32 one ways for me. Redid a few from the $30/60/90 promo and saved $5 on each. Coworkers got several as did a couple friends. For those of us who commute/work on the west coast, this was a hell of a promo. ^^

If most of those trips hold firm and trips don't get changed around last minute, I'll have A list for under $700. Then I can concentrate on hitting Gold on AS.

ps. I just looked at a few TUS-LGA routes in Jan/Feb and it looks like prices have dropped now that the sale is over. TUS-LGA on Fri Jan 22. was $203/$189. Now it's $154 for both flights.

20 one ways at $25. 3 were refares, 5 were for already planned but not yet purchased travel, and 12 were new sale fare induced travel. It's nice to be based in PHX with a variety of short haul destinations.

Not enough.

But I did book tickets for my 81-year-old mother-in-law to fly R/T CLE to MDW on her first airplane trip since before she was married in 1954.

So she now has her very own RR account.

I only booked 6 one-ways, but since I consult for non-profits that end up paying for travel, saved them over $100 each!

2 roundtrips (mostly restricted due to time, not funding), but one of them is for MLK weekend, and I've been meaning to visit Chicago, so I'm thrilled about it.

The fact that without using all the TTF available, it cost $2.30 total for both flights is a big plus. :)

Although this is most likely proprietary information, I am curious how many tickets WN sold in one day during this sale versus how many are sold on an average day. Can you give us a rough ballpark Brian or Victor???

I thought the $30/60/90 promo travel period ended mid-November, and the $25/50/75/100 travel period started in December. How did you manage this?

Approximately zero ... not much need to fly to STL or OMA ;)

I booked 6, but will have to change one, so really 5. If Sundays hadn't been excluded, I could have gotten 6 more. I am grateful Fridays were included this time!

I booked a $30/60/90 trip for November, but at the time I didn't realize I needed to be in Phoenix for work. So I pushed these trips back to February and saved the money.

4. Wish i could've taken more!

I did fly SFO-LAX-SFO yesterday at $40 O/W with 1 day advance purchase. That was nice.

Follow "Sweet Willie's" posts in Community Buzz to see if he's organizing a Chicago restaurant DO that weekend. Or PM him. He sponsors them all the time.

I just booked a couple of flights. I did think about book some MR's but the WN site is pain to use and not worth the time booking.

One roundtrip....for every week that the $25 fares were in effect (and then some). ^

Pain to use? Seems to me dead simple compared to some of the alternatives.

Actually, none. I'm already traveling too much during the sale's time frame, and going to any of the $25 destinations from either MDW or BNA at that time of the year was not particularly appealing.

I'm flying mostly UA for revenue tickets the rest of the year to hit Premier with their double-EQS promo so I can keep Economy Plus for ORD-DCA for one more year until hopefully WN gets into DCA. Then it's back to 4 WN one-ways a month to requalify for A-List again after I let it lapse for seven weeks from mid-April to mid-June.
