Southwest Ticket Prices Slashed, How Can You Save

One of the best perks about flying with Southwest is that there are no change fees. In fact, you can change your flight up to 10 minutes before departure with no penalty. Amazing. Compare that to other airlines that will charge you up to $200 per ticket when you change. Crazy! 

Now with the threat of the Corona Virus, many airlines are waiving or canceling their change fees. BUT if you want to still fly or your flight not scheduled until summer, you might want to check to see if you can save some money. We have heard stories lately about prices dropping $100 per day for some flights. 

Here's how you do it on Southwest:

1. Click on my account
2. Click on change flight located just below the flight details

3. Select the flight you would like to change, don't worry, you can look without changing anything.

Love this! Southwest will show you how much more or less the flight will cost you if you make the change. 

4. Choose your new flight and select the new flight. Southwest will credit the points back to your account immediately. If you paid with a credit card, you will get a refund for the difference. These funds will be held as travel funds that you can use at a later date. They expire one year from the date of the purchase. 

Bottom line, when everyone is panicking, you can find awesome deals. So check those Southwest flights you already have planned and maybe book a few more!
