What's the Earliest SouthWest Would Open the New Dates Window?

[marthachick]

Good Morning! I'm here! Pixie dust for all!

It was open....Then closed again.

 

[PatMcDuck]

Do you have to keep refreshing? Or just keep checking the date section?

I keep refreshing - I also check this DIS page as well in case I miss it... I'll know to try something different on SW

Waiting here too

I just booked. Oct 8-23 from EWR. I hate that the non stop down is either super early or late afternoon. We took the 2pm ish down for almost 9k points and the 1pm ish back at over 10k ish. Yikes. Thank goodness for the companion pass.

All done -- nice and easy! Very happy with the flight times and the fares!

 

[ktate82]

Our fares are still on the expensive side. Looks like we are going to be driving unless they have a sale.

I ended up with $269.96 per person, round trip from BDL. Glad that is over with!!!

I didn't note the exact time (I was too busy booking!) but the schedule was released at approximately 6:15am eastern time. Just want to note it for the record.

Happy with my flights from Portland, ME to Orlando, FL. Still a little pricey....I paid with points - 19454 for round trip Aug. 19-27! Dollar amount would have been $344 round trip - which is about $100 less than what everyone else is offering it for! JetBlue was almost $600 for those dates.

Flying from PHL in August. Not super happy with the times of the non stop flights but we got round trip for 14K points each. Happy about that.

Yes! Jet Blue would have been over $500 pp r/t for us!

 

[marthachick]

We're headed to Denver. Not crazy about return flight times so I might be adjusting. Hope you all got what you were wanting!

 

[LaurenT]

Not bad - just have a connection coming home, but had enough points to cover two, paid for the third .... So, three of us round trip from Albany for under $300!

Same here. I'm almost relieved. We keep talking about driving, but the price of the flight coming home pretty much sealed the deal for us.

Yes, we were waiting till these came out to make the "final" decision. It's just so much cheaper to drive, but we were hoping flights would be cheaper. DH is not thrilled with the thought of the drive, but he is happy about the money saved.

DH and I booked 8 people PHL to MCO 10/8-10/15 as soon as schedule opened. Four cash and four with points. I booked phantom fights last night for all so we only had to do a change of flight this morning saving a lot of time to entering information. $244 RT.

 

[Tass]

Did anyone get a nonstop flight PHL to MCO for less than $122 in October/November? I logged on at 6:15 am and that's the best I saw - just wondered if I missed the good fares? I ended up booking BWI to MCO for $83 each way.

Booked from PHL, did not check EWR, they are usually more but this time EWR slightly less. Return time a little better to PHL so I will keep it as is. Lots of early and late nonstops now. (which is great when it is just me, but not great with the family). Very cheap flights toad from Wash DC for my husband, $72. PHL was $122, which is not that great, but I will keep an eye out for lower fare.

(Tass no, that was the cheapest I saw, 10-26 to 11-01)
