Southwest's schedule should open through November 2 at about 10 AM Central Time today. This was announced at
blogsouthwest.com.
This date was correctly predicted by FT member
Beckles, who then predicted June 28 for the subsequent extension. Southwest's Bill Owen then revealed that June 28 was indeed the next target date, with booking to extend through early January. It would appear that our
Official Schedule Extension Prediction Thread needs to change: we need to predict what
Beckles will predict!
Other news:
1. Ding has had some truly outstanding $25 and $50 sales the past two weekends. I recommend watching Ding on weekends until this pattern changes. There was also a $25 and $50 sale for Columbus (CMH) yesterday, possibly indicating the beginning of single-city blowouts as another way of drawing attention to Ding.
2. Because Ding is looking more interesting now, you might want to take the time to set up a portable URL for it. This will let you use Ding at work or on the road. The setup procedure requires access to your home Ding installation. See
