Does Southwest ever lower their flight prices?

Do they ever lower their lowest price or do they just sell at that price until that fare is sold out? (sounds almost like a tongue twister, lol)

It depends. Their "Get Away" fares are sometimes discounted but I think the DING fares are the most popular sales. You will need to download the software if you haven't already and monitor the sale (generally changes every 12-24 hours). However, for certain popular flights (i.e. FLL or LAX) there are less chances for a reduced fare.

Yes they do offer lower fares at times AFTER you have paid for your ticket and thats where they SHINE ! If you find a lower fare... cancel and rebook the flight (w/out fee's) and savings can be used towards a future travel date within a year !

 

SW.... No baggage fee's.... no change fee's..... I will deal w/ unassigned seats ! :cool::D:)

Yes, they sometimes offer there prices. With that said, we normally book earlier to get the lowest price they offer at the time. We get a non refundable but if a lower rate came available we could take the credit and use it towards the cost of a flight within 1 year of the time we booked the original flight.

Keith is right, as usual...if the price drops (or, as we did, you make a change resulting in a lower fare) you can get a credit (no cash refund). All you have to do to use the credit is to key in the confirmation # from the ORIGINAL flight.
