Post best code share pricing here:
Since we are on the eve of the release of code share pricing, I thought I'd create a thread that focused on excellent deals. I'm hoping there will be some great deals that they come out with a BANG with! Post your valuable findings here to alert others.

domestic continental flights $299/Hawaii $599
Looks like SW stuck to their guns on the domestic, continental flights being a max of $299, regardless of whether or not they are codeshared. Hawaii looks like it's set to be a max of $599 walkup.

My trip of interest would be MCI-NYC (It would be nice to search LGA and EWR at the same time). They're showing the Internet one-way fares of $99 Saturday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, and $139 other days. I hope that when they're not doing a systemwide sale, they'll return to having weekly specials of $99 max. on selected routes seven days a week. Can we hope that maybe they'll start this with all the codeshares as the week's specials? Also I'd prefer to do this as a Saturday-Monday trip, and one can't arrive before 3 p.m. Saturday.

I don't understand why Southwest would issue a press release listing its "regular" prices when it's offering a $99-$149 each way codeshare sale.
Some skeptics in the new codeshare cities would look at those regular fares and write them off as ho-hum.
I hope this means there'll be a marketing blitz soon. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the mother of all fare sales come Super Bowl Sunday.

I pulled out of the air a couple dates in may...stl-hnl....for a week stay... the SWA cheapest fare was 250 higher ($775) than the cheapest fare on orbitz (which was flying aa nonstop to la and ata from lax to hnl)... now I am not too familiar with the prices stl-hnl....but this would be very high to pay houston-hnl. I couldn't try pricing hou-hnl on swa because they aren't allowing that connection for whatever reason The only new destinations I see for us in houston is bos, dca, RDU?, and ewr (I may have missed a couple as I am not all that familar with swa routing/possible connections out of houston ). I was hoping this would be a 'boon' for us...but it looks like 'much ado about nothing'
