(Hat tip to my friend Panu for the heads up)
Good afternoon everyone, I hope you are having a great day so far. If you are a Southwest Airlines traveler, today is your lucky day. Southwest Airlines just released their flight schedule and you can now book flights through Sunday, January 7, 2018. Previously, their flight schedule was only bookable through early November. Book your Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, and all other flights now. As a reminder, always check your existing Southwest Airlines flights to see if the prices go down, then rebook the exact same flights and get the difference back in Southwest Airlines travel credit or Southwest Airlines Rapid Reward Points deposited back into your account (read PSA: Check Existing Southwest Airlines Flights for Price Drops, then Rebook).
If you want to book Southwest Airlines flights after January 7, 2018, you will need to wait for the next Southwest Airlines schedule release which will happen on June 22, 2017. After that date, you will be able to book Southwest Airlines flights through Wednesday, March 7, 2018.
If you have any questions, please leave a comment below. Have a great day everyone!
I found that they increased prices a lot. For example, I booked LGA to DAL for Jan 2 last year on the first day when schedule opened up, one way wanna get away was at $69. Today it’s at $169+ for Jan 2nd 2018. To many carribean and mexico destination, even no wanna get away fares at all on Dec 23rd. Really? Southwest? Very disappointed.
Keep checking back and rebooking if the price goes down. Hopefully you get a good deal on your flights.
