The message is now gone and the option to rebook within 14 days of original flight is no longer an option. At least for this window of time.
Hope everyone pounced while the pouncing was good!

Yep, gone for me too.
Did you buy your tickets yet? I am still hand-ringing. Prices are very high and the return flights that we want are still sold out at the Wanna get away rate. I feel like 3/7-3/14 is a terrible week to go to WDW but we are stuck with it. I was hoping at 3:00 PM today, SW prices would go down, but they went up. I guess itās time to give up and pay the price?
I havenāt bought mine yet. I keep going back and forth on it. The frustrating part is that the flight the week before and after are almost $500 cheaper (family of 5). Where are you flying from? Can we trade dates lol- your dates are super cheap for me!!
They know when everyoneās spring breaks are!
I guess so- itās so hard to spend so much one flights! Iād rather spend it while at Disney world! I just keep thinking that $500 could pay for after hours for my whole family. Not sure itās worth it to hold out any longer on airline tickets though!
I finally bought them today. I happened to wake up at 4am and checked and the price had dropped a couple hundred dollars. Fingers crossed you find a good deal too!

Wow, thatās amazing! Congrats! Was that price drop this morning 1/22? Did the price go back up later in the morning? Was the ācouple hundred dollarsā for all 5 of you or per ticket? Something just seems strange to me. Today/tonight every flight on our day of departure is the same price. Iāve never seen that before! I feel like SW is screwing around with the fares.
They are definitely messing with the fares! Ours were so expensive but then randomly dropped a few weeks ago and I was able to reschedule better flight times for less money ( I might have been obsessively checking). Now they are back up again.

I saved $180 total for all 5 tickets (one way)- so about $36 per ticket. When I checked at 6am the price went back to what it was last night. When I was tracking prices last night, I saw one flight (not the one I wanted) just $50 in less than 5 minutes. Itās insane! My DH said that a lot of airlines use AI to constantly change ticket prices and said to check in the middle of the night one time and I just happened to wake up and then decided to check. Last week, the price dropped on Sunday around 11:30am but I stalled and missed the deal.

Explain?
Airlines can inflate prices based on your IP address and saved cookies. Open a āprivate tabā in safari or go āincognitoā in chrome.

Ok thanks, I understand now. I always delete cookies, but I was unaware of Private Mode. I am going to try the middle of the night thing tonight. I get up at 5:00 AM every day, but I will try a little earlierā¦

From what I have seen, it seems to me that airline prices for spring break weeks this year have been very high compared to prior years. I have no hard data on this other than me looking at fares.
