These flights I was able to just modify it online and it gave back flight credit ( I shoudlve said that above and not $) and the flight I paid in points for I got points back. These were Delta flights.
Don’t even have to call for SWA. Just modify your flight and they will refund you the points or issue a flight credit. Part of my morning routine is checking the price for every flight I have booked to see if it changed. Happens pretty often.
What do you modify?
You just rebook the same flight and it will issue a credit or refund.
Yep.
Wait until you find out about getting a companion pass by opening 2 credit cards…SW is the airline I just can’t quit. Even if sometimes I want to.
Being Portland based we tend to be almost exclusively Alaska.
Alaska has a great CC. I really loved flying Alaska frequently.
I wish I could hop on the SW companion pass train. SW flights out of where I live are terrible. They are a ton of flights, mostly all with layovers even when flying 2 hours away and all very expensive.
I got a Hawaiian card recently for the 70k with one purchase and companion fare. We have been flying Delta lately since they have a crazy monopoly at our airport. I will still probably fly Hawaiian to Aulani though since it's non stop and reasonably priced and hearing the Hawaiian music on the way is just
As was said you just keep rechecking your flight and they'll give you flight credit for the difference. My wife does it for us and saves us usually a couple 50 to 100 dollars. Another pro tip with southwest is if you book early, they often will change your flight time by 5 or 10 minutes. When they change it, you can rebook your flight to a more desirable time for free within 2 weeks I think it is.
I’m going to have usually 1 or more layovers on almost any flight. Delta or American would be slightly more convenient as they fly from the podunk airport in our town and nobody else does. That would save me expensive parking and the long drive to the major regional airport. But it adds a layover, and American is probably going to route you through O’hare. And nobody wants that.
I’ll going to be watching what happens with the Hawaiian and Alaska CC programs very closely this year.I got a Hawaiian card recently for the 70k with one purchase and companion fare.

we alternate depending on destination. I've got status on Alaska but I prefer to fly out of OAK and I'll book based on whomever has the best price and time combo for hops up and down the coast for the bay. Alaska kind of abandoned OAK when they bought Virgin, we lost most of our Hawaii flights and more than half our flights to Seattle and LA area. On the flip side, SWA has reduced the number of SEA flights too.
We have a small airport nearby I loved flying out of, its so easy security and walking wise. I moved an hour away from it recently when it used to be 20 min. It's all budget airlines though. I actually dont mind the budget airlines when I can find a good deal. In August I got a round trip to Orlando for $90!
I hope so! We don't have AUL booked yet (waiting for 7 month window) but crossed fingers all goes smoothly and tix go down a bit.
This is like our situation. We have a small airport but it offers cheap direct flights to Orlando, which is part of why we can justify going to Disney so often (and buying DVC haha!). Usually under $100 round trip for each. But the downside is there is usually only 1 flight there per day, if at all.
