For those that are interested, SW Airlines opened up their reservations this morning through March 6, 2015.:D

 

Yes, Air Namibia open up reservations, thank the lord!

 

P.S. Why is there a separate thread for this when there's a stickie at the top of the page to handle this exact issue? :confused::mad:

[6rugrats]

Hopefully, it's o.k. with you that I answer your question.

 

Because moderators from other boards move them over here or because people don't pay attention to the sticky.

 

If it bothers you, why not just report it?

Geez, is it really that important to you? I didn't see the sticky. Maybe that is because the "sticky" isn't in the RCCL Boards discussions! I don't check "Cruise Discussions." My bad.:eek::p

Does anyone know if Southwest miles ever expire?

 

No, they do not, although check the language below since they do want activity from a SW flight or Partner every 24 months.

 

"Your points don't expire**

Plan your getaway for next week or next year. Either way, it's no problem since your points no longer have an expiration date."

 

**Points don’t expire as long as you have flight or Partner earning activity every 24 months. Benefits apply to points transactions. All Rapid Rewards Rules and Regulations apply."

 

If you have a SW Visa card, and you use it, you protect your SW points!

Thanks! For some reason I couldn't find it on the website. Wouldn't you know it, though, I need it for March 15! Guess I will wait a little longer.

 

Go to SW Airlines website, click on "Travel Tools" located to the right of the page, then click on "All Travel Tools". Here you will see at the top of the page the next reservation opening date!

***Note - There were posts for Jet Blue and South West on this board - however in setting this up I lost them. Please feel free to re-post your information here.

 

I will stick this thread to the top once it gets started.

 

*** This thread will drop posts over 90 days old.

 

Mike, I know you want to keep topics here about airline openings, however, most of us don't come to "Cruise Discussion Topics" to look for this type of information. Maybe have a sticky on ALL Cruise Ship categories to let everyone know it has been placed here?

 

I actually prefer it in the Cruise Ship info area since that is what most of us read besides the Roll Call.:confused:

Got my Southwest tickets for our February cruise thanks to this thread!!! I would have never known to watch for the release date without you guys. Paid $400 less for our upcoming flight then we did this past February. So happy!!!

JetBlue opened up their schedule today, September 14, 2014 for travel THROUGH JUNE 17, 2015. Happy booking!

[bluedevil72]

For those of you, like me, who were waiting on the Southwest release date which was scheduled for today, it's going to be a little longer. I've been trying all morning and decided to google the info. It's been pushed back to Nov. 10.

[Kik35]

Thanks for the update Bluedevil(for some reason can't quote). Have been checking. Need to find flights for next April, missed the last batch by 4 days!!:eek:

[cruiselvr04]

I looked today ready to book. Will check November 10 now. Thanks for the update.

[didicruiser]

Thanks for the update

[Algebralovr]

Thanks for the update. I read they have been reworking some schedules to get their on time ratings up.

 

I need to make May air reservations, so I'll be looking on November 10!

[Zach1213]

Rumors amongst one or two aviation forums I have seen are saying it will be their "biggest schedule change ever" and a "complete makeover". I, for one, am intrigued, even though I am not looking to book any tickets.

 

Southwest really needs to change how they turn their aircraft as they find themselves increasingly large and in increasingly busy/delayed airports. The 25-30 minute turns simply don't cut it any more, and are resulting in delays.

I booked our trip from MKE to FLL for 4/3/15 but have to wait for the dates to open to come back on 4/12/15. I love that they do non-stop. One up and down and we're either in Florida or home in Wisconsin.

 

:D

It's interesting to hear that. My one observation to date of a WN turn was that it couldn't be done in the fabled 25 minutes.

 

I wonder what has changed?

It definitely can't be done. That, combined with busier and more deplane prone airports, are the root of WN's delay problems. They need to make turn times more like 35-45 minutes IMHO.

 

In the old days (like 7-10 years ago) it could be done in 25 and routinely was. Not any more.

I've been "lucky" enough that my second leg has always been delayed allowing me to make the connection. Unfortunately the delay ends up being hours long.... way more than necessary.

 

Now I try to stick with nonstop flights when it comes to SWest, there are some handy ones from Albany and if you book early enough the prices are reasonable.

[Algebralovr]

The reworked seating that means more people on the plane is also contributing to the time to turn over the plane. That said, I find my flights on Southwest are still more on time than many others, and I am more likely to get where I need to be on a direct flight on Southwest than another airline.

JetBlue will be opening up their schedule on Sunday, November 2nd at noon eastern THROUGH SEPTEMBER 7, 2015.

[Roz]

Anyone know when Southwest will release their schedule beyond April 6, 2015? I'm anxious to start pricing flights for my 4-day Coastal cruise next year.

We are currently accepting air reservations through April 6, 2015. On November 10, 2014, we will open our schedule for sale through June 5, 2015. This date is subject to change! Please check back frequently.

[Roz]

Cleara,

 

Where did you find that on their website? Thanks for the info - that's exactly what I was looking for. Just a few more days and I can start comparison shopping, although I always end up with SW if they serve the destination I'm traveling to.

Ever since Southwest changed the website, I've not been able to find that page without doing a search for Travel Tools.

[grobbins]

I found it on the very bottom of the page with the lists of topics. I clicked on Flight Schedules and there it was.
