Post all SW questions concerns, etc. here...

Is it just me or do these releases appear to be happening later in the morning than they did in the past? @SouthFayetteFan, do you track stats like that? You're our go-to around here for great SW stats and info!!

I think the schedule release process has changed with this new computer system and I am also seeing a pattern of later releases although I haven’t been tracking the exact time EXCEPT for the last release which occurred at 9:20.

Still stalking SW site looking to book for Marathon weekend.

Man - if I didn't love Southwest so much, I'd be frustrated right now, lol.

Somehow I'm still sitting here excited to see what flight times look like for our trip like a kid waiting at the top of the stairs on Christmas morning... Yup, I'm weird!

We are also going end of January. It felt very strange to book my dining reservations before my flights LOL! I’m used to waiting to book the hotel for the discounts.

Same! I’ve never booked dining before flights. Impatiently waiting this morning ... I’m hoping for a really late flight home on our departure day so we can have time in the morning to pack up, go to a later breakfast ADR and still have a good chunk of time to do a few FP and enjoy the parks before DME picks up. Fingers crossed.

Ok... now I'm getting loopy. I've started talking to the screen while it refreshes...

"Give Daddy what he wants...c'mon..."​

​

Hopefully my wife doesn't come down, she might get worried about my relationship with Southwest...

"It's Jake from Southwest"​

"She sounds hideous..."​

I have no patience. I just booked a back up flight on another airline. Preferred time and non-stop (BOS to MCO) just not preferred airport and the price $346 per ticket was too good to pass up. I have until tomorrow at midnight to cancel. Since our travel time is winter break for NH schools this feels like a good decision. Still hoping for nonstop MHT to MCO. OK now back to refreshing Southwest website and app.

I’m debating the same

10:00 eastern and still no schedule. Wow.

 

[georgina]

I'm giving them 15 more minutes then I have to go out. I will be looking to book on mobile I guess.

@scrappinginontario - I think we are entering rare air here. I believe I only recall once that this lingered beyond 11am - there was a strange botched release 2-3 years ago that actually went into the afternoon and came out in pieces.

 

[NOLA_Tink]

Last time, they released flights there was also a glitch and flights were only available via the low-fare calendar for the first 10 minutes. (I had to book for that cycle for our Thanksgiving trip and now I'm finding myself in the same anxious state to get great marathon weekend flights, lol.)

 

[SouthFayetteFan]

Things are moving...

I'd expect to see flights VERY soon!

When it finally opens try PVD to MCO on SW to save major $$. We've been priced out of MHT to MCO for school vacation week starting maybe 3 years ago.

 

[Iowamomof4]

It has begun! They are starting to roll out dates now!

 

[mcd2745]

I'm seeing sporadic fares listed now in the low fare calendar for the rest of January. Nothing beyond that yet, and it's not every day in Jan. but a positive sign.

I will. That's a two hour drive for us. We used to fly Norwegian Air to Dublin from there. I love that airport because is so compact but it would have to be a huge money saver for us!

 

[scrappinginontario]

It's starting!!!

Low fare calendar starting to be populated for January (Buffalo - Orlando routes)

 

[NOLA_Tink]

They're open via low fare calendar right now!

It was enough savings for us to give up the Nashua to MHT commute, but we were purchasing for 5.

The 5 tickets does make a huge difference for decision making. We are two tickets so our calculations are a little different. But the Nashua MHT commute is a thing of beauty when it all works out!
