When will SW release rates for next year?

[MinnieMom]

We are hoping to plan a trip to Disney for late March next year, but airfare is ridiculously high! We are only traveling from Philly and with two young kids I need a direct flight.

I've never had a problem booking this before, but I can't find any direct flights less than $400 for the time I'm looking at. I've never paid more than $200 before. I know the cost of fuel is increasing prices, but doubling them?!?!

I've always heard SW is so much less and even though I prefer to go on US Air, I'm willing to give them a try if it's going to save me $$. Anyone know when they will release the flights for next March? Any ideas what you think the rates will be? Thanks for any input!

Hi, I read on this board that SWA should release dates into February(I am waiting for2/ 15-25)this week(didn't happen) or next week. So I think it would be another MONTH after that for March?? All I know is that I check around 6x each day (the SWA site )when I feel the time is getting close! I am also checking DING for my Dec. flight. I have booked my return because it is the 22nd of Dec.and I wanted to fly home in the morning but not my flight down(Dec.17,that schedule is wide open). And I felt $135.was a good enough price for that close to Christmas! Good Luck! Joan

Best guess is next Thursday the 21st. SWA usally release them around 8am PDT, so keep checking that morning.
