It's not just Southwest, Delta has cut back on their webfares quite a bit too. I can't even remember the last time I saw a cheap flight from DFW to CHS.
It was a pleasure and a hell of an evening
Truly was our night to win
But the authorities insist on my leaving
Take care my American friend

OK it's on Southwest.com

you download the program and it comes up with deals for your airport.
when it first came out it was mad cool.. Boise to Orlando for 59$
each way.. and like Boise to Portland 29$

but there are travel dates on the list.. when it started you had like 4 hours to make the deal and then another set of deals arrived..

now.. one a day.. if that.. :-?

Ding didn't offer anything worth a crap for me so I got rid of it. I don't like Southwest anyway
Well...(said in my best Bubba voice) I've been on sabbatical.

belt tightening by the airlines. Less flights = fuller flights = less last-minute seats they are desperate to sell.

Are dings more alluring / better deals than the SW emails?

I started to sign up for Southwest's ding! but stopped myself.
I can't go anyway. And it just upsets me when I can't go everywhere. Boy, do I need to win a lottery !!!

WAIT ! I could get a job.

:o ..... [smilie=blush.gif] .... [smilie=sadtard.gif]

NAHHHH. !
The hubby says next year I have a couple of choices:

Go to Stars and a concert, no MOTM
Go to concert and MOTM, no Stars
Go to Stars and MOTM, no concert.

I chose Cinci concert and MOTM.
Lulu will just have to do without me in 2007 ! :(
