Just a heads up notice regarding the Southwest Schedule:
On Thursday, July 7, Southwest will open their schedule for sale through March 7, 2017.
Currently, the schedule is open through Jan 4, 2017.
I know a lot of folks like to book on "opening day", thinking that they get a better deal then. Personally, in 20 years of flying Southwest, I've never had a situation where the opening day price for my routes was ever the lowest - I've always found better prices much closer to the actual flight. But that's just me and I do recognize that prices vary by route and time of year.
