pricing methods

What pricing methods are utilized at Southwest Airlines?

No company is going to share pricing strategies,  business plans, or any proprietary information with someone outside the company.

@nkaiser Instead of 5 different, very vague posts, I would suggest you gather all your thoughts and requests into one clear and concise message and contact Southwest directly.  Good luck with the school paper?

In my experience, they release WGA fares at a midpoint.  Those that don't fill up get reduced, either through a sale or silently.  As they fill up, they go up in price in increments, every 10 or 15 seats or something.   They show you when only 5 seats are left at a given price point.   

Given the tendency of people to cancel lately, fares have been dropping regularly.   The ability to rebook at the lower fare is one of the many reasons I only fly SWA.

Anytime fares and Business Select seem to stay more constant,  usually much higher than the WGA fare.
