When will the schedule horizon be extended? Why doesn Southwest allow me to book 11 months ahead like the other majors do?
a. (nsx) This is probably the single most frequently asked question on the Southwest forum. If you ask it there, don’t be surprised if your thread is locked or deleted. The moderator is not fond of answering the same question over and over again when everything we know is right here and in the Official schedule extension prediction thread. b. (nsx) The schedule is usually extended on a Thursday morning, around 10 AM Central Time. One tipoff is when the current sale is “through the end of the schedule” rather than having a specific ending date. c.
