Southwest - August 11-19

[js]

Hi. Can anyone please let me know when Southwest is suppose to open up for August 11 and August 19?

I googled but cannot find an answer.

Also what times do the flights open?

Thank you so much!

WOW. Thank you so so much!! I did not find that on google and looked on Southwest on Monday.

Do you think it would be best is I booked my August 11 flights first on their own and then waited for August 19 to open? I guess that would be my best option. Do you agree?

Yes, book each of them separately instead of waiting. If you google "Southwest Travel Tools" it will pull up the latest booking window information.

It's hidden at the bottom of their site under "Flight Schedules" – not the most descriptive title for that page.

You should definitely be prepared to book your outbound, then wait for the next set of flights. Flights usually go up around 6 a.m. ET but they can be delayed sometimes.

I would also advise to be on a flight exactly at 12:00am midnight, which is a shame. However last trip I was sick so didn't book until I woke up in the morning at 2 of the three direct flights from Philadelphia to Orlando were booked.

Out of curiosity, a couple of days later I checked and all but 2 of 13 flights to Orlando were booked!!

Flights aren't released at midnight. They load them in around 6/7 a.m. ET on release day.

Thank you all so so much!

I went on JetBlue on my app and cant find that date either. I also googled. Is it showing on thr app or if you google? I can only see from years ago.

I'm waiting for Jet Blue and Southwest as well, but for dates a little later than yours. Not sure when to expect those.
