Only if you want to. Nuts, nope, good business yes. Keep the fares reasonable, keep to the schedule that you post, don't change times, aircraft, etc. IMHO, it is worth the wait. Just think, you could have all sorts of angst having booked with another airline that changed your flights, changed your seats, etc.
Which would you prefer?

Yes, gotta love SWA.

So I'll lose a little sleep.

Or do you think they will wait until the morning???

Hopefully soon. Just got an e-mail regarding Airtran. They just posted some sales. There calling it: AirTran System-wide sale.

On that, I would not even hazzard a guess. They are petty inconsistant about announcing their internet fares on Tues.
Could be anytime from 12:01 am to 8:00 am.
All I can say is good luck and Ihope your dates and great fares come out today.

No news yet, but if they do come out today the fares should be pretty good, according to the link above.

If you were traveling Mid-Aug through Sept, the fares are fabulous! $49 from Orlando to BDL!!!!

I really think it's going to be about 10 am.

Did you see the specials they are running !! To fly RT from Bradley in Sept cost $49 each way. I would be so psyched if I could get it that cheap!!!

I'd take $74 in a heartbeat!!

 

[3DisneyNUTS]

I know I am getting all nervous LOL. This will be the cheapest I have flown in a long time. I think the CHEAPEST was $59 each way. You gotta love SWA!

I sure hope that happens for you, I just rebooked my Sept. trip at 49.00 each way, for the 5 of us it was a savings of 300.00.
Now, if the future dates would come out for you all, I would be thrilled!!!!!!!!!!!

That's awesome Gail! How did you rebook? Did you have to call? I've heard people say that you can obtain a form at the ticket counter to request a refund of the difference (instead of using it for future travel). Have you ever done that?

Woo HOO - I'm so excited for you!

The SWA server is going to be so jammed when they finally open up! They should have released it at 3 am - it would have spread out the madness!
