When do airline tickets become available?

[MaryKatesMom]

I need a round trip ticket on USair for Nov 2005. When can I start looking for them? Nov 1st at 12:01 AM or Nov 18th the day I need to fly?

How far in advance do they open seats?

Usair posts their flights about 360 days out, so if you are flying out on 11/18/05 you should start looking just a few days after that this year......however, USair is having alot of financial diffuculties, you may want to wait to see if they are going to declare bankruptcy again, if they do, they may not be flying next year.

I called them just now to inquire and as of today Sept 8th they are booking up to Aug 5 adding one day at a time. I thought it was 360, 365 or 366 myself. I'll have to keep calling.

I don't want to make anyone worry.....but it's not certain that US Airways will still be flying in the future. They are having serious money problems. They may have to go back into bankruptcy. If you have other choices I would check them out.

I think it's 331 days, just short of 11 months. I too would be hesitant to book USAir for that far away.

I second the 331 (actually I think it's 330, but what the hey!) days out comment. We couldn't start looking at our Christmas 2004 flight planes until February of this year.
