Another Southwest ?--do they tend to change your flight times?

[NLD]

Title says it all. I know other airlines are sometimes notorious for this--does SW do this too?

Thanks!

I have been flying SW since 2004, to Orlando, Ft Lauderdale, Midway, and LAX, and I have never had any of my flights changed once the schedule has been posted. I know its a pain sometimes waiting for them to post their schedules but to me its been well worth it.
USairways has gotten so expensive and Airtran changes their schedules frequently.
Of course there have been delays due to weather etc, but I have never had my flight times changed.

Because SW only releases their schedule a few months ahead of time, they are much less likely to chance flight times once posted.

Oh good news... I know I can't count on no changes 100%, but it's still good news! Thank you.

Yes, that is one good thing about Southwest not releasing flights until a few months before. I'm hoping ours won' change...we have a direct flight arriving at 1pm

I fly SWA 2 - 3 times a year. Never had a flight schedule change. Not even once.

We had them change their flight schedules once in the past 5 or so years we have flown with them. It was a December flight if I rember right. Otherwise we haven't had any changes from them.

That's one of the reasons I LOVE SWA, never a schedule change!! I got really tired of EVERY AirTran flight changing several times, that I vowed I would not fly them if I could avoid it at all. Factor in no charge for checked bags on SWA (and the fact that I am a self admitted over-packer, just ask my husband !) and I will choose them every time. In fact, just today I booked my flights for my third birthday trip with my friend for free dining !
