Flight Cancellation Policy Of Southwest Airlines

We have all been in situations where we have had to cancel our travel plans due to one reason or another. Travel plans are always subject to change due to the busy lifestyle we live in modern times. If you have booked a flight ticket with Southwest Airlines and are looking to cancel it then it is worth your time to go through the basic guidelines Southwest provides regarding their flight cancellation policy.

Here’s what you need to know.

Southwest Airlines is well known for its customer-friendly policies and the same is the case with their cancellation policy. The airline states that a passenger can cancel their flight without any charges if they so within their given time limit.

Simply put, you can cancel your flight at any given time without any penalty up to 10 minutes before the scheduled departure of the flight.

If you have paid for your flight booking in cash, you will get the same amount refunded to you by your payment method or it will be turned into travel funds (this depends on the type of fare you had booked) which can be used for a future booking.

In case you have booked a non-refundable flight, you can still get a full refund through your payment method or in the form of travel funds if you cancel your flight within 24 hours of making the booking. If the booking was made by the use of Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards points, they will be refunded into your loyalty account.

It is important to note that there are a few specific guidelines regarding the usage of Travel Funds. They can only be accessed with the confirmation number and the name of the originally ticketed passenger, which implies that they are non-transferable and cannot be used to book a flight for another passenger. These funds also expire after one year from the time of the original booking.
