Official cheap WN transcons thread
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.

... 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.

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.

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.

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.
