What's up with Southwest?

[sean-1966]

We travel in less than 3 months and they are still not taking reservations. Is this normal? We've booked our trip down but can't book our return flight. What's the deal???

 

[disyady]

Yes, it's normal. SWA keeps their fares low by not opening booking too far in advance which reduces costly changes and cancellations. They'll open up soon and will probably go up to early/mid Aug. Hang in there.

I know! I'm waiting on this too. I'm leaving May 20th and they're only booking until May 10th!

I called them and they don't know when they'll be opening up either.

I'd like to see what the Phoenix flights are like in August.....however, kids and dh are thinking more Maritimes for summer vacation, not the desert....heeheehee. S

I'm waiting too!!!

I haven't booked anything yet, but am hoping for a deal for the May 24th weekend

I'm starting to get Disney Withdrawal symptoms ... you know, Disney on the brain and no trip in site

See the attached link and Question #17(release dates for blocks of seats). This site seems to explain a lot of questions regarding southwest.
