You will see new routes from CVG coming soon. You will see CVG-MCO, FLL, HOU or anywhere else.

Here's a link:

Southwest will have 4 gates at entire concourse A and they will bring new concessions, as well as new Consolidated Rent Car Center.

You will hear it soon.

Let the speculation begin.

Schedule extensions typically load by/around 5-6am Herb Time.

That said, be aware that things are often unstable/inconsistent until mid-morning/noonish. Its quite common to see reports of "the flight was there but now it's not", followed by "the flight is back again" & similar. There are multiple web servers that take a bit to refresh, synchronize & stabilize, hence the "now you see it, now you dont" performance.

And then there is Soutwest's crack I.T. staff

Also worth noting: phone lines can have especially long hold times (and Groups is usually close to impossible to reach) on release day.

Looks like a slow start today. I'm used to seeing the new schedules no later than 06:00 Herb time; it's now 25 minutes past that and all I can see is that dates up to 29Sep can now be selected but no flights show up...

Seeing the same thing. Already 7:30 EST. Usually they are released well before now.

I'm still seeing this too. I've been seeing this since ~5:40am central (I didn't check earlier than that).

I was looking for it at 5:30 and nothing had been posted as of then so it must have been around 5:35ish.

Is all this preventable?

Isn't the new res system capable of a one-year booking window?

WN next schedule extension 3/16/17 from Sept 29 to Nov 3, 2017

It is time again for next schedule extension on this Thursday for September 29 through Nov 3, 2017.

Any prediction, new international routes, new domestic routes, and station closed, as well.

Let the speculation begin.

Given the current issues with duplicate confirmation numbers, it will be interesting to see if they don't push back that release.

That would be prudent but also an admission that something's wrong and they seem to go to great lengths before publically admitting IT problems (or even admitting privately to those affected).
