Any Advance Warning When SW Changes Its Fare Release Date?

[PSUGuy]

This last SW air fare release came ahead of what had been announced previously in their Travel Tools site. My dates are scheduled for release on March 14. If SW bumps this date up, do they change the date in Travel Tools prior to this or do they just open the window without notice one morning? I check things pretty regularly but I don't want to get caught short.

Yes, there will be current notice of the next schedule extension under Travel Tools. There was one time, last year, when there were conflicting dates on southwest.com; Travel Tools had one date and the online schedule had another. So, you can always check both places on the site to confirm the date, as best possible.

Great question Bill! Knowing that SW can do whatever they want in reality, I plan to start checking their website the weekend before the 14th because I know that the actual release date can vary from what was originally announced. I'm gunning for those October dates too! Enjoy your trip!
