Southwest Airlines Extends Schedule Though Aug. 5
Southwest Airlines today extended its schedule through Aug. 4, 2025, offering customers a head start to book next summer’s vacation. The extended schedule includes additional redeye flights, popular seasonal routes, and more nonstop flights.
When Southwest announces an extension to their schedule, many of their loyal fans are eager to take advantage, since it is one of the largest domestic carriers in the country.
The carrier also often offers the lowest prices on many routes and free checked bags, which is quite rare nowadays. However, it’s worth noting that prices are usually higher when the Southwest schedule is first extended.
If you book with points, that shouldn’t be much of an issue since you can check later and rebook if your flights drops in price. If you fly Southwest often then even cash bookings are worth it. If you book a Wanna Get Away or Wanna Get Away Plus fare, then you will receive flight credit for any price difference. Anytime or Business Select tickets are fully refundable.
And remember that you can cancel until 10 minutes before a flight’s scheduled departure time.
