i can't find those at all. let alone im needing to leave in June. any help would be appreciated..
As mentioned, these sales can be hit-or-miss. For example, I too have a return flight scheduled later this summer that is currently "stuck" in the 3-figure territory despite re-checking through the last several sales.
I would still book the flight in question at the standard price to lock in the fare as Southwest doesn't charge any fees for changes. That way, if prices go up, you'll have the lower fair locked in and ready to go. But keep coming back and re-check/re-price the booking in case fares come down later or through a different sale; you'll be able to then collect the difference in fare in the form of a flight credit (or refund too if you bought Anytime or Business Select).
Through the last "as low as $49 sale", I did a price check of this flight and through that sale, I was able to shave off several bucks from this trip and get a flight credit of $29-off from the originally booked fare. Current fare paid is still way out there in 3-digit land but I can now use that credit toward a future flight.
I would book if you haven't done so yet, but keep re-checking, maybe every Tuesday (when sales typically start) and every Friday (when sales typically expire). Should the price drop, rebook and collect the credit.
Hope this helps.
