Southwest Booking Time

[cthmom]

Does anyone know what time Southwest releases their new dates? I now it is June 15 and in the past it has been around 11:00 EST, but I don't know of that has changed. Anyone have any idea?

It's generally 10am CT, which would be 11am ET.

Not recently. That's the way it was for a couple of years, but the last few releases have come much earlier in the day.

Like 8 am or earlier? It's a workday for me, so I need a plan...need to book the time in the old calendar!

OK, so I went back to the threads from March and it looks like it was closer to 11:00 a.m. ET when they opened up the current schedule. However, they have not always been consistent. My approach is to start when I get up in the morning, try periodically and check this board to see if someone else reports that booking has opened. If nothing's going on by close to 11:00 a.m. ET, then I would start to check frequently starting then.

It wasn't, then it was, then it wasn't. Make sense?

Thanks - I will do just what you've suggested, Jestocost!

Ok, what do you guys think? I am going Nov 14-19th I booked the pin discount last week. The thing is that I do not have a definite person to go with me, my sister probably can but cannot commit yet. If you were in my situation would you book on the 15th and just buy your own ticket and wait it out to see and then buy the other ticket later?
