I think Southwest does use the cookie in an algorithm to guage demand. Understood this is a high demand time, but seems a bit malicious, no underhanded. We always pay to get the Early Bird so we pay more now anyway. Even with that, have been in B boarding a few times. Ok, thanks. I ended up buying with the higher price. Like I said, the outbound trip was still the same and always the one way was available, while the 1 stops were all booked up. Don't understand that, except that many people were probably boarding from Raleigh, etc. Our flight is from Baltimore.

Ok, what is the deal with pricing? I check one day and a return flight is $182. I check the next day and it's $299. Then about 2 hours later it is $320. Obviously you are using an algorithm to generate highest possible price based on demand. But this is ridiculous! I can tell it adjusts prices based on my searches as well. In the morning I check the flight and it's $229, then I put in my Rapid Rewards number, and it recalculates and the price is $299! This is for Thanksgiving, at least 5 months away. And you are playing with the price already. Keep the price the same for a period of time. Don't let greed get in the way of customer satisfaction. Oh, and the price for the outbound flight has stayed the same. It's the return flight where you do the gouging. Thanks but no thanks for Thanksgiving.
