What times are flights released?

[tlenzendorf]

SW will finally be releasing the fares for October flights come Monday. Anybody know what time they release them? I have been watching flights for a long time thru Milwaukee, and it seems like the cheapest ones from MKE-MCO are the first few days and they don't drop. Thinking we may just stay up past midnight Sunday if that's when they drop them in.

SWA's fares have been going up very early lately. I've been able to book as early as 5:00 a.m. or 6:00 a.m. CT the last few release dates I have tried. They aren't terribly consistent, however.

My advice is to get up early and start checking right away, then check back regularly until you can book.

You will get responses to this post that the time is 10:00 a.m. CT, but while SWA did that consistently for awhile it has been about a year since they released flights that late in the morning.
