Southwest Booking

[Barbi]

Does anyone know when Southwest will advance their reservation dates.
I need flights on 2/2 returning 2/5. My son's High school band will be marching down Main Street on February 3rd.
Anyway the dates only go to the 3rd.

Thanks!

the standard answer is "we have no idea"
frustrating~!

Haha... That's what I was afraid of. Thanks Stephanie. The fare right now is $49 each way. I'd like to book it before it changes or the flights I want become unavailable. Oh well, the waiting game begins.......

If the flights down are available at a good price, you might want to go ahead and book them. With SW, there's no reason you have to book both flights at the same time.

I usually try to book one way flights with SWA, reason being I can change either direction and get better rates. I just did it yesterday, the outbound flight was cheaper than I had, but the inbound flight ,for my times, were unavailable. So I rebooked the outbound and saved $60.00.

If I had a round trip ,I would not have been able to do this.

If I were you, and you are sure you are using SWA, I would book the flight you can now, and wait for your return flight.

What a great idea, I never thought to do that! The entire band and chaperones will be leaving on a chartered a flight with SWA @ 6 AM. So I'd like to get the 7:30 AM flight right after them. That way I should be able meet up with them at Epcot before noon.
Thank you both, I love these boards!
