Expert Guide #1 What is the Southwest cancellation policy?

Southwest cancellation policy is that If you cancel a flight +1[888]5O8[6OO9] {USA} at least 10 minutes before departure, you can either get a full refund (if you booked a refundable fare) or use the funds as credit for future travel. If you don’t cancel in time +1[888]5O8[6OO9] {USA}, though, you lose the ticket value. Plus, Southwest doesn’t charge change fees +1[888]5O8[6OO9] {USA}, so you can adjust your plans without paying extra—just pay any fare difference if the new flight is more expensive.

For non-refundable tickets like Wanna Get Away fares, the money goes into your travel fund, which you can use for another trip within a year from the original booking date.
