I am soooooooooooooo glad that I booked our flight with Southwest when I did. We were able to get our flights for $112 down and $99 back... Now they are $236 down and $142 back. YIKES!!!!!!!!!! Thank goodness for persistence. I am so lucky.

Good for you!

And I found the same thing. I bought the day they came available last week and used the 15% Ding for tickets at $145.10. Now if I were to book the same flights it would cost $220. The early am flight there must be getting full, as that's the one that had a huge price jump.

Good for you! These airlines are playing crazy with these fares, see something you like and you'd better jump right on it.

I paid $95 each way for both of us for a whopping total of $400 or so including taxes. I have my fingers crossed for a ticket pixie to come along. Congrats on your good deal!
