Shri - would also love to see that fare go down. I feel like ORD-IAH keeps getting more and more expensive...!

This type of excellent Southwest sale seems to only come up 1-2 times per year. I haven't confirmed this yet, but it appears on first glance that you can combine this Wanna Get Away fare sale with the 15% off promo offer that is discussed at http://boardingarea.com/blogs/dealsw...hwest-flights/
Keep in mind, however, that the 15% off promo cannot be used when redeeming points....the discount is only applied when purchasing airfare.

ORD-IAH
scf, the UA jacked up the fare right after they finished merging their operating systems CO-UA. Till that time, I was finding fares for less than $200 mid-week travel. I think WN also did not help when they raised fares, now that they are taking the lead, and oil is under $90 per barrel, I hope UA matches, I will be all over that and buying like 8-10 round trips!!

I find it interesting that none of the hub carriers have matched yet. I recall during the last SWA semi-annual sale the then independent UA was the first to response quickly followed by CO and AA. DL initially had resistance but matched selectively later.
I have some travel I want to throw to AA at the right price but am thinking I'll be taking my first SWA flight this summer.
EDIT:
I was watching MSP-CHI, no matches as of edit, it appears that UA is matching MSP-(CHI)-STL though.
