I think it was the getaway tool that was retired last year that I'm thinking of, but can someone who has been around a while clarify for me: I thought I had read a post a long time ago about being able to search for low fares by date, rather than destination. I would REALLY like this tool, because sometimes we have a long weekend available that we could fly with points, but no real destination in mind. I'd love to just be able to find the cheapest flight from our home airport to *somewhere* so we could explore. Is anything like this available? (Was it previously on the getaway tool?) Has anyone found a way to do this with the current system? I don't find google searching to be any more convenient for this sort of search (for any airline much less SW). If there's a way to do it there, then please inform.

Fresno would've saved us a TON of drive time (and tiredness) on our last big family trip. Miami would be nice. (Yes I know FLL isn't that far, but it's a dream list, right?)

I've noticed that our non stop flights down that way appear seasonal. I couldn't find one to TPA in Nov, but then for April I could. Are they all gone, or just during your specific travel window. Last I looked for that combination I found at least one or two, I thought. I definitely appreciate the non-stop with kid who doesn't wait in airports well, so I feel for you.

As for the careful wording, something like "Our records indicate that you missed a leg of your flight. We hope that you made it to your desitination safely. Within 24 hours we will need to cancel the remainder of your trip unless we here from you about the status of your travel..." Yeah, that probably opens up a can or two of other worms, but at least it would be a helpful alert that something weird happened. I definitely would be expecting an email if something like this happened, ESPECIALLY if it was a SW employee (or software) who rerouted me or had to adjust my trip on my behalf. We've been really fortunate with SW so far, so I haven't had to experience any changes quite like this to date. I would probably blindly think that if they rerouted me, they adjusted the whole itenerary accordingly to look out for my whole trip. Now, i will make a point to spend the time to go ask, if anything does happen.

If I pay bills with my credit cards, do those count as qualifying purchases/points towards receiving the bonuses and companion pass? Or do they have to be actual merchandise or travel purchases? I'm trying to determine, what exactly "qualifying" means. (I do know that cash advances and the like do NOT count.)
