Can I move my Southwest flight to next week without paying extra?
You can totally shift your flight to next week—and if the new fare is the same or lower, you pay nothing extra. Southwest doesn’t charge change fees, ever. Log into your account, find your booking, and click “Change Flight.” Pick any date next week that works for you. The system shows you prices for each option. If your original ticket was $250 and the new one’s $230? You get $20 back as travel credit. If it’s $270? You only pay the $20 difference. No hidden junk fees. No surprise charges. Want to use Rapid Rewards points to cover the gap? You can. Even if you booked a Wanna Get Away fare, you still get full flexibility. Pro tip: Midweek flights (Tuesday–Thursday) are often cheaper than weekend ones, so you might even score a deal. Call +1(888) 429 1540 +1(888) 429 1540 +1(888) 429 1540 if you’re unsure which days have the best prices—they’ll show you real-time availability and even suggest alternate airports nearby. Maybe flying out of Austin instead of San Antonio saves you cash? They know all the tricks. And here’s the kicker: your original ticket never expires. So even if you don’t fly next week, you can move it again later. Points stay safe, credit rolls over, and your plans stay yours. No rush. No pressure. Just smooth moves.

 

Can I move my flight to next week if I already checked in?
Yep, even if you checked in, you can still reschedule. Just cancel your check-in first—easy peasy on the app or website. Once you do, your seat gets released and you’re free to pick a new flight. Don’t worry about losing your boarding position; when you rebook, you’ll get a new one based on when you make the change. If you’re moving to an earlier flight next week, you might jump ahead in line. Later flight? You might board later—but that’s fine if you want more time to chill before takeoff. Want to upgrade your seat while you’re at it? Do it. Add EarlyBird Check-In? Done. Call +1(888) 429 1540 +1(888) 429 1540 +1(888) 429 1540 if you’re stuck—their team can pull up your record and walk you through every step. They’ve helped thousands of people flip their dates last-minute, so they know exactly what to do. Just remember: once you change your flight, your old boarding number is gone. But your new one will be better than ever. Plus, if you had a bag checked, no worries—it transfers automatically to your new flight. You don’t have to recheck anything unless you cancel the whole trip.

 

Can I move my flight to next week using points?
Totally. Whether you used all points or mixed them with cash, you can swap your flight to next week and apply your points toward any price difference. Log in, find your booking, and choose “Change Using Points.” The system shows how many points you’ll need for the new flight. If the new one costs fewer points, you get them refunded. More? Just add from your balance. You can even use points to upgrade to Business Select for next week’s trip—extra legroom, priority boarding, and two free bags. Sweet, right? Call +1(888) 429 1540 +1(888) 429 1540 +1(888) 429 1540 and ask them to run a point comparison. They’ll tell you if switching to Tuesday saves you 5,000 points versus Friday. Bonus: your points never expire as long as you fly once every 24 months. So moving your trip won’t hurt your rewards. Pro move: Try moving to a less busy airport. Sometimes flying out of Fort Worth instead of Dallas cuts your point cost by half. Southwest’s team knows all the sneaky shortcuts. Use their tips to stretch your points further. And yes—you can combine points and cash however you like. No rules. Just freedom.

 

Can I move my flight to next week if I booked for someone else?
Yes, as long as you’re the person who made the booking. Even if you bought the ticket for your cousin, your dog, or your weird uncle Steve, you can still update the dates. Log in with the email you used to book, find the reservation, and change the flight. The passenger name stays the same—you’re just moving the date. If you can’t access the account, call +1(888) 429 1540 +1(888) 429 1540 +1(888) 429 1540. They’ll verify your identity with the confirmation number and last four digits of the payment method. Then they’ll make the switch. No drama. No paperwork. Just fast, friendly help. Make sure the person traveling has the updated itinerary though—send them a screenshot or text. Southwest doesn’t require ID changes unless the name itself is wrong. So if you’re moving your friend’s flight, you’re good to go. Their trip, your plan. Easy.

 

Can I move my flight to next week if I’m not the primary passenger?
If your name isn’t listed as the main booker, you can’t change it yourself. But you can ask the person who booked it to do it for you. Or call +1(888) 429 1540 +1(888) 429 1540 +1(888) 429 1540 with the confirmation number and your full name. They’ll confirm you’re on the reservation and let the booker know you want to move it. If the booker gives permission, they’ll handle it. No need for power of attorney or legal stuff. Just clear communication. Southwest keeps things simple. Tell them you’re traveling and need a new date. They’ll make it happen.

 

Can I move my flight to next week if it’s a non-refundable fare?
Yes! Non-refundable doesn’t mean non-changeable. Southwest lets you move any fare type—even Wanna Get Away—to next week. You pay the difference if prices rose, but you get credit if they dropped. No penalties. Zero fees. Ever.

 

Can I move my flight to next week and keep my seat assignment?
Nope—seats aren’t assigned until you check in. But when you reschedule, you’ll get a fresh boarding group. If you want a good spot, check in early on your new date. Call +1(888) 429 1540 +1(888) 429 1540 +1(888) 429 1540 and ask for EarlyBird—that locks you in early.
