Any idea on when SW will release their next round of flights?

Rumor has it JB will today and I'm trying to decide if I want to pull the trigger with JB if the price is right or wait and see what SW has to offer...

Thanks. And even that won't get me the June dates I want. UGH. I wish JB and SW would release at the same time. Oh well

I know, it can be so frustrating waiting for those darn schedules to come out (especially for an obsessive planner like myself!). Hopefully JB will have a good deal and you won't even think twice about SW

Agree with previous poster. If Jet Blue has decent pricing, book. We waited for SW to open March and the rates were so high that we didn't book. They still haven't changed so we are also looking at Jet Blue.

Well, JB is out and I don't like the fares nor the times. There is no longer and early AM non stop flight out Richmond to Orlando that gets us there around 10 AM. Only option is a 3:00 PM flight. No thanks. Guess I'll wait for SW and see what my options are there.

I have inquired on FB about this change. Not happy about it at all. Really bummed.

Thanks for this, we leave on 4/6 and return 4/10 but when I went to Southwest's website they only have it out until 4/6 so I can only look at rates going, not coming back. I guess I'll have to wait until the end of October to see if I will be flying them or not.

Just an FYI for future searches - I can never find the release dates on their site directly, but if you google "southwest travel tools" it should bring you right there.

Any idea what TIME flights gets posed on the website once SW releases them? I'm scheduled to work on 10/27 so I just want to be prepared if I can get up early and do it before I leave...

Frustrating!!!

We go the week before and want to come home on April 7. I can buy the one way ticket now for a good price on Sun Country...but hoping for SW to have decent prices to come back... if they don't, if we buy with SC we will need to eat the cost of whatever the return fligth is.

Hate this form of gambling, lol

I too am curious as to what time they get posted on the site...last year I was up at 12:01am EST and nothing was posted until around 8a, EST....this year they go on sale and by 8 all the Wanna Get Away fares were gone....frustrating

Southwest usually releases their schedule sometime between 6am and 6:30am eastern time. When I book on the release day I am online at 6am and just keep refreshing their booking page every minute or two until the new dates appear.

Slightly off topic, but where the heck did the "travel tools" link disappear to on the Southwest site? They changed their website and I cannot find it anywhere! Thanks! I apologize if I am just being a ditz about this

You are not being a ditz. It was the first thing I noticed when I checked out their new website. There is no longer a link at the bottom of the page to the Travel Tools page.

For now the only way I've found to get there is to do a google search for "southwest.com travel tools". Here is the link to the Travel Tools page: http://www.southwest.com/html/travel-tools/index.html

Thank you! That is super annoying that the link is gone!
