I'm getting tired of seeing this guy:

 

[challada]

Really, the LightGuy has become my new computer buddy....we see eachother all the time, talk about the kids, etc, etc...

I wish upon a star that it's today

As a private pilot, I love those light guys myself. I love the stop signal he's giving above when he's telling me to "Stop here - I'll get a gas truck over to your plane so you can continue on your way"

In the context of "Stop - don't you dare try to book after June 9", I'm a little miffed with him.

Here's hoping, too, that today is that magical day.

I'm still refreshing with no luck. Let's keep our fingers crossed that today is the day!

Well, Bubba's Mom's day of the week/time combo has passed with Mr. Lightsticks still holding us short of June 10.

Now I'm just hoping Bubba's Mom's calendar date (2-17) will be the day Mr. Lightsticks waves us through.

I am confused. What screen is the lightsticks man on on SW and why is my screen showing flying thru june 30th? I feel like i'm on a different website than what i'm reading here!

edited: ok ok, now i see lightsticks when i put those dates in that i thought would work!!!

 

[KristinU]

Just got a Ding that ends at 3:45 CST today.....I just don't recall seeing one before that ends at a time other than on the hour or on the half hour.
Perhaps the new schedule will be released at the end of that sale....4PM CST???
Or perhaps I've just resorted to imagining scenarios "that must mean" the schedule is about to open! LOL!
What do ya'll think?

I'm still holding out hope for this theory...just an hour left to find out!

 

[samano]

C'mon Southwest.....this waiting is making me nuts!!!

 

[bubba's mom]

Now I'm just hoping Bubba's Mom's calendar date (2-17) will be the day Mr. Lightsticks waves us through.

*sigh* ....me too The girl who works next to me at work says I'm driving her nuts with constantly checking....and she isn't even going anywhere!! Gotta pray for tomorrow......

we are going down late august with my sister. her and her family will be flying sw from long island, ny. I see that they are only going up to june, like everyone is saying. My question is do they change there website daily, tomorrow you can book unitl the 10th and so forth??Or do they open a block of dates up? When do you think I can expect late august to go on sale? Thanks

I had to be away from my desk today and I made the girl I share a workspace with keep refreshing with a promise to call me if any changes came up. Luckily she's a Disney fan and loves to travel so she totally understood where I was coming from.

Good night my fellow waiters...I hope tomorrow is our day!!! Pixie dust and sweet dreams!

 

[jimmiej]

It'll be Friday. I don't see it going any farther. Friday will be 112 days. They won't go any lower. (OK, let's cross our fingers just to make sure. )

 

[bubba's mom]

Well, for the first time in a few years, this just may be up to DH to take care on Friday! Have my fingers, toes, eyes and everything else crossed hoping tomorrow is the day! Well, if nothing else, it's been "interesting" waiting with y'all......here's to tomorrow.....

 

[boomhauer]

Well, I'll give Southwest until noon today. If the fares aren't out, I'm flying with Jet Blue. I like Southwest and their fares can't be beat, but Jet Blue's got some decent fares right now, and I'm not about to lose out on those by waiting any longer.

Is this RT or one way fares?
