Currently the cheapest fare being offered for my round-trip choice flights from Tampa to Midway March 13-16 is $368. This seems a little pricey. Any thoughts if Southwest will be having a sale soon?

Popular school vacation week and also close to Easter - my guess is no.

Unless you go on the early 6am flight down, your cost is actually more than $368.

You can book UA from ORD with a stop in Charlotte and connecting to USAirways codeshare. $237 roundtrip for your dates. Travel time will be significantly longer, of course.

If you don;t mind O'Hare, AA has a better fare and it's a non-stop both ways:
