I've very rarely flown Southwest because they didn't fly where I usually go and the airport they leave out of is kind of inconvenient.
However, they're adding a route this spring and I'm looking to book a flight for the summer.
Last week, one of the flights I was looking at was $89 one way ( I should have booked then, I know!) Now it's $129.
Should I wait it out a bit and see if it varies again and do they usually just go up as the dates get closer? |

Yes, they do. Especially this far out. They run a different sale every Tuesday which typically lasts until Thursday. Check back every week. No guarantee that they will go back down but at least a possibility! |

Yes they do. We booked flights for Orlando in February. I have been checking the flights periodically and recently they went down a total of $70 for the two of us. I just went in and changed the flights and got the credit.
Our flights were non-refundable so the $70 is on account but we'll find a reason to use them. If your flight is fully refundable, they would credit the amount back to your credit card.
I  Southwest! |

Thanks! Great tip about changing the flight. Maybe I'll go ahead and book and keep watching.
I'm also looking at a trip to Vegas this year to, so if I got any credit, I could use it! |

Install DING! It's a SW desktop app for macs and pc's and it will notify you of any sales on the route you want. And yes, I am positive you will find a deal but watch for date and time restrictions on deal flights.
