Benny, I went to
http://www.southwest.com and looked at 7/11 outbound and 7/15 return. I found anywhere from $370 up to $625, depending on which flight you select under their "wanna get away" fares. To me, there are just so many benefits to flying Southwest. It is a great airline, with great service. There are no baggage fees, which is at least an extra $50 for roundtrip (1 bag) on other airlines. (I
refuse to pay $50 to take clean underwear with me on a trip.) If you spend an extra $10 for Early Boarding, you check-in on line 24 hours ahead of your flight and you get a low boarding number. I don't think I have ever boarded lower than 20th or so. They don't reserve seats, so the lower your boarding #, the greater your seat selection (you get on the plane and take any empty seat you want.) If you do this, get to the website and check-in exactly 24 hours early to get the best number available.
Get to the airport, check in at the curb, wander over thru security and go sit at the gate. You don't have to stand in line to get a good seat, because you all ready have your number. When they call for boarding, you stand in line according to your number, and get on board and take any seat you want when they start boarding.
Most flights I saw involved one stop, Las Vegas, Phoenix or Denver and most involved a plane change, a few didn't. But a lot I saw at Rokkerrs site did, too. Plus that extra $50 for clean underwear and a toothbrush. I tried to get Rokkerr and Vicky involved in Southwest a year or two ago, but they didn't want to bother.
Rokkerr, get the hell over to Southwest, sign up for their Rapid Rewards program and start saving some money. Vicky will kiss you for not making her pay $100 (2 bags, lol) to carry clean skivvies and an extra bra. And, who knows, she might even give you a little hot sex after your bath tonite.
No change fees if you need to change your reservation. No baggage fees, low boarding numbers. Join their rapid rewards program and earn points when you fly, and other ways, too. Of course, they had a 20,000 point special when I joined, but I have all ready taken 1 free flight and have enough points to fly free to Tampa later this year.
I just don't think you can beat Southewst, Benny. They fly out of Burbank to Midway. The only way to get their tickets is to go to their website. They don't do travel agents and they don't do travel sites, like Travelocity or Orbitz. This is one way they keep their prices low.
I would say go there and look around. That would be MY best deal.
