Hi To All Southwest Experts,
I need your help. It seems I always seem to book my December trips too late. The airfares from LAX (or any airport close by) to Mia/FLL are crazy expensive right now. I am a family of five traveling with another family of five. We have several arrival dates planned and the same return date. I have miles on several airlines that I have access to, however I was thinking about waiting a week to see if the Southwest, Wanna Get Away fares might be reasonable. In which case, instead of blowing through miles for domestic fares (saving them for business international) I would be willing to fly routing which includes 1/2 stops, if the fares are indeed reasonable.
So...Do you think when the fares first get posted that they will be at all reasonable, or will they automatically start at the same ridiculous rates everyone else is posting? I'd love to hear your thoughts on the matter. I am just getting a little bit nervous that if I wait and the fares are crazy and then I need to use the miles that they won't be available for when I need them.
I need 3 tickets LAX-FLL or MIA (I know SWA doesn't fly MIA) Dec 18th (anytime) or 19th (arriving before 6PM) and returning Jan 3rd, after 7PM.
I also need 4 tickets Dec 19th-Jan 3
And another 3 Dec 25th or 26th-Jan 3
Thank you for your thoughts!!!
