Aug 5 through Aug 9, Aug 31

no flights available in September

no flights available in October other than Oct 31

I sure hope availability to get back home opens up in the near future.
I find this annoying as well. Pretty similar dates for SDF to Aruba. I can see connections would be possible for other dates, but not offered. I'm really hoping and expect they will fix this soon. However it has been a number of weeks at this point. For the time being I booked my own flights through BWI and MCO with my own overnight connection. (No way I could make my own connection through MCO in less than an hour with Southwest unable to forward bags through.) I'll rebook some of these once they get their act together.

At least there seems to be plenty of availability to Cancun currently. Perhaps I'll keep that as a backup.
