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

[Edwinboaz]

Southwest Airlines offers a traveler-friendly no-fee change policy for most fares. You can modify dates, times, or destinations without penalties, except for Basic fares, which are non-changeable after the 24-hour risk-free period. Visit southwest.com, use “My Trips,” or call (844) 734-0813 to change flights.

 

Wanna Get Away Plus, Anytime, and Business Select fares allow changes, but you’ll pay any fare difference if the new flight is pricier. If cheaper, you’ll receive a travel credit, valid for one year. For fare details, contact (844) 734-0813. Within 24 hours of booking, all fares can be changed for free if the flight is seven days out, per U.S. DOT rules.

 

For third-party bookings, contact the agency first, but Southwest can assist at (844) 734-0813. International or group bookings may have specific rules—verify by calling (844) 734-0813. If Southwest significantly alters your schedule, you may change without fare differences. Use the Low Fare Calendar for cheaper options.

 

Companion Pass bookings require separate changes for both tickets—call (844) 734-0813 for guidance. Credits are non-transferable and tied to the original traveler. Travel insurance may cover additional costs—check your policy. For multi-city or Rapid Rewards point bookings, ensure all legs are updated correctly.

 

Book early to secure preferred flights, especially during peak seasons. Monitor email for change confirmations and credit details. For special circumstances, like illness, Southwest may offer waivers—contact (844) 734-0813 for options. Southwest’s customer service at (844) 734-0813 provides personalized support to navigate the change policy, manage fare differences, and ensure a seamless booking experience.
