Download DING to get notice of cheap airfares from Southwest Airlines


ding_screen.gifHave you been hearing about the great airfares available as a result of this economy? I'm going to Ohio to a wedding in April and I sure didn't get much of a deal on airfare to Dayton.

There are good deals out there if you can find them. I signed up for the Spirit Air $9 Club, and get emails with great offers if you want to go where and when their offer is available. I jumped on a $1 ticket to NYC in May, which cost me $25 round trip after all the fees.

A co-worker, Justin, a frequent traveler, tells us he downloaded DING from the the Southwest Airlines website...which you can then check daily for their latest offers. If you are in the mood for a vacation, and aren't committed to where and when, this might be a fun way to plan an impromptu trip.

Justin also says, "I'd also suggest www.kayak.com for finding cheap hotels/flights/rental cars. It's awesome! I generally run my email specials up against the kayak results to get my airfare."

Tell us where you are going these days. Any good deals?
