I know Southwest will open up past August 12 on February 8th, 2011. Does anyone know what time reservations will open up?
Thanks
On the bottom of home page of Southwest, click on travel tools under customer service.
The last several releases have happened much earlier than the 11:00 a.m. ET that SWA used to do. I have been able to buy tickets by 5:30 a.m. or 6:00 a.m. CT the last few times I have purchased on the release date.
I would strongly suggest checking as soon as you get up and the closer it gets to 11:00 a.m. ET the more frequently I would check.
I have only ever flown SW once before (we usually fly Airtran). This time though I am looking for other options for our flight at the end of August. Anyway, why is there such a high interest in the fares on release day? Are they usually cheaper? If I buy tickets now and they go down in price can I get a credit on my credit card?
Thanks!

I have seen the price jump up $25 $50 bucks in just an hour on opening day. I for sure have gotten then lowest rate with the early am opening day method.
