Looking to book when they open up their next block on 8/27/12. Does anyone know what time of day they have been opening them up for sale recently? TIA

Early. In recent memory tickets generally have gone on sale somewhere around 5 a.m. or 6 a.m. CT.

I would agree, this has been the case the last two times we booked with Southwest.
 
Thanks everyone! That's around what it was last year. Wanted to make sure nothing had changed. Fingers crossed for good rates!
 

I was just wondering the same thing and was trying to decide if I should stay up late or get up early!
 
Not to hijack the thread but will airtran flights open up as well? Usually AT has better flight times and more nonstops than SW out of MKE. Just trying to get the most time in Orlando & best deal for Spring Break.:)

AirTran is open now.

I think I'm just going to get up early. Have never heard of them going on sale at midnight. Fingers crossed......
 
they opened after 6! got my departing flights now to wait until Oct to book the return, or we could just stay!
 
got my departing flights too! 135.00 out of BDL!! Now to wait for the return....when will that be??

Oct 15 they open for the rest of April. I got the same price same day.
Are you going to the local Give Kids the World Dismeet in Sept?
 
I just checked again, prices for our flights are now $188, so glad to have gotten a good (bordering great) price and have it behind me! SO excited I can barely do other things today!
 
We are driving home on 95 after spending 12 days at WDW. I just booked our spring break trip. Got $143 out of PHL . DH is making fun of me since we aren't even home yet from our recent trip. But we won't be on 95 in April!! :thumbsup2

We too are flying out of Philly! I just booked ours this a.m and got roundtrip $350.06 per person....is the $143 you mention the web-only wanna getaway fare for out the outbound flight only, or were you lucky enough to get $143 roundtrip??
 
I totally forgot until about 1:00 pm and managed to get $145 for our outbound flights from Providence. Were they lower first thing this morning?

We only booked to MCO. I definitely wanted nonstop on Good Friday. We are more flexible on the way home. And since last weeks trip is on our current cc, it would be nice to have the return in the next cc.
 
I forgot to check until 8:30am, how quickly do they adjust their fare I wonder...:confused3
