When will Southwest Open?

[mhmcduff]

Who knows the time? I checked at 6am no luck? Waiting

Waiting too!! It says booking dates are open until Jan 6th but when I put my dates in it comes up with an error message.

 

[disnutt]

I keep getting the same message. I could see the dates/times and then it wouldn't let me book.

 

[cinderella'smommy]

Me too. waiting waiting waiting . . .

Been at it since 6:15 AM, just took a shower break and nothing.

 

[winniedapooh]

Just got in!!!

 

[mhmcduff]

I did the same thing and back from the shower and no luck- My kids will be up soon then we have to get off to school and work-- Please Southwest just flip that switch or push the button what ever it is so I can go to work with my Christmas trip booked!!!

 

[mickeymom1]

Got it! They must have heard us and fixed the site My tickets were not as cheap as I had hoped, but at least now I have them and hopefully the prices will go down!

 

[winniedapooh]

UGH...went to try a different airport as the cheapest I could get out of PVD was 172 and now I can't get back in!!!

 

[encinc]

Keep trying. It's really spotty. I couldn't get in, then I did, then I changed airports and couldn't get in again. Tried again right away and got in. Didn't like the fares, so I booked on Jetblue. Turned out cheaper with JB even though I have a credit with SW.

Good luck to everyone!

Just booked our departing trip. Hopefully the return trip will come down a little before booking

 

[winniedapooh]

Encinc...same thing for me. I am right now booking with JB. Much cheaper!!!

 

[disnutt]

Gee, that was the hardest thing I've had to do to book a flight. The prices were OK but we didn't allow for the fact that there wouldn't be a morning flight out of PIT on the Friday after Thanksgiving.

DH reluctantly agreed to take the late afternoon flight out on Thanksgiving so we get to start our vacation a little early. Now to find an acceptable hotel for the night before our REAL vacation begins.

 

[mhmcduff]

can not book - wont let me in ! yikes

 

[DisneyFreak43]

So glad we booked w/ Jetblue the day they came out - SW is almost $200 more!

 

[jerryn2368]

A lot higher than I thought.
We booked JB going down, SW coming back.
$365 round trip. Uhg!

I've booked 6 flights this morning. First confirmation came in at 6:29am and the last one at 7:03. Southwest.com went stupid for a few minutes, but then was working again so I could do the rest. Ahhh...now I can stop fretting about getting flights just before Christmas!

 

[DisMomAmy]

Southwest went stupid on me a few times too... it couldn't decide if the dates were open yet or not! But I got our November flights book... it wasn't pretty though! $400 per person! I had shopped around and wasn't finding anything better...

I'm hoping the fares go down & I can get some credits for our April trip.

I'm just happy it's done.

Fares were higher than I thought they would be. . .Gonna keep checking around . . .It's hard to just plan a get up and go when including the kids for the next trip as DS will be going to college in the fall and I have to go by his schedule . . .I also couldn't get past the glitch for a few minutes . . .it kept saying the schedule was open through January, when it really wasn't? Would really love to go for Thanksgiving though . . .

 

[Karlzmom]

39 minutes on hold and counting....trying to use the old RR vouchers...UGH!!!
All I can think is that I hope there are stil seats available.
