For people who frequently fly between Nola and Dallas

I thought Southwest always did around $75/flight between Dallas and Nola but I can't find anything less than $260/flight for any weekend this year. Anyone know what happened?

I do not do that route but I do Fort Lauderdale to N.O. often. I just purchased some tickets pushed out way in advance and the weekends were a little higher than what I used to pay. I looked at some nearer trips and the weekends were really high for this route also.

check Spirit Airlines

Southwest really isn't really the low cost airline anymore. They'll usually be less but not enough to offset the trashy zoo atmosphere of it all.

Southwest is no where near what they used to be.

I fly it pretty often, but I don't know what you are talking about. The cheapest I've seen in the last couple years was like $180 round trip and that was 6 months in advance. Most of the time I fly it's short notice and it's $5-600 but that's for business select.

Could be the Wright Amendment that expired last fall. Southwest is now allowed to fly direct to anywhere out of Love Field in Dallas. Up until then, Southwest had to stop in an adjacent state and then continue on to wherever....Atlanta, Florida....So Nola would have been a mini hub for SWA back then.

I fly from Dallas to NOLA 2-3 weekends a month. Friday night and Sunday nights are the most expensive and packed flights. Try early Saturday and Monday morning flights. I flew for $80 roundtrip the last two weekends in January.
Edit: On Southwest I should add. Spirit is cheap, but they nickle and dime you and they only have one flight a day that leaves at 12:30.

Spirit, pack light

Weekends are always more expensive on SW. I flew Dallas to MSY 2 weeks ago for $41 each way. I left on a Wed night and flew back on a Monday.

Yeah they do! Use the "Wanna get away price". Book it 6 weeks before the flight for the best price "maybe". Sometimes the price will go up.

I'm flying out of NO to Dallas on Thursday morning and returning Sunday. Paid $106 round trip. Guess you have to time it right.
Not to hijack your thread, but how strict is Southwest with their carry-on bag policy? I have a bag that is 1 inch longer than the allowed carry-on size, and was wondering if they would make me check it? Trying just to bring the carry-on. TIA

Used to do Friday to NOLA and Sunday back to Dallas flights to come down to LSU games. I haven't seen a flight between Dallas & NOLA that cheap since maybe the 90's. Was paying $200+ for those flights since before Katrina.
