Trying to figure out airline pricing is always fun.

I've been checking every few days, and it appears Southwest offers it very lowest rates beginning 4 months before the dates of travel.

Just booked convention airfare from SoCal..$49 each way to Las Vegas for the convention week.
The exact same times/dates a few days ago was $94 each way.

As Earl Scheib used to day..$119.40 roundtrip, inclusive of all taxes out the door, no ups and no extras...riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!
