Joined Oct 28, 2000 Messages 482 I’m sure this has been asked, but I couldn’t find a recent thread: What time does Southwest open up their schedule on the scheduled day? Supposed to open tomorrow 5/31 thru Jan 9 and wonder if it’s still 7 am EST-ish? TIA Simba's Mom

Joined Feb 11, 2009 Messages 21,037 We've had it as early as 6:20am and as late as 8:30am. My general rule of thumb is to start checking around 6-6:15am. Q

Joined Aug 24, 2016 Messages 6,508 I'm wanting to book flights for December. I've heard it can be as late as 10:30am eastern. I'm hoping its early in the morning because I have a Dr's appt at 9:45am and I'll need to leave the house at 9am. I'll also be sad if I get up at 6:30-7am and its not open because I could sleep a bit longer. kniquy

They can be depending on your exact dates, the flights you choose, and where you are flying out of. But there are certainly times where the flights prices are crazy high when released and then drop dramatically a few days or weeks later. Prices can rise and fall several times a day even. Airlines like to play games like that. My vacation package has been booked since September of last year so as long as the prices aren't insanely high I will be buying immediately to ensure I have transportation in order. DisneyMichele

Joined Mar 31, 2018 Messages 72 Thank you @Queen of the WDW Scene ! I hate the games airlines play too, I've been checking everyday- so far only fluctuating by $30 to $50 or so. Hoping to get cheaper flights out of Philadelphia or Newark. dznyacct

Joined Nov 6, 2016 Messages 2,413 Prices will decide whether we go the week after Thanksgiving (peferred) or December 15-22. Considering I have all of my ADRs booked and a couple of extras booked already, I am really hoping the November prices won’t be terrible!
