Does Southwest Airlines Have a 24 Hour Cancellation Policy? (844) 734-0813

[Edwinboaz]

Yes, Southwest Airlines follows a 24-hour cancellation policy per U.S. DOT regulations. You can cancel any flight within 24 hours of booking for a full refund, regardless of fare type (Basic, Wanna Get Away Plus, Anytime, Business Select), if the flight is at least seven days away. For details, call (844) 734-0813.

 

To cancel, visit southwest.com, go to “My Trips,” select your flight, and click “Cancel Flight.” Alternatively, use the Southwest app or call (844) 734-0813 for assistance. Refunds for non-refunded fares (e.g., Basic) are issued as travel credits, while refundable fares (Anytime, Business Select) return funds to the original payment method.

 

Beyond 24 hours, Southwest’s no-fee cancellation policy still applies. Non-refunded fares convert to travel credits, valid for one year from the booking date. For clarification on credit usage, contact (844) 734-0813. If Southwest cancels your flight, you can choose a refund or rebooking without penalties.

 

For third-party bookings, like Expedia, contact the agency first, but Southwest can assist at (844) 734-0813. International flights or group bookings may have unique rules—verify eligibility for the 24-hour policy by calling (844) 734-0813. Credits are non-transferable and tied to the original traveler.

 

Act promptly within the 24-hour window to secure a full refund. If using a Companion Pass, cancel both tickets separately. For special circumstances, like illness, Southwest may offer waivers—call (844) 734-0813 for options. Southwest’s customer service at (844) 734-0813 provides support to process 24-hour cancellations, manage refunds, or navigate fare rules effectively.
