Post all SW questions concerns, etc. here...

Wonder if the schedule is still loading or maybe I'm just that lucky... 'All' of the non-stops are showing the basic fare class as unavailable.

I have 26 Flights to choose from on my departure date and not a single one has basic fares

I'm getting errors when trying to go out to Disneyland for May. I'll try later.

Errors for LGB and SNA for me as well.

I'm thinking we'll suck it up and take a direct flight to LAX on Delta.

Still getting errors over here too

Boy, their system is certainly very, very messed up as it is still showing error messages

Well, at least they've managed to put up a banner confirming that they're having issues, instead of us just getting random errors:

Book a Flight is undergoing maintenance. We are experiencing flight booking issues due to a global vendor disruption. We are working with the vendor to restore this feature as soon as possible. All other site functions are working normally.
If your flight booking is urgent, please contact a Southwest® Representative at 1-800-I-FLY-SWA® (1-800-435-9792). There may be high call volumes so please wait to call if your trip is not within the next 72 hours.
Thank you for your patience.

I've got CPs for 2026 and with points for the rest of us, so it's SW all the way. Just have to wait for their darn system to wake back up.

FYI- got flights booked for 4/11. Not sure if all routes are back up and running or if it's sporadic...

We got our April flights this morning and OUCH. These prices are getting out of control. We ended up changing to go a day earlier (and will book that night with our DVC points), and we booked the way home with Jet Blue because it was slightly less expensive and at a better time. The only good thing about buying them now is I can hopefully forget how painful this process was by the time we go!

Helping a friend book for April. Flights are expensive but he found a few Basic fares. However, if the flight credit is 6 months from date of booking would there be not be a flight credit if he had to cancel in April (since April is eight months away). Sorry but this is so confusing!

Correct he would not have a flight credit as it would have expired if purchasing a basic fare.

Some people have mentioned that they would upgrade to the choice fare and then the credit would be good for 12 months.

I'm not sure if that 12 months starts when you bought the original ticket or when you upgraded it but you would at least have 4 months extra to book something.

Direct or nonstop? If a direct, I’d still consider SW if the price is roughly the same. Nonstop, I’d go for Delta.
