I am considering extending our stay by one day but the flights on our return date are mostly sold out or very expensive. Does SW ever add additional flights when the available ones fill up?
This is extremely rare with Southwest, I've seen it maybe twice when searching through many many flights.I am considering extending our stay by one day but the flights on our return date are mostly sold out or very expensive. Does SW ever add additional flights when the available ones fill up?
It's very unlikely. With their older aircraft taken out of service last year and Southwest slowly taking possession of new planes, their fleet is stretched thin, these days.I am considering extending our stay by one day but the flights on our return date are mostly sold out or very expensive.

Yes - WGA CAN disappear for multiple reasons and then come back. If it doesn't come back though, best to have an alternate plan.One thing they do occasionally do though is to release more seats for WGA fares, am I right? I know I've checked at times and there are no WGA fares available but then the next day they show up again. I assume it's a matter of shifting seats from one category to another, rather than just cancellations.

I'm kicking myself because the flight to MCO I was planning on taking in September when up $70 overnight! This is really the only flight time that works for me due to work and it's duration. The return flight I was looking at increased too, but I have more flexibility with that one. What was going to be 40,000 points round trip to book is now closer to 60,000.
I'm a little under 6 months out...any idea if there's any rhyme or reason to price drops or do I just have to check daily and pray the price goes down?
If you don't have enough points to book the roundtrip, now, I suggest booking one of the flights, to guaranty it won't go any higher in cost. You then can keep a daily watch on both flights, for a lower fare. I always book two one-ways - so much easier to work with for changes, etc., or necessary, if I do one way with points and the other with a paid ticket.
Since you will be booking with points, you have nothing to lose, doing this. You can always cancel, and the points will go back to your RR account and the taxes and fees to your original method of payment (if the fare does get less expensive, don't "change:" cancel and rebook, otherwise, your taxes and fees will be non-refunadable and must be used toward another ticket, before the expiration date. It's so instinctive to just change it, but sometimes a problem to apply those TTFs to future travel, if they accumulate.
Don't kick yourself, just yet. Keep an eagle eye on the flights. If you only need one or two seats and are not going till September, you have a good shot at finding a better fare.I'm kicking myself for not booking the one way fare when I was contemplating it 3 days ago. Grrr.
Some planes have free TV. You have to pay for regular WiFi. I seem to recall $8, but don't know if that has gone up.Does SW offer wifi? DO you have to pay?
. Most of their planes have wifi. They have about 10 TV channels you can watch for free. There are also a few games that can be played.Does SW offer wifi? DO you have to pay?
All aircaft are equipped for Wi-Fi, now, but a few routes may not offer it, due to regulations. The fee is $8.00.Does SW offer wifi? DO you have to pay?
