Well, the extension didn't happen this morning. My new guess is Thursday, January 11 at 10AM Central Time for travel through mid-June.

Doesn't look like it was today either. I want to book MDW-PHL on May 11-13 to see the Cubs play the Phillies. And I have a conference in Dallas immediately thereafter.
Come on, Southwest, extend the schedule already!

Something unusual must be going on. The earnings call is on the 17th, so I suppose they're cooking up a surprise (maybe a new city?) for release on the 17th or 18th.
My new prediction is 10 AM on the 17th. Failing that, 10 AM on the 18th

New city or big change? That sounds likely.
I never understood why SWA did not service Minn. (MSP) or from an airport near by. From what I have seen, NWA has these routes dominated and SW flights to DEN, MDW, PHX, LAS would likely do very well.

I'm excited at the thought of a new city, but I doubt that is what's up WN's sleeve. Gary Kelly has repeatedly said that WN does not have enough aircraft to open any new cities in 2007 and satisfy pent-up demand in existing cities. Time will tell if he is BSing.

I am waiting on a trip to Vegas. May 10-13. I'd rather book the entire trip at once instead of 1 one-ways... Let's go, already!!!

Hopefully it will open up next week as a family member deathly afraid of flying is so close to backing out!
