SW will have flights up for up until Oct.30 as of April 8th....
This is a rumor but usually pans out...

If you go on their website it now says they will have dates past August 14th on April 14th..the wait is killing me. We are looking at flights at the end of August out of Manchester.

Keep going back to check those dates. I had the same thing and kept checking the site for better flight times. Same flights went down in price to $59 each way! I have a $250 credit with SW waiting for my next trip!

Just thought I would chime in here...As much as I love SW, I have already booked our October trip to WDW on Jet Blue. Jet Blue has their flight schedule released out to (I think) October 30 right now. I booked about two weeks ago and got $59 going down, $69 coming back - both non stop. Their prices are up a little now (just checked and same flights for our dates are currently $89 each way). With Jet Blue you do have a change/cancellation penalty of $100, but if you are certain of your dates, the pluses are you can use the Resort Airline Checkin service...and there are tv's in the backs of the seats onboard, oh, and one more tiny thing: the checkin area for Jet Blue is not as far along in the BUF airport as SW.
We tried Jet Blue for the first time in Oct 2008 simply because we could use the RACS service and really liked it. We flew down SW, then back on JB.
IMHO it is a PITA to drag luggage ourselves to the bus then through MCO to the baggage checkin for SW - did not miss that one bit

Remember that Jet blue has a baggage fee on top of the ticket price. Southwest includes your first bag with you ticket price. Make sure you factor this in aswell.

Actually SW includes your first 2 checks bags free. Bonus!

JetBlue does not charge for the first checked bag. From their website:
"Checked Baggage Requirements
Each customer is allowed to bring one checked bag free of charge. If you would like to check a second bag there is a $20 fee."
We don't need or use more than one checked bag per person, so this is a non-issue for us, but this is a good point. Thanks for the heads up.
