In anybody's past experience does Southwest internet fares that are marked "unavailable" every become "available"?

That usually means those fares are sold out already so hence..unavailable.

The internet fares that are unavailable usually never become available.

I have never seen them become "available"

I was hoping that maybe those fares were just not released yet. Oh well, wishful thinking.

THIS THREAD discusses some possible Southwest service cutbacks -- if the entire flight is "unavailable" it may be getting set for the chopping block. If just a few fare classes, then they are gone and won't be coming back.

I have seen it to. I booked my last cruise on a $79 airfare coming back because the $59 was unavailable. 3 weeks before the cruise, the $59 airfare was available so I changed it and SWA gave me a $20 credit towards future flight. You just need to keep checking back, sometimes they release the lowest fare and sometimes they don't.
