If you click on the "Southwest Airlines 40% off" in the Quick Summary, it will take you to the page to make the reservations, the promo code is already entered. Or if you just go to the main page southwest.com, you will see the reservation box on the left side, there is an empty field with a question mark (it will change to 'Promo Code' ).

Sorry, but can't let this one go. It's ADVICE!

haha, no it's not buddy!

Not a good Deal for me. PHL to FLL (MLK weekend)

Prices were less last week. Looks like they rasied the prices and than gave 40% off.

Last week it took less than 8,000 points to go.

The 40% off does not affect points. This week 11,000+ points to go.

Since points are based off the cost, the cost went up.

However, if you are flexable a deal can be found. Much better prices during the week

Please advice how you got the senior rates? You're comment will be very helpfull.

Thanks.

When you book the flight, there is a drop box for quantity of adult and senior. You just enter the quantity. But the senior rate not available for all flights.

Hope you didn't buy the "Silently Correcting Your Grammar" T-Shirt

Anyone know if you get the regular amount of frequent flyer miles if you use the offer?

"Frequent Flyer miles" is based on how much you paid so if you got a discount, then the amount is the discount price used in the calculation of how many points you will get

mysteryAgain said:   Who is qualified for senior rate?

Seniors who advice people !! lol

Senior rates were chosen at the time I looked for flights (on the right side box dropdown). Not sure if they proof you! But my parents are old enough.

Sorry, so close, yet so far away. The difference between advice and advise

i agree that the prices with 40% don't seem much different then the regular prices....was doing pittsburgh to las vegas 1/25-1/28 $535 bones for 2

ummm sorry but original poster had it correct. Advice is a noun. It means 'a suggestion for a beneficial course of action'. Advise is a verb. It means 'to give advice'. "mysteryAgain" you did use the term correctly.

HOW OLD DO YOU HAVE TO BE FOR SENIOR DISCOUNT?

WHAT IS SENIOR DISCOUNT?

VEGAS!

EWR TO LAS $191, combine with Priceline Trump Hotel for a sweet deal. Anyone have any deals on H&B

Now got a trip for me, Buffalo to Orlando $493 for 3 people. I could have had it for $417 a day earlier, but we couldn't figure out dates we wanted to go... ;( The good news is that I just sold 63,000 air miles for $675 ! So that covers it!

Sorry, but can't let this one go. It's ADVICE!here's some advise (sic):Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.
-Abraham Lincolnsorry, couldn't resist.

Snagged a RT flight from Providence to Los Angeles for $165. How can you not travel when they give the seats away like this?
