Southwest is having a GREAT DEAL this morning for any of you that are interested!! I got my flight for only $89 each way! I was told out of Buffalo, NY it was only $49 each way!!! Definitely check it out if you haven't booked your airfare yet!! YAY I'm going to Conference!!! WOO HOOO!!!! :D:D
 
Lucky you :) I just checked and to leave out of Manchester NH it will cost me a total of $340 round trip. United will cost me $271. Going out of Boston is running $215 for Air Tran and $281 for Jet Blue. Almost not worth driving into Boston for the price difference being only $60. Between tolls and gas and certainly traffic it's easier just to go to Manchester which is only 20 minutes or so from my house.
 
I booked mine from Nashville to Chicago from Southwest for $137 round trip yesterday! I am so excited since this is my first conference!
 
I booked mine 2 weeks ago and got $179 roundtrip from Orlando to Chicago!! YAY!
 
I'm so bummed. I just booked through Southwest last night. My director's director found the $69 each way online price. When I looked it up, the return flight had jumped to $129 or something. I was worried that maybe they were running out of seats, so I bought my tickets, totaling $226.20. Today, the price went back down. Just my luck! Well, at least I have a seat. I just didn't want to risk the flight being full or the price going even higher. Oh, and this is from Phily to Midway. (I hate Phily, but oh well...it's a nonstop flight and perfect time plus I'll be with my 2nd line director and another cluster mate.)
 
Oh my goodness! I LOVE SOUTHWEST!!! I just called them, figured what the hay, doesn't hurt to ask if I can get refunded since the price just dropped. The girl was so nice and helpful and said I could. She walked me through it step by step and they are refunding my credit card!!! YAY!!! :D :)
