You'll see some changes to EWR's schedule post 11/4. There will be the same number of flights but changes will be made to help with the afternoon [atc] delays.

WN's schedule is already published through 06-Jan. The only changes that could occur between 04-Nov and 06-Jan would be brand new service, and (IIRC), WN has no slots to add service, so...

That might be the first schedule with -800s. If not, they should be on the next one. I wonder if we'll see anything different.

Home page says schedule open through March 9; however it is still not bookable. I'll keep checking.

Similar results here. The Travel Tools page claims the schedule has been is open through 09-March, but actual flight searches beyond 06-Jan do not yet work.

BTW, the Travel Tools page also says the next extension will take place on 05-Sep and will open booking through 09-April.

I get schedule, but no fares nor check box to select which flights

And very, very few Award flights available.

Is system just not running well yet???

Cancel policy?

Is policy still ok to cancel within 24 hr to get refundable (not credit) even if buying a cheapee fare?

SWA is screwing us again. For 1 - 9 March (sched only goes to then), only 1 award flight from MCO to RNO shown. Yes, maybe things will open up -- but why do customers have to go thru all the issues every time they open a schedule. Maybe they need to open schedules up every 2 weeks so not so much data!

I'm confused...how can there be no awards available? I'm seeing all point based fares as well as dollar based fares...or are you trying to use old tix?

There are some difference post 11/4 for EWR. No more 9:25PM flight for EWR-MDW but there is now a 5:15. The last non-stop to PHX leaves at 12L50PM instead of 6PM.

I am using the RR1.0 Awards (not points) For example only 1 flight MCO-CMH on sat 3/3. No flights on Fri CMH-MCO on 2/24. No flights from MCO-RNO for 3/4 (in fact only 1 flight from 3/1 - 3/6). Looks like WN is really restricting the old Awards. And I was on line at 7am Central (when the system was not even able to let one purchase a ticket).

Exactly the reason I refuse to pay to top up my last 1/2 old reward.

SW Flights after March 9th?

When will SWA open up flights for dates after the 9th of March.

The OLD website used to have this, (but like everything else about
the new SWA), it is no longer easy to find.

Hopefully someone more dedicated than me to SWA can help me.

Thanks
