Flight Not Showing
On 9/27, I booked the return portion of a trip TPA to LAS with a connection in DEN. That particular flight is no longer showing up when I search for flights TPA->LAS.
Is there any reason for me to be concerned?
Also, since it doesnt show up, I cant check for fare decreases

Flight 5176 11:15am TPA to DEN
Flight 5083 2:45pm DEN to LAS

Does each leg they show up individually? If so, nothing to worry about, I've seen WN do this especially to/fro LAS, my conjecture is that they are saving/marketing the seats on other more profitable routes. You can price it as 2 one-ways and see if the fare is lower, occasionally that happens.
Maybe they will show back up in a few months. I was really hoping for a price decrease as they were 27k points each but the date is at the end of the released schedule.

It is still available to book individually. I dont want to book them separately as its the return from vacation flight for my family of 3.

The flights are there, WN is choosing not to show them to the OP easily.
Whether its a glitch or purposeful marketing, we don't know.
BTW, there are 13k & 10k nonstops, but at 7a and 7p i'd be considering if circumstances allow...

I have seen this a few times. I actually have a few bookings like this that don't show up anymore to purchase BUT still show as booked by me. A couple of MCI - MCO (connecting thru BNA). along with MCO - MCI (connecting via RDU). Also had a MCI - SNA (connecting thru DEN) as well. What happened as far as I can tell.. there system released a whole bunch of flight choices but then they decided to pair the list down and remove some. The individual flights still exist and your booking is still intact. You just can't re-fare it out.

I would prefer the nonstop (& the much lower price) but the schedule doesnt work for me. We are coming back from a cruise that morning and cant do anything before 10am. The 7pm puts us home after 9pm and we have to work the next day

Well right now you can book it for 23,768 as a multi city trip, get it on one PNR and be "protected", not sure if you can snag more than one. Never hurts to look or check back if you have the time! Good luck!

Can you do me a favor.. If you have the points, can you try actually booking that (or any other multi-city with less than a 4hr layover) and see if it actually works. For the last couple of months, I continually get error messages when doing mult-city bookings at the very last screen after putting in the credit card info. It doesn't matter if its a points booking or full cash, It always errors out if the multicity is less than 4hr connecting. If its over 4hrs and they bill you 2 seperate 5.60 fees, then it works. I even called southwest less than a month ago on one and the front line agent couldn't get it to work either.

You can save about 10k points/pp if you do the connection in ATL (get in around 6).

Gladly, did above, no problem, one 5.60 fee. FWIW, after switching (finally) to Windows7 from XP, I've had a lot less problems like what you describe above, which was frequent...
