Well the money issue is key, but that said, thats' rediculous for you to fly for that much. And to some I know that seems like a good deal, and in "Some" regards, it is, but considering you said you got that from Southwest, its' rediculous, considering they themselves are the least costly airline to fly and offer spectacular deals for cross country travel. I mean my god Moger, when I flew from Oakland Ca to Pittsburgh PA last year, That cost me less than a $120 bucks, because I got a great one day price for like 89, 99 bucks, which Southwest Routinely offers. Now it depends when you want to fly. Typically and as is usually the case, the more time between booking and departure, the better the price, but not always. Anyway, you do it online, and you'll find a great deal. I looked and they have some 99 one way tickets from LAX to DEN. So do yourself a favor and just take the time to look:p. Save yourself 50 60+ dollars.
