SW booking question

[Native NYer]

I'm planning our August 2010 Disney trip. When I booked on Sunday, the reservation agent told me that I could book flights starting on September 14. While I was considering JetBlue and Continental, I've found that Southwest is much cheaper.

When can I expect SW to release August prices? I don't want to wait too long and then the other airlines' prices will go up.

BTW, we're flying BWI to MCO.

Hi, SWA JUST opened today for travel thru March 12th. I think 6 months is the SOONEST and it could be LESS time before your travel time. You can check when they will open up more dates under SWA TRAVEL TOOLS. Joan
