Have you tried to check availability, as if making a new reservation? If the flight still shows with a lower fare, you can try logging out of your account, then back in, or try using incognito or private mode.I'm trying to change one of my upcoming flights and keep getting an error message. I'm selecting the same flight to save 2200 points. Is anyone else having this issue?
I could be wrong, but I thought I heard that on this thread. It's never happened to me personally either, but I tend to wait for bigger price drops.Never heard of a limit to repricing on SWA. Maybe I've just never had that many for 1 flight but I was unaware there was a limit on how many you could do.
Every day at least once. As someone else mentioned now I'm just checking every day to make sure I still have a flight.How often do you all check to see if your flights got cheaper after you booked them?
We bought them dirt cheap..like $45.00 each way. We got the change flight stuff, either right before or right after we cancelled our BWI reservations. For grins, I looked at SW for our dates again...wow! The $45.00 flight is now a $119.00 flight...the return went from $45.00 to $55.00.
I just flew MDW-MCO and back again on planes that they claimed were sold out. I sat in the second row from the back both ways and didn't have anyone else in my row, on the return trip there wasn't anyone in the row behind me at all. I saw a few rows with only one person in it.For those of you who have recently flown Southwest, I'm curious how they are keeping middle seats open. Are the flights truly empty enough where they can do this on every flight? DH and I are flying next week nonstop Buffalo to Orlando, which is normally a full flight.
We purchased EBCI back when the flights were booked (pre-Covid), and have made many changes with the most recent being on Monday. Because of this, it will put us at the back of the EBCI "line" for checking in (its my understanding EBCI passengers are checked in at 36 hours in the order in which EBCI is purchased, but flight changes reset that). Should we be concerned about getting two seats together in the same row if everyone is required to leave the middle seat open? Or are families permitted to sit three across if they are traveling together?
Its my understanding you are permitted three forms of payment per passenger. If three people each have one travel voucher, you can apply the travel vouchers and then use a credit card for the balance. For the fourth person, you can do the gift card and the credit card for the balance. The balance is paid as whole on the web site, but this is how it would be considered applied behind the scenes.If I understand correctly, you can have 3 forms of payment on a reservation?
Do travel vouchers count as a form of payment?
There will be 4 people flying SW. 3 of us have travel vouchers from previously canceled flights- I know this will not full cover our new fares. I was going to get a SW gift card as a present for the 4th person.
So I would be looking at 3 vouchers, 1 gift card, and 1 credit card to cover the rest. Is this too much ? Do I need to split us up when I book?
thank you for any information
Sadly, these days until you're seated on the plane, there is a possibility that SW (or any airline) will change or cancel your flight. With the uncertainty of the times they are constantly tweaking their schedules. I'm sure the car services are well aware of this also.How late does Southwest wait before canceling a flight? We have had both our flights changed twice now and with less than three weeks to go I'm wondering if I can breath a sigh of relief that they are done canceling/changing our flights. Or do I keep checking daily? We are using a car service and I want to finalize our flights with them but I was hoping this would be the final change.
This is the day we leave as well!Right now? I leave 11/8 and check every day.
Can't blame them...United and AA have been doing it. Bottom line is it's up to us, as consumers, to do what we think is right for ourselves and families.And in no surprise to me, SW just announced that beginning 12/1 the empty middle seat promise is gone.

I don't really disagree. It was mainly theater anyway. But I will admit that the lower numbers of people jockeying for boarding groups and overhead bin space was something I was looking forward to. At least it only affects me on the way home.Can't blame them...United and AA have been doing it. Bottom line is it's up to us, as consumers, to do what we think is right for ourselves and families.
