They generally show up o the site between 6 am and 6:20 but some have reported a later opening. Does anyone have suggestions on the best way to refresh the screen to see if the flights have been released? I was thinking to have a flight already chosen with the "flexible date" screen in review for August. Continue to refresh that screen and when August populates, click on the month I need to chose dates. Has anyone tried this approach?
I have to get 7 tickets for us, all flying out of PIT. I have to wait until the next release for our flights but if I think it is a good rate (a rate that I'm comfortable paying) on the day they come out, I will book them.
Any tips for a first-time Southwest booker? Going to be on there at 6am trying to get 2 cheap tickets for our trip. Nervous about picking them out and them selling out before I get checked out. Once I'm in checkout, filling out passenger info, Payment, can I lose them before I hit purchase? Or are they "held" at that point?
I noticed that too. I was hoping the costs would be a little bit lower. I was online between 6-6:30am today checking out the prices.September flights are really expensive! I guess I'm going to stalk the southwest site until they go down
Yeah, my flights down in September were limited and not as cheap as others are reporting at different times and locations. Mine were just under $200 each down, and $150 each back in October. Still better than other carriers but I was shocked at just having three flights to choose from on the way down. That's like half of the flights offered in February-July!September flights are really expensive! I guess I'm going to stalk the southwest site until they go down
I noticed that too. Not as many non-stop flights from what I've seen for May and June when I started looking from Nov-Jan. I don't know the whole airline system, but maybe they add flights after the original ones release book-up?Yeah, my flights down in September were limited and not as cheap as others are reporting at different times and locations.

We're flying on Labor Day and so far southwest has no early flights to book.
Is this normal to have less flights available on a holiday?
I'm beginning to think we should have flown in on Sunday...
