Wanted to add to what FTLW posted below. Even though most calls will come in under the 847 area code, I have seen others post in the past that they got calls from other Chicago area codes (I'm thinking from a staff member's cell). Rare, but it happenes. So we recommend that you answer all phone calls when your have someone at bootcamp....just in case!
A mom in a different PIR group had already purchased round trip tickets from Southwest and with this new special she was able to change her tickets to less expensive ones and got a $100.00 credit to use on a flight in the future so be sure and check them out even if you already have tickets with them.
You know Crazy Blonde, that might not be a bad idea, after all they run specials all the time. There is a PIR almost every week of the year so they could make a fortune, especially if they offered it to other branch families going to boot camp graduations.
Sometime the area code can be different than 847 so it is best to always answer the calls. And try not to worry if you do see that area code this soon it could be an official call with them asking for security info.
Added a link to the Meet & Greets under the Weather Widget.
well still no letter today. i was sure i would get one today. I wish i knew what he is up too and what day he is on.
addy
LOL! I'm so glad we are all here to help each other! I wonder if we contact Southwest if they might put something together for us???
Well that just is not fair lol. I just saw the commercial on TV, didn't know the "fine print" Keep checking their site they may run some other specials soon. It seems they always have some kind of special going on. I guess you could fly up there on Wednesday for the very special price and then pay a higher price to come back. It could still be cheaper than other airlines. Especially with no checked bag fee and no change fee.
Lala such a great deal on Southwest, but the conditions say the offer is only valid if you travel on Tuesdays or Wednesdays, just wanted to make sure we all knew about the travel days it's valid.
Southwest.com has a special now offering flights all over the country for $69.00 one way. Just buy one there and buy one back. If you haven't bought your tickets yet this is a great deal so check it out
