
Hmmm....
Do I wait?
If you book a flight, and want to rebook at a lower rate and get the credit, do you have to book the exact same flight times, or can you switch them?
Should I wait until July which is only a couple of weeks away?
I'm really not frenzied about this like I was before, I just don't know what to do.
Actually, I may be too calm.
Someone needs to smack some sense into me!
Please?
