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.Originally Posted by rickme
Done deal,ended up being 869.00 for the 2 of us with early bird,round trip with free bags and now we will spend a night in Atlanta before and after vacation.Perfect way to go!!
I am curious about the early bird check-in. I am not a good flyer and there is NO WAY I will fly without being able to sit next to my husband. I am contemplating spending the extra $ (which is quite a lot extra) on the Anytime or Business Select tickets to insure that we do not get separate seats.
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.
Your're right Mike_D, I normally take US airways because of the direct flight and getting to Jamaica early. But the 2 free bags and $200 savings talked me into giving them a try. I hope there's no flight issues...my dates are tight so no room for delays going or returning. Wishing you and your wife a wonderful visit!
Thanks *vi*! Hoping you have an awesome trip too! Maybe we'll bump into you on the rock.
oh how nice that would be to meet you and your wife! But Mike_D, I'll be in Portland somewhere...if you two happen to venture to the east coast, drinks are on me
I want to thank all of my fellow boardies for all your help in this post. Cindy and I booked Southwest out of Midway (Chicago) for the last week of January, 01/24/2015 for $640.00 for both of us nonstop with great flight times. We have never flown out of Midway before but we couldn't pass it up. Thanks again
I've booked flights without early bird check in and just made sure i checked in for my flight at exactly 24 hours ahead and have usually been in group A or at least early group B have never had an issue with finding seats together..
Southwest is awesome imho. Just be sure to check in on line 24 hrs prior and get boarding group "A". I am so excited about SW flying to Montego Bay. So excited that I just bought my dear husband and myself 2 round trip tix from Music City for $750 for Feb! Looking forward to this VS the crappy Spirit airlines experience last year.
