I know October 30 is release day for flights through June 6, but does Southwest ever have Black Friday sales or any other sale that might be better prices than first day release prices? I’m looking for the best rates for late May, early June.
If your are booking for just one, there is no longer any need to book 2 one-ways, if both ways are on points. When going through the "change" process, the system allows you to change just one flight or roundtrip. However, if you are booking multiple passengers, you may be able to find lower fares for some in your party, but not all. In that case, I suggest opening multiple browsers at time of initial booking to check for greatest number of seats available at the lowest fare.Booking for a very expensive and popular week on release day using points. Should I book roundtrip all on one confirmation number? Or should I book each way separately in case the fares/points go down and we can get credited? I'm thinking booking all at once is faster although booking separately would be easier to adjust later on if necessary.
I am booking for three passengers all on points under my own account so I could do 3 roundtrips on points or book each way separately.If your are booking for just one, there is no longer any need to book 2 one-ways, if both ways are on points.

As a retired teacher and can relate to what you are going through, KayW It does seem like Southwest used to release the dates closer to 6 AM Eastern time a lot more regularly Now it seems like the release time is so much more randomMe!

I know! Loved it when it was between 6 and 6:30. Now I have to keep refreshing and teaching all at the same time. This won't be pretty today. Should have planned the test I am giving for today!As a retired teacher and can relate to what you are going through, KayW It does seem like Southwest used to release the dates closer to 6 AM Eastern time a lot more regularly Now it seems like the release time is so much more random
