Historical Southwest Airlines Schedule Release Dates

Unlike most airlines which release their schedules 11-12 months in advance, Southwest Airlines releases its schedule for around 8 months at a time, and they do this every few months.

This can make it frustrating when you are planing travel that is several months away and Southwest doesn’t have published schedules yet.

You can refer to this table (which will be continuously updated) to get an idea of when the schedules have been released.
