• Southwest fined $200,000 for not making enough DING! fare sale seats available on February 14 (even though those seats didn’t sell out, meaning consumers who saw the sale and wanted the seats could get them) and for failing to make advertised fares to Branson, Missouri available on January 30 (Southwest attributes to a one-time technical glitch).
