I booked our air fair for our mid November trip back in late May...$260 pp non-stop on JB...needed an afternoon flight to accommodate the kids school day...
current prices for mid afternoon non stop flights from Kayak are $400+...almost feels like I won the lottery...
If you're happy, it's a bargin.
I'm always looking the am of release date for SWA bookings. Have flown into MCO 4 times in last 7 months. Only for my upcoming October travel dates have the rates not dropped, substantially afterwards.
My theory is the flights are now being priced higher initially to challenge the market, followed by corrections.
We have a flight that departs from PIT to MCO on the Saturday after Thanksgiving on SWA. Let's just say we bought high in July as a splurge as it was a bonus trip.
The price dropped a week ago for our first substantial credit, with a slightly better flight time.
Yesterday, caught it to point where i likely have enough of a credit to pay for a RT flight for our next travel dates in April, 2018 & moved flight up to optimum departure time in lieu of the original late flight arrival
Today, same flight had increased 60%. Crazy to think it can fluctuate so quickly.
I check the flight prices up to time we leave when flying SWA, especially when using rewards.
I have the JB Plus card so I get free bags, the card has more then paid for it self.
. We are going down for a wedding and those prices made it possible for the trip
