What's the best way to track SWA airfare sales?

[Mickeygolf]

I have a trip planned for next May and I'm not sure when the best time would be to check for flights on SWA. When I check the website now you can only look at flights about 4 months in advance. Is this what I should expect?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!!!

:D SWA only releases their schedule a few mopnths at a time. I suggest you go to their website and sign up for their email list and then join Rapid Rewards. This way you will find out as they release new dates. I wouldn't expect the May 2005 schedule to be out until Feb. 2005 at the earliest.:D

Last year on 12/11/03 they released new flights for 4/2-5/8
On 1/15, they released 5/9-6/11. However, as we all know, history is not always an indication of what whill happen this year. (the last to years they've released the mid Jan - mar schedule on 2/18 and 2/19, but here it is 2/22 and for this year it still hasn't been released. But it should give you some idea. Also, if you want to get flights right when it's released, I would check the SWA site everyday aroun 11AM EST beginning 1/10. If you think you're flying at times where it might be less busy, than you can just sign up for their e-mail notification. However, sometimes it's a day or tow after the schedule opens up that they finally notify you that it has opened up.
