Any idea when Southwest will start selling beyond Nov 5?

[maiapapaya]

Flight prices have been pretty steep so far for the late fall so we are patiently waiting to see what SW has to offer. So far they are only booking up to Nov. 5. Our trip is Nov. 28 - Dec 5. Any idea when we might see this open up? (ie. how far out does SW book?) TIA!

Southwest will open up travel dates through January 7th on June 15th.

So SW changed it from June 10?

Just pulled this from the Southwest website: "On June 15, we will open our schedule for sale through January 7, 2011. This date is subject to change! Please check back frequently. "

Thanks for the info!

Whew! We fly home from WDW on 6/14 and I still need the second leg of airfare for our November trip. Hope this date hold true!

Just took a peek on Southwest's website and it is June 10th
We are going in Dec and I'm trying to wait patiently.

I know ... I found a pretty good fare (not the greatest, but nothing seems to be so far this year) and I just don't know what to do. I'm afraid if I wait I might miss out on the fare I found, but the temptation is there to see what SW has to offer. I'm so not good at making decisions!

Just a thought... you might NOT want to travel on Nov 28! That's going to be a super busy day with people returning home from Thanksgiving visits everywhere. I believe it's projected to be one of the busiest days of the year.

Besides the crowd issue that also means cheap fares are going to be non-existant... Just a thought.

We're heading to MCO on Friday after Thanksgiving (26th)

As of 5/21, the date for the next round of flights (November 16-January 7) is June 10:

Good advice! Since I orginally posted we've actually changed our arrival day and are flying out in the evening on the 27th. The fare was a lot cheaper (on Delta).

Ok, so now we are back to June 10 - not June 15.

Just checked SW now as I'm also waiting...this is what the website says:

We are currently accepting air reservations through November 5, 2010. On June 15, we will open our schedule for sale through January 7, 2011. This date is subject to change! Please check back frequently.

I have been checking back frequently in case it changes again. They opened the week following October 31, which was the prior time frame's end date.

I'm waiting for the round after that! We plan to use RR for flights from Orlando to Las Vegas in February. I don't expect those to open until mid-August, but will be watching.

I just looked again too and it says June 10 not June 15

 

[disneydreamgirl]

All I can say is I have been and will continue to check back there frequently...I've always been able to get the best price on the day the schedule opens and I surely do not want to miss it!!!
