Official cheap WN transcons thread

**nsx** · Nov 13, 06, 11:28 am

Today's Ding sale (through 2 PM Central Time) includes some $52 and $61 fares between San Diego and Ft. Lauderdale. And to think I was upset a few weeks ago at not being able to redeem my NW miles for this trip!

This is the third recent instance of transcon fares in the $50-$60 range, so we can probably expect more of them this winter. Therefore I would like everybody to use this thread to post news of hot transcon fares on WN, Dingo or otherwise.

This afternoon's DING!, good until 10:45 CST:

PHX-PHL $51 One-Way
BWI-LAS $49-$69 One-Way
LAX-FLL $76 One-Way

... and FLL-SAN $44-$49. Wow.

Edited to add:

Taxes on these are $14 each way rather than the $7 I'm used to. Also, look for non-Ding fares. I found a $51 non-Ding fare from FLL to SAN today too!

Edited again to add:

Yesterday's $39 intra-California fares are now $44. And these fares are good through all of December rather than only through December 19th.

$66 each was BWI-LAS!

Bookable over MLK Jr. weekend (Thurs-Monday)

SAN-FLL for January is $74.40 including all taxes on the current Internet Special. That's outstanding. Current $39 (=$49.30 total) fares intra-California are also as good as it's going to get with oil at $60 a barrel.

Today's DING
IAD-PHX -$64-74OW
But you have to use specific flights at each price point

dcstudent · Dec 2, 06, 3:16 pm

Newest Ding...until 10PM tonight: BWI-DEN $44-49 each way.

I know...not transcon, but I figure its close enough...and getting to Denver from the D.C. area for about $100 is pretty darn good.

kyrielsn · Dec 2, 06, 4:18 pm

until 8pm
JAX - SEA $54 OW
MCO - SAN $65 OW

until 10pm
MCO - BNA $44 OW
TPA - CMH $44 OW

Most of January 2007

Dan Burgess · Dec 20, 06, 8:09 am

Current special has BWI-LAS for $54-$63 on a number of flights through January 30. Valid until 11:45am this morning.

crhptic · Dec 20, 06, 12:46 pm

Wish I had found this thread earlier! This past weekend they had IAD-DEN for $44-$49 and IAD-LAX for $59-$69.

If you're currently on the BWI ding list, I'd suggest adding IAD. I guess because they're trying to attract more interest in the new service at IAD, the Dings there have been way better than the BWI ones for the last few weeks.

**curbcrusher** · Dec 20, 06, 3:20 pm

PHX-PIT and vice versa for $49 each way. Insane!!

ahecht · Jan 9, 07, 6:38 pm

IAD to LAX, $69 each way. Lowest I've ever seen a coast to coast that wasn't to Florida.
