To have the latest updated airport information, be sure to check the online Additional Changes during your flight planning! This is a complete database of all known changes to the information published in the Guides. The online Additional Changes database is located under the Subscribers Menu here on the web site. You can easily check for any Additional Changes that have become effective since the printed pages were last revised. Searching by an airport's identifier, name or city you will learn if there are any known changes at that airport, and if so, what the new information is. You can also view a complete list of all airports in the Guide showing which airports have Additional Changes and a link to see the new information.
Access to the Additional Changes system is available to current subscribers only and is password controlled. The password for each new Revision cycle is published on page VI of the Introduction Section. [March 16, 2007]

Until the reformatting of the Southwest Guide is completed over the next few Revisions, the Southwest Revisions will be delivered as they are completed and not on the published schedule of December and June. There will still be two Revisions per year, and we will attempt to complete them as close to the published schedule as possible. Once the reformatting of the Guide is complete, Southwest Revisions will return to the December and June schedule. [February 15, 2008]
