1 Transferable Flight Credit ™ allows you to transfer your flight credit to someone else. Both must be Rapid Rewards ® Members and only one transfer is permitted. Transferable Flight Credits don't expire. For bookings made through a Southwest ® Business channel, there is a limitation to transfer only between employees within the organization.
2 For same-day changes, on your day of travel, if there's an open seat on a different flight on the same calendar day as your original flight and it's between the same cities, you can book a confirmed seat on the new flight free of airline charges. If there isn't an open seat, ask a Southwest Gate Agent to add you to the same-day standby list. If there are any government taxes and fees associated with these itinerary changes, you will be required to pay those. Your original boarding position is not guaranteed.
3 First and second checked bags. Weight and size limits apply. A golf bag or skis in a container acceptable to Southwest can be substituted for one checked bag.
4 Fare difference may apply.
5 Failure to cancel a reservation at least 10 minutes prior to scheduled departure may result in forfeited travel funds.
6 Flight credits for non-refundable fares will be issued as long as the flight is cancelled more than 10 minutes prior to the scheduled departure. Flight credits don't expire.
7 Refundable, as long as you cancel your reservation at least ten (10) minutes prior to the scheduled departure of your flight. If you cancel, you®re eligible to receive 100% of your ticket value as a refund to your original form of payment. A Southwest flight credit from a previous reservation that is applied toward a Business Select or Anytime fare will be refunded as a flight credit. For travel booked with Rapid Rewards points, If canceled, points will be returned to the Rapid Rewards account holder who booked the ticket.
8 Priority and Express Lanes: Priority Lanes and Express Lanes, ( where available ), are designed to speed our Business Select and Anytime Customers, as well as A-List, and A-List Preferred Members, through check-in and security lines. Priority Lanes are at Southwest check-in counters, and Express Lanes are at security checkpoints.
9 EarlyBird Check-In means you will automatically be checked in to your flight 36 hours prior to scheduled departure. For Anytime fares purchased between 36 and 24 hours, the boarding position assignment process has begun so this may impact the boarding position assigned to you. If you purchase an Anytime fare within 24 hours of your flight’s scheduled departure, you will not receive the EarlyBird Check-In benefit. In an irregular operation situation, the boarding position is not guaranteed.
10 Flights traveling 175 miles or less only serve water.
