Southwest out of Milwaukee

We are booking to go out end of May and on the way back noticed two non stops coming home. Morning and night. We liked the mid afternoon flights coming home.

 

Last year we found nonstop at 250-275 no problem, this year 350+ seems to be average . Prices for March madness are bonkers!!

 

We always try to use our points and we buy an extra seat to be comfortable. We almost always get our points back for the extra seat but you never know so 3 seats this time if we were to use cash would be $1200 round trip.

 

@Wiscolovesvegas it’s the same for me from Detroit. It’s sad because I love having the live TV on the flight and I’m a serious overpacker, but some prices I looked at were $500 round trip. I could fly Delta for that.

 

Haha I feel ya on both. Looks like many of us are seeing or experiencing the same thing. What’s even more bizarre is our experience is , the farther out you book, the better your fare. Lately, it seems almost opposite. My March flight has dropped twice since we booked it. ( and yes your dang right I called both times to get reimbursed my points. Lol).

 

My southwest flight from MKE to LAS on June 14-16 on nonstops is coming in around $350

 

June 17-19th for us was 367 but our morning nonstop got changed to a layover.

 

To me I don't think that is too bad since the Vegas flights out of Milwaukee are probably the most popular.

 

Many times we just use points, however when we have paid....I’m used to fares being under 300 and more flexibility in non stops ( especially the very early morning) I agree it’s not terrible ... I just do not like cutting into my gambling budget HAHAHA

 

Hopefully when the get the Max planes back they add flights and prices fall, the virus scare may be what is bringing the prices down now. I agree the times and prices are bad, I'll take a free Junket to Biloxi or somewhere 1st

 

Lol. That gambling budget is NOT to be messed with! Do you ever go to Dejobe in Madison?

 

Only a handful of times ( I’m a smoker .. I know yuck right!!) so we go to poto. Poto is feast or famine but we like that they are super with bringing in the newest slots etc. how about you? I also heard hochunk has been updated but haven’t been there in years

 

We don’t smoke so we don’t go to poto. We like dejobe but usually, like all casinos we go to, don’t win. We went to dejobe Friday and Saturday and finally won so that was nice.

 

Congrats!! Yes even though poto has several non smoking areas the casino tends to be smoke filled ( and that’s coming from me lol) enjoy the awesome weather we are going to have this week. Perhaps spring will actually come to Wisco. Lol

 

No kidding! Hopefully we turned the corner.

 

I changed a booking June 14-16 out of MKE to LAS on southwest. Comes in now at $256 non stop, dropped quite a bit the last few days. Was leaving at 7PM from Vegas and now got a 1:50PM flight out. And dejope was my first hand pay

 

Awesome! We changed ours for May. Saved us almost $500 over 3 seats. Cheapest we've ever seen for Vegas at least for us.
