SWA Calendar will open, up until April 5th!
I just got off the phone with them and they are putting the information into the computers. I asked if many flights were cut and she said 1.3% were cut! So for everyone who has been waiting-they will be out tomorrow!!!

uh oh, if true that means I have to decide on which cruise date in January now. I was enjoying the excuse of not being able to book my flight. Ah, bitter sweet :D

Oh boy! & Drats at the same time. Yes, I need 1/16 & 1/27/2002. I also need 4/16 & 4/19/2002. I'll tune in first thing tomorrow.

Oooh, I also need 4/13-4/21. Darn, oh well, it keeps the suspense going a while longer. Good luck to everyone whose dates will be up tomorrow.

I also fired up the 'puter this AM to book some flights. As you all found out......nothing. Still only to 1/11/2002. Serves me right. I've heard in the past that changes are made on Tuesdays, early in the AM. That's when all the e-mails come from Southwest about sales. Maybe Tuesday the 23rd.

They are there now! I believe there are still some problems with the month of February but the rest looks good!

I just went to southwest web site and mine still says until Jan. Are you sure?

I am sure- but I think they are having problems with it because all of February PHX to MCO is only offering full price. So, i called SW and as I was asking her about the prices, the computers all went down, I think they are working on some problems. She also said that the Feb prices didn't sound right to her!

Thanks for the info. Just checked for the 3rd time today and there they are. Now lets hope for a sale. The prices seem high.

:( Still saying only to 1/11/02.:(

Wow update: 1:08 PM, now they are up. Sure are expensive though. I'm going to wait. We have a $610 credit w/SW now, but they want $834 at this time.

What is wrong with me? When I check the southwest.com web site it still only goes thru January. It is 2:15EST. Are you accessing a different web site? Thanks for the help

here is the link:

maybe you need to clear your cache or history files, but it is up.

thanks, I needed to enter iflyswa.com for the dates to come up. A lot of the flights in March are already unavailable from Providence and the prices aren't the kind you snatch up. I guess compared to Delta, people just want to make sure they have something under 300.00. If you buy a ticket and the prices go down, like for a special sale, do you get a credit for the difference?

OK, now does anyone know if there is a set time they will extend the schedule further? Will it be Nov 18, or could they do it any time?

I personally would think sometime in January.

azlaura
10-18-2001, 02:29 PM
I was freaked out by the prices available too, so I called SW again and the person I spoke with told me that they just made an announcement and that the different prices for the different flight were not all in the system yet, so they are showing up unavailable. She was told the problem should be fixed in an hour or so.... we'll see! :)

I'm still checking. They have not budged up here in Albany yet. There is a bunch of lower tickets ($89)still listed as "unavailible". Lowest avail is $102.

I checked and called daily all last fall waiting to book tickets for April break 2001. They were finally released on Dec. 12th. Hope this helps :jester:

telephone calls (I'm impatient, I realize) that for my June dates, I'd have to wait til about mid-January. If they are the same prices as what is available now thru April, I will be waiting for nothing. $102 or $111 each way is NO bargain!

Yikes!! I'm looking at a price of $193 ONE WAY from Manchester, NH to MCO!! Total would be $398 per person! I've never seen an airfare to Orlando on Southwest that high before.... I really hope they come down or the 5 of us will be driving down in February :(
