Advice for purchase of Southwest plane tix? Buy now or wait?

Asked by kevbo (25672points) May 19th, 2010 from iPhone

I’m looking at Vegas flights (from ABQ) in Oct for 4. Currently, $109 is the cheapest, which is obviously a decent deal by any standard, but the last flight tickets I bought included $36 tickets. Multiply that difference by 4 and it’s significant. Should I buy now or wait until I’m 3 months out (say) in the event there’s a sweet special in the meantime? Will Southwest let me swap fares if a better deal comes along?
