I checked at 8am EST and it was open already.

 

[T.G.I.Friday]

It still isn’t open in the app or website for me.

ETA - it opened around 8:45 for me. But geez - with these prices, I was happier waiting!

It opened just after 7:30

Booked a 6:05 AM flight out of Hartford pretty close to when it opened. It was $164 for Wanna Get Away, now it's $199. Compared to flights I've booked recently with SW, I was happy with the pricing. Unfortunately, there were only 2 nonstop flights one at 6:05 AM and one at 6:30 PM. Not great.

I should add this was for an April 7th flight.

On September 14, 2023, our schedule will open for sale through June 03, 2024. (Date is subject to change).

I got an email from Southwest that my flight next month has changed due to a schedule disruption, but all the details look identical... has this happened to anyone?

 

[EACarlson]

Could be a flight number change or an aircraft swap.

Flight number is the same, maybe it's the plane

I had a flight that was changed by 10 minutes. Everything stayed the same. It did make it so I couldn’t make a change to get a refund on points. Had to call and they rebooked and got the refund.

Bought tickets for the Saturday before Easter weekend and prices were scary. Flight home on Thursday night was pretty much what I usually pay. But flight down on that Saturday was $254 which is almost $100 more. I was late because I got busy at work and didn’t purchase until 8:30am. Luckily I had flight credits I could use but it was still painful. Flights down to MCO now are mostly over $300 for that Friday Saturday and Sunday weekend before Easter as of Saturday evening. Going to be a busy week but the princess wants to return to her castle for spring break lol

We are flying Indy to Fort Lauderdale the day before Easter for a cruise on the Disney Dream (arriving the day before it sails) and I've never paid that much for a flight on Southwest. I knew it was Spring Break but wow.

Mine was from Columbus so similar flights I’m sure. I expected them to be high but this stung

We checked last night for our flights for spring break to Kauai and they were surprisingly way cheaper than initial drop day already. We saved 75k points.

that is good. Wanna get away flight category is, at least at the moment, sold out for my flight down (plus is up to $354) and price went up some on my return flight.

Speaking of selling out ... for companion pass, if WGA is sold out but other categories are available, you can still book the companion pass, correct?

I qualified for a promotional companion pass that starts 8/15. Thanks!

Correct, it's not based on fare but rather seats on the plane.

Flying with Southwest in two weeks. Because we ran into flight cancellation issues last summer with a different airline, I want to be prepared. What number would I call if, for example, my connecting flight was cancelled? Is it the 1800-I-FLY-SWA? Last summer, with the other airline, the line at the airport moved maybe once in 30-35 minutes while I was able to make the change on the phone with an agent.

Planning for the worst, hoping for the best

Yes, 1-800-I-FLY-SWA is what's listed on their website. You can also change flights in the app, and I've had good luck using the 'chat' feature in the app as well if waits on the phone are long.

 

[jkelly86]

I don't think you can call or use the app to change if you've already checked baggage in, just FYI.
