Hopefully they will just change the plane. It seems like they've been updating the MAX8 situation around the middle of each month on their website, so it should be soon.It's a MAX8. Hope they change the plane and not the time
Yes. For as long as I have been looking (probably 5+ years now since this information was shared with me) I've always found that the low fare calendar displays the new dates before the normal way of booking does. It's a great little tip to know and has saved me a lot of money over the years!My thanks too! I had been impatiently checking all morning and then decided to stop by this thread to see what was up. Just booked our August trip through the low fare calendar for less than 9k points per person. Does this low fare calendar thing always work on release days?
My flight home is also displaying a Max8. I'll keep an eye on it. Thankful that it's the flight home and not the one to Orlando.My flight into MCO is on a Max8. Great.
This is our return flight and an example of what it looks like if you're currently booked on a MAX8 flight. Hoping they will change the plane by September.Does your flight say Max8? My flight back says 737-800, but that's not the Max8. I think.
I think this is great for the A-list people and their families. We don't tend to have too many A-listers on our flights I don't think, if they're they ones with A1-15 boarding groups.This may get lost in all the release date frenzy but my husband was just e-mailed HUGE news and probably will impact a lot of folks here on the Boards that purchase EBCI:

My husband presently is A-List. Unfortunately our April flight is on 2 different reservations--one with his travel credit and mine with points. Still though this is something to keep in mind for the future.
The information above says it will automatically check in people on the same reservation so basically giving part of the A-list benefit.
We're flying on similar dates and had the same issues with the typical flights not being available and higher prices than usual.Boy this was a real cluster you know what this morning. It took forever to get the fares to show and I tried on both my phone and on my computer. Fares for Oct much higher than I'd hoped and definitely higher than what everyone is reporting for Aug & Sept. I finally settled on $142 pp for the 2nd flight of the morning from BWI on Oct 4 and $194 pp for a 7:05 pm return on Oct 11th. There always USED TO BE a 9:00 or 9:15 return flight which I always used to book and which was not there this time. They skipped from 7:05 to 10:20. That's just too late for us as we live about an hour away from the airport. So that was a bummer. It was only $119 so could have saved $75 pp. Guess I'll start watching the fares and see if they drop and I can get any credits now that I've booked these.

A1-A15 is only for Business Select fare (or Upgraded Priority) and IME the slots aren't completely filled on average so you're probably thinking of that.I think this is great for the A-list people and their families.

@Mackenzie Click-Mickelson does your husband normally get assigned an A1-15 Boarding Number or, am I misunderstanding and he gets A16 and above?
You need to fly 25 one-way revenue flights (not paid with points or vouchers) or earn 35,000 tier-qualifying points within one calendar year. Status earned in one calendar year is good for the balance of that year, + all of the following year. The count resets every year on January 1 for attaining A-List and A-List Preferred status.how does one become an A-lister? And do you have to be an A-lister before the flights are purchased or can that happen as long as you haven't flown on that flight yet?
I think there might be adjustments on transactions that qualify for A-list for status through 2021. Here's the link for that information: https://www.southwest.com/html/rapidrewards/eoy-tier-communication.htmlhow does one become an A-lister?
