Southwest Airlines Change & Cancel — Frequently Asked Questions

Does Southwest charge to change a flight?
No. Southwest Airlines never charges a change fee on any fare type — Wanna Get Away, Wanna Get Away Plus, Anytime, or Business Select. You only pay the fare difference if the new flight costs more. If the new flight is cheaper, the difference is added to your Southwest flight credit.
How do I cancel a Southwest Airlines flight?
Call us and we process your Southwest cancellation immediately. For Wanna Get Away and Wanna Get Away Plus fares, the full ticket value becomes a Southwest flight credit. For Anytime and Business Select, you receive a full cash refund to your original payment. The 24-hour policy applies to all fares.
What are Southwest flight credits and do they expire?
Southwest flight credits (formerly travel funds) are issued when you cancel a non-refundable ticket. The great news: flight credits created on or after July 28, 2022 do not expire. You can keep them until you are ready to travel. Our agents can locate your existing credits and apply them to your next Southwest booking on the same call.
What is a Southwest same-day change?
Southwest offers two same-day options. Same-Day Confirmed guarantees you a seat on a different same-day flight for a flat fee (free for Wanna Get Away Plus and above). Same-Day Standby lists you for an earlier flight — your boarding pass is issued at the gate if a seat opens. Call us on your travel day and we check availability instantly.
Can I correct a name on a Southwest Airlines ticket?
Minor spelling errors can typically be corrected for free. Complete name changes to a different person are not allowed. Southwest tickets are non-transferable — however, Wanna Get Away Plus and higher fares allow you to transfer your flight credit to another Rapid Rewards member. Call us and we verify what is eligible for your ticket.
What is Southwest's 24-hour cancellation policy?
Southwest allows a full refund to the original form of payment if you cancel within 24 hours of booking — regardless of fare type, including Wanna Get Away. This is one of the most generous 24-hour policies in the industry. Call us immediately if you need to void a recent booking.
What if the Southwest flight price drops after I book?
Southwest's fare drop protection is unmatched. If your flight's price drops after booking, you can rebook at the lower fare and receive the difference as a Southwest flight credit. Our agents monitor this and rebook when the savings are significant.
What happens if I miss my Southwest flight?
If you miss a Southwest flight without cancelling, your Wanna Get Away funds are forfeited. Anytime and Business Select tickets retain their value. Always call us up to 10 minutes before your flight's scheduled departure — we can cancel and preserve your flight credit before it is too late.
Can I rebook using my Southwest flight credit?
Yes. We handle Southwest cancel and rebook on the same call — cancelling your original flight and immediately booking a new one using your flight credit or a new payment. Flight credits can be used for any future Southwest flight, including on routes the original credit was not booked on.
Can I upgrade to Business Select after booking?
Yes. If Business Select availability exists on your flight, we can process an upgrade from Wanna Get Away or Anytime — you pay the fare difference. Business Select gives you guaranteed A1–A15 boarding, a premium drink, and full refundability. Call us and we check live upgrade inventory on your specific flight.
