I got an email from Southwest today that they are running a Caribbean airfare special and they are now booking Atlanta to Montego Bay direct.
Discounted fares if you book before August 14th with travel from 2 weeks out through sometime in December.
I put in a few dates at random and most came back at $300 pp r/t, close to half what we usually pay.

#Southwestairlines Deck Party Monday at Love Field. Great show and information about upcoming routes and plans to expand Houston and Ft Lauderdale. The strategy is to grow existing feeder markets, sorry no Philladelphia I asked:(.
Is Southwest really that cheap,the i wanna getaway cost shows $777.00 non stop, round trip for 2 people with 2 free bags.US Airs best price is 705.00 PP from Charlotte plus $50.00 for 2 bags each way so that is $1510.00 vs $777.00.Atlanta is 4 hours away from Charlotte(and our house)but for that savings we could stay in a park and fly hotel in Atlanta the night before we leave and save a bunch of Red stripe money!! Anyone know if there is some kind of catch to the i wanna getaway bookings?
no catches, that is just the term they use for early bookings.
Saving $800.00 so the $116.00 dollar park and fly is paid for and the beer money that is left covers most of the vacation.I have to run this by the Mrs. but it seems to good to pass up.Thanks for the info everyone,y'all are the best!
I paid 322 rt from Chicago non stop for Nov and 2 bags free you can't beat that
Wanna get away tickets are not refundable-so if you have to cancel your trip (or miss your domestic flight) it will cost you. That being said-I've flown Southwest often and would recommend it for service and price
With Southwest, if you have to cancel any flight with "Wanna Get Away" fare and do it within 10 minutes of scheduled flight time, you do not lose your money, it is rolled over into your account for future ticket purchases. Just sign up for a free Rapid Rewards Account, It will only cost you if the new flight is a higher cost, you will pay the difference.Quote:

I was actually thinking of posting about Southwest from MSP to MBJ. I've seen prices as low as $414 round trip in December (1 stop each way). Some flights go through MDW, others through Atlanta.
We are getting married at Sandals in March so I've been on a constant lookout for low airfare for people. Many of the older crowd is going direct on either Delta or Sun Country. With bags it is $750+ to go direct right now.
Flights open up for after March 6th on August 25th so I can't book ours yet. I have 45k miles to boot so probably won't have to buy more than a 1 way ticket.
