Thanks for the heads-up. While some of my existing reservations were booked well enough in advance that I got prices lower than what's available even today, one of my WGA flights did drop by 15% as of today and another dropped by nearly half!

I booked LAS-DAL on the Friday and Monday of Memorial Day weekend for less than $90 r/t. I like early out and late return and both were available for less than $45 each way.

International flights are dropping too. Just rebooked/repriced a BWI-FLL-SJO which was less than a month out for only $185.

Most of my bookings were done during the MAX8 window(s), so they are already at very low fares, but will be keeping an eye on those. Right now - no deals on those for me.


Same here, hard to beat MSP to LAS and TPA for ~5K points each way

My employer saved a bunch on a work trip due to my diligence, and a relative saved 60% off of a $400 circle trip in April when I reminded him to check.

Not as good as some for me but still... Rebooked ALB-RSW in early May (not to save money but due to change in plans) and got back $200 in credit for two.

At least for intra-California flights, the fare drop runs through June 3. After that, the fares seem to be the same as before.

Same with my normal routes. Worked out well for me - repriced all my flights until the first week of June. All $20-60 lower.

Just repriced a trip to/from BNA and saved ~13k pts

I’m getting multiple mid-cons out of MDW for $79 or $129, which is incredible. Added a weekend getaway with the wife with nothing out of pocket due to the points and cash savings on my other bookings.

My Monday morning commute flight is down to 60 pax, about half normal for this time of year. I admire the courage of employees to risk infection so that we can get where we need to go.

My nonstop commute flight this Friday from SJC to ONT has been cancelled without notice. I have to fly through Las Vegas or switch to one of the four remaining nonstops when there used to be 7 or 8 nonstops on a Friday. And remember, this is a Friday, not a midweek.

Unfortunately, the reason why I found out is because I was in the process of cancelling myself off of the flight due to coronavirus.

Southwest has always made it a point of pride that no employees have ever been involuntarily furloughed, and hopefully that record can be maintained. However, it does seem that some flights are being cut or shifted around. I went through my spreadsheet and repriced a few that were advantageous, but a number of flights which required DAL or HOS change of planes often were resulting in longer layovers, which I interpreted as the result of cutting out a few flights.

Interesting. My morning SNA-SJC was certainly less full this morning (empty middle). More shocking was the lack of a line at either airport Starbucks at SNA which is usually 30 people deep. It also appears that the early afternoon SJC-SNA flight (~3pm) has disappeared from the schedule. I took it home last Friday. Not sure if it was a normal schedule change or if they are reducing capacity

I’ll be most curious to see how this impacts the schedule extension being released later this week.
