Thanks for the heads up! Didn't save any money but we were able to change to an earlier flight going to WDW. Originally we were scheduled to arrive in Orlando at 4:50PM but now we will get there at 2:50 PM.

If it goes down how to do get the credit?
This is the first time I am thinking of flying South west.

You get it in Southwest credits. If your flight goes down $20, then you'll have $20 to use towards your next flight. It has to be within a year, though, and I've heard they're going to starting making you use credits for the same person who originally was on the ticket. I now have a $160 Southwest credit with no more travel plans... now I'm trying to gather up enough $ for another Disney trip

 

[elayjosh]

Thanks for the info.
Do you need to book within a year or actaully use it within a year?

I believe you have to book within a year, but don't quote me on that. I think, though, that if you book a flight past the year date and then cancel, the funds will still expire one year from the original purchase. (So I bought my tickets on 9/11/10, so they credits expire on 9/11/11. If on, say, 8/20/11 I use them to book a flight on 10/15/11, then cancel, they will still expire 9/11/11.)

So my SW flights have now gone up if i try to book 4 tickets but are lower if I try to book only 2.
The question is weather to wait or book now.
Has anyone ever seen them add more of the lower price flights?

My dates are Dec 16-Dec. 30

You do have to fly before the credits expire. Sometimes they open more of the lower priced fares in the last few weeks but you can't always count on that happening. Southwest loves to keep us guessing.

Just to make a correction the credit is actually from the original day of purchase not the day of change so the credit will expire one year from the day you purchased the original ticket. This is a draw back for those that make their reservations several months in advanced and then realize that the ticket prices go down. It happened to me last year I had purchased tickets to go down for Flower and Garden in January of that year. Later on SWA released Ding fares and I saved 180 bucks or roughly 90 bucks per ticket and had to use it up before January of this year with out losing it. It helped pay for my tickets for Disapaloza last year but I was not able to do the Ding fares because I would have lost the savings.

So if your flight price goes down they automatically give you credit? How soon and where do you see the credit? My flight for Feb went down by $24. Can I use that credit to get EB checkin?

Thanks!

You have to actually go in and change flights (essentially change your flight for the same one at the lower price) and then you will have a credit. Unfortunately the credit cannot be used for EBCI, I tried and was denied!

 

[Anna114]

Thanks for letting me know but my good news is our's went up $20 per person. That pays for early bird check-in whoop!

 

[JUDYKN]

Thanks for the info!! That was easy to change and get credit.
