So nice to wake up to my wife asking me if I opened the SW email from Thursday.....my reply was no and that's when it started....now we aren't very frequent fliers of SW
as the other carriers JB and DL serve us very well. During the holidays especially during the Christmas/New Years time SW for the most part has given us the best bang for the buck.
They get me down and back from NY to MCO or TPA for sometimes prices that are so ridiculously cheap how could I say no. Take this year I purchased 4 non stop tickets NY to TPA and back Dec.23 coming back Jan.3 for $868!!! I get to pick my seat (we have always sat together rarely pay early bird) 2 check bags for free (yes we are the family with too many bags to count going through the airport) and always a non stop flight. I have read the stories you all talk about being inconvenienced with changing flights and the problems getting from one place to another and said thank God not me. Well it has finally happened to me so I guess I'm part of the family now. The major issue is like everyone else I paid for non stop and getting lay over and add insult to injury changing planes. Now my girls are spoiled I'm the first one to admit and when they find out I will not hear the end of it. I will hear Dad half the price half the quality, why do you have to be so cheap, this is why I want to fly JB or DL. I told my wife don't say anything to them as I don't want to hear it from now until we leave. Kids no matter what age just don't get it. My big one is in college$$$ my little one will be turning 16 so car, party etc... They just don't understand the value of the dollar. If the old man can save a buck here or there I'm going to do it. I'm just thrilled my wife told me she can't go on the flight because work now won't give her the day. She needs to take a late flight so lucky her she gets to fly on DL that night and I don't have to hear it from her. Wait till my offspring hear that they will definitely split in half.
So my question....to all the veteran SW fliers there is still a nonstop flight showing available later on Dec.23 can I change even though its way more than what I originally paid without spending more or roll the dice and maybe that my original flight goes back to non stop? Has that ever happened in the past?
You can change your flight to any available one with no increase in fare. You should be able to do that online, but may need to call. Either way it's simple.
