I am going to wait and book my flights then since it looks like SW will be releasing soon and I'd like to compare airline prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is an established fact that aside from Wanna fares, WN is often higher than legacy carriers for the same travel dates -- if you had purchased prior to the WN release. If you see a good price now, grab it, as it may not be available from any carrier in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for those that don't want to go through that process, here's the link. https://www.southwest.com/flight/routemap_dyn.html Thank you, but when I do that it populates me back to "book a flight" and when I enter a random day (just to see if they ever fly there) it says "no flights available/not scheduled to operate on the date selected" So I didnt know if that meant just certain dates ( I have tried a few), or if they just never fly those routes. Perhaps Im using the route map search incorrectly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need the schedule to open up for comparisons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare FlyerTalker Posted May 15, 2020 #705 Share Posted May 15, 2020 What it accurately shows are the cities serviced by WN. If you have the "map view", it will show you the cities. If you have the list view, you can click on various origins and see where there is non-stop service. So work back from your destination....from Honolulu there are four mainland cities. And so forth. Remember two facts -- WN only shows flights out a short time frame and that many routes have gotten reduced service due to the dropoff in flight demand.

If the date changes you'll see the change on the page: https://www.southwest.com/air/flight-schedules/index.html At one point, I used to know what time of day SW opened up the new dates, but I'm old and my memory is failing me. I think it may have been 5am est, but I don't trust my memory. Any idea when they will start allowing bookings when they add dates on the 28th? Thanks in advance!

CategoryQ Posted May 29, 2020 #708 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Southwest has released flights to Jan 4 2021 currently. This is a new one for me - the website says: "At this time, we do not have a date for our next schedule extension therefore please check back frequently."

Rare Roz Posted September 16, 2021 #718 Share Posted September 16, 2021 I just booked my flights. Paid more than I wanted, but I was using points so that takes away some of the pain. "Good" flight times coming back were already gone, so I opted for a 4:55 pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
