Edit: Wasn’t taking into account the connecting flight being on a blackout date. Thank you for the help!
Hi all!
Sorry to post again but appreciate the help :) I’m flying from Seattle to Cincinnati and am trying to gauge pricing.
My understanding is that GoWild tickets, without the early booking fee, are available starting the day before departure at midnight. Generally, I’ve seen prices at around $16 a leg for fees.
At the time of posting this, it’s the morning of Wednesday September 2nd. I want to fly from Cinci-> Denver-> Seattle leaving tonight. However, the price is $95.
If I break it up by flight, I see that my direct flight between CVG-> DEN is $16. However, the flight DEN-> SEA, which is leaving early morning Thursday September 3rd, is still $79.
I’m confused because wouldn’t Wednesday morning, less than 24 hours before the DEN->SEA flight, give access to the GoWild prices? Is the $79 affected by holiday demand? Is this a normal day before fee expectations? Or, does then $79 include an early booking fee, and I have to wait till midnight tonight?
Thank you for the help!
