What Is Southwest Airlines Cancellation Policy? (844) 734-0813

[Edwinboaz]

Southwest Airlines has one of the most flexible cancellation policies in the industry. You can cancel any flight without fees, regardless of fare type (Basic, Wanna Get Away Plus, Anytime, Business Select). To understand specifics, call (844) 734-0813. Cancellations can be made on southwest.com, the Southwest app, or by phone.

 

For non-refunded fares like Basic or Wanna Get Away Plus, cancellations result in a travel credit, valid for one year from the original booking date. Refundable fares (Anytime, Business Select) can be refunded to the original payment method. For refund details, contact (844) 734-0813. Credits are non-transferable and tied to the original traveler.

 

Within 24 hours of booking, all fares can be canceled for a full refund if the flight is at least seven days out, per U.S. DOT regulations. To process this, call (844) 734-0813. If Southwest cancels your flight due to weather or operational issues, you can choose a refund or rebooking without penalties.

 

International flights or group bookings (10+ passengers) may have additional requirements—verify by calling (844) 734-0813. If using a Companion Pass, cancel both tickets separately to avoid complications. Travel insurance may cover cancellations for specific reasons like illness—check your policy for details.

 

Book early to secure flexibility, as credits from cancellations must be used within a year. For third-party bookings, contact the agency first, but Southwest can assist at (844) 734-0813. Monitor southwest.com for policy updates or waivers during disruptions. For assistance with cancellations, credit usage, or special circumstances, Southwest’s customer service at (844) 734-0813 offers personalized support to navigate the policy and ensure a smooth process.
