Book 'em now! Especially the $39 intra-California fares, which lately have been on and off for a few weeks at a time.

Interesting that they said the fares were on sale through midnight Pacific time, yet the intra-Cal internet-only fares were already gone as of 11:15 PM

I always try to complete my bookings by 10:30PM Pacific time, because the web pages that allow you to re-use ticketless funds go down for update every night shortly afterwards.
As to this being the first time a sale ended an hour or so early, I recall that at least one other instance was posted here. I hope someone tells Southwest that they need to post to correct expiration time and then fully meet that commitment to customers.

$39 fares are back now through Thursday if you book 14 days ahead. You can get $61 from 7 to 13 days ahead.

Also, Wednesday's WSJ notes that the $99 max on the systemwide sale is now $149.

Your guess would mean that this Tuesday 11/16 should be sale day. Are they that predictable, or is it really a guess?
I am planning a trip in April and need to fly 4/23. Should the fares still be good 11/23?

The $39 LAX-OAK fares are available NOW, but probably going away tonight until Tuesday. The $39 still cuts off after 2/15/04.

It looks like $39 LAX-OAK is going to stay alive through December 16, along with the TX and NW specials. I will post here if the $39 fares become available for travel post-Feb 15.
