If you happen to find a lower price, you’ll either receive a Travel Funds credit or your points back, depending on how you initially paid for the fare. Related: The best Southwest Airlines credit cards What happens when you find a lower price Many Southwest members - myself included - have been able to rebook upcoming flights and get the fare difference back in their pockets. It's a huge perk and a great option for travelers who want to reduce their overall costs, whether that be in points or dollars. Southwest doesn't limit travelers to a 24-hour rule like most other airlines or allot passengers a one-time courtesy. You can rebook anytime from the initial booking up until 10 minutes before the flight’s departure. Southwest even allows you to rebook an unlimited number of times. All customers can rebook a flight to get the best price available, elite status or no elite status. Some other airlines do waive their fees for those with status but on Southwest, it doesn’t matter who you are. Whether you booked using points or paid cash, you can always rebook your flight and get the difference back. However, there is one airline that will not charge you any fees when a fare decreases: Southwest. If those fees - which used to soar into the $200 range - start creeping back, it most likely won't be worth it to rebook if a fare drops in price. Should you book now? Hold off a few days? A few months? It can be a stressful process, especially when buying tickets for an entire family.Īlthough most airlines dropped their hefty change fees during the pandemic, there's no guarantee those policies will last through the future we saw this when British Airways scrapped its "Book with Confidence" policy this week. You never know what the price might be a few days or months down the line, and it's hard to know if you're booking the lowest possible rate.
