Does Ding still have low prices?

I used Ding about 3years ago and saved some money on a flight to Vegas.
Does SWA Still send out daily Dings that save money off the lowest published rate.
Thanks for any input.

My experience is it depends on where you live and where you want to go. I rarely see an offer from OKC to Las Vegas, which is my preferred flight.

Lately ( for the last 5 days) I have received no Ding fares - I am thinking that this might be tied to the budget crisis stupidity that we are experiencing.

Seem to be much less than previously at least on my flights from Nashville to Las Vegas. Sad to say my next two trips are booked on another
airline. Prices were just to good to pass up. I love southwest and I am willing to pay a premium but not 50% more.

Airlines in general have been doing a better job to match inventory (seats) to demand (passengers). As such, there are less empty seats and therefore less incentive for airlines to discount seats.

I believe it certainly pays to subscribe to Ding and if you fly Southwest often enough, to lock in on a low fare if you think you might make the trip. With Southwest, even if you cancel, the funds sit in your account for future travel for a year from the date of purchase. If you're not a frequent SWA flyer, this strategy might not play as well for you.

As you likely know, there's no cost to subscribe so why not do it? It's particularly useful if you have more than one airport that you can conveniently travel from so as to be able to shop prices from a few originating points.

I was going to Vegas the 10th of sept for the 1st week of NFL games.
Well it looks like we want to take off a week early and enjoy labor day weekend also.
question.

What to do with my SWA tickets. I guess I will use those funds to purchase my new tickets.

How do I go about doing that?
Do I cancel the tix I have already and apply the funds.
Do they give you a code to apply your available funds on your new tickets?

Thanks for your help.

Chihuahua- If you call Southwest an operator can walk you through the steps. I have had them do this for me - they are the best.

Thanks, I just canceled and rebooked online. It was pretty simple. It would of cost me $76 more if I had waited till today. Only ding will make it lower priced.

In my opinion DINGS are now worthless.....I haven't seen a decent one in years!!!

That's been my experience, I've had it for about a year. I'm in the Tampa area, and the only Dings I've gotten were for relatively local flights, like West Palm or Jacksonville. NEVER anything for Vegas.
