Flight Changes and Cancellations
If Southwest has contacted you with a new plan via phone or email, your updated reservation is confirmed, and no further action is required. However, if the new schedule does not suit your plans, you have the option to change or cancel your flight.
Changing Your Flight
In case of an involuntary change, you can modify your flight date/time up to 14 days from your original travel date without incurring any additional charges.
Canceling Your Flight
If you decide not to travel due to a Southwest-initiated schedule change, you can either:
- Receive a method-of-payment refund
- Retain the ticket value as a flight credit for future travel
- You have the option to modify or cancel your flight until 10 minutes prior to the scheduled departure time. For instance, if a flight is set to depart at 8 a.m., changes or cancellations must be made by 7:50 a.m. If passengers neither travel nor make adjustments or cancellations, their reservation will be subject to the airline’s no-show policy.
