Post all SW questions concerns, etc. here...

Yep. September 7 flight change here too. Leaving an hour earlier, but at least it’s not a park day for us.

 

[LadybugsMum]

I just got the change email too

my direct flight from RDU to FLL now has a plane change. It’s the earliest flight available snd no change options. Boo!

When was your flight? I'm concerned about our Dec flight from RDU to MCO as there are only 2 non stops that day.

 

[Erica Ladd]

September 11 6am ish. There are now NO nonstops available

Arriving on 8/30 from Philly for a work training conference which starts on 9/1. I added a couple days to treat myself. I am worried sick that my 7am flight will be changed/canceled. I am trying to use every free second to enjoy the parks. Has anyone booked a back up flight as insurance? I know it would be a waste of money if not needed, but Spirit has a 730 flight out of PHL for only $42 right now. Would I been crazy to book that? Ugh! This will be the 4th time this trip has been scheduled and I just want to stop stressing over it. It’s a solo trip so I’m only talking about one ticket.

Also while this was happening I booked 2 more flights to BNA and they just won’t show up on the app. I got confirmation emails but nothing on the app. They must be busy making changes tonight!!

I might have tried to book a back up flight but one of the reasons we are taking this trip is to reach A list status so it would defeat the point for me

I am worried about my Oct. flight out of Philly too. I didn’t think to check spirit. I have never used them

Just a word of warning if you are thinking of double-booking the same itinerary on Southwest, reserving different flights for the same travel date. Southwest has been known to cancel one of the extra flights, without warning or notification.

Yes. It’s their policy. You cannot have 2 flights on the same day to or from the same cities (obviously connecting flights, even if booked as separate flights are allowed). They definitely will cancel one.

But what if the second flight was with a different carrier, not SW? Was looking at a cheap Spirit flight. How would SW even know another flight was booked, I totally get if it was on their system but it wouldn’t be

Sorry, I thought you were booking a back up, second flight on SWA. I’d imagine a flight on another carrier would be fine.

 

[maleficent8]

Me too- just got an email from SWA that my non-stop PIT to MCO on September 9 has been changed and now there’s only one other non-stop option much later in the day to change to. And now all flights that day are $500 plus. It’s the earliest so we’ll make it work but I’m sure it’ll be a packed flight. I’ll definitely keep an eye on it since they changed our May flights three times.

 

[MinnieMSue]

Our southwest flight from MCO was cancelled - it was flying out at 8:25pm and we were moved to a 5:15 flight. That means we have to leave MK shortly after our Capture Your Momrent session and I don’t want to do that. I plan to change to a flight the next morning but am on hold to add a day to our Disney resort first. No idea how long I will be in hold or when the call center closes. It is 11:30pm eastern now. Then I will modify our flight to the next day

 

[focusondisney]

Our Sept 9th 7:25 nonstop from Buffalo was changed too. It is still nonstop but now 6:10 am. We now arrive at 8:45. I guess at least it’s stil nonstop. Waiting to see what happens with our return flight.

 

[Lsdolphin]

I see my sept, flight is on 737 Max 8...when did SWA bring them back? Do people feel safe flying on this plane?

 

[Avery&Todd]

UGH - we fly nonstop from RDU to MCO on Nov 10th....crossing my fingers - we have random non-stops for both flights but there are only 1 each morning - and if they cancel our non-stop leaving RDU, the next flight doesn't arrive for 3 more hours - and that's a park day for us..

I've already told DH that if SW cancels/changes our flights to something horrible that I'm cancelling and going with Delta....even though the flights I would want with them are $900 for the two of us..

 

[Leigh L]

Ok here we go again...just got an email from SWA that my non-stop BWI to MCO 9/7 has been changed there are only a few options offered to change to. They have deleted the 3 flights that fell between my flight and the current next non stop flight! So looks like I will be on a packed flight for sure...I had picked the earliest flight thinking it would be less crowded. My flight number changed but actual time only changed by 10 minutes. I’m keeping the flight just sorry it’s going to be more crowded.

I'm sorry . Glad your time didn't get too screwed up and hopefully this should be their set schedule.

It's crazy how many flights SW has at BWI to MCO and vice versa. Right now our mid-September MCO-BWI flight has 12 flights scheduled. I'm just waiting for the change, there is no way SW is flying that many direct flights. I took the cheapest one and waiting to see where the chips fall. I'm open-ended for any time in the afternoon or evening and figuring something will go.

We have Spirit credits expiring in September and I still need to book that flight but they keep canceling too. Originally, didn't have plans for MCO but it's clear the Chicago trip to see DS on this airline wasn't happening since it was canceled 3x with no viable options and I ended up on United to see him (So Boo Bash it is )

My Sept. 7th flight went from 12 available non-stop flights to 8.

 

[emmabelle]

Yep. September 7 flight change here too. Leaving an hour earlier, but at least it’s not a park day for us.

Our Sept 7th out of MCO to MHT was changed from 3:20pm to 10:15am. So much for going to AK on our final morning.

If it wasn't just a 4 night getaway it wouldn't be such a bummer...

 

[cmarsh31]

I may have booked both SW and JetBlue flight for the 50th (9/30‐10/3). I wasn't risking losing out because one of them canceled my flight! I almost canceled tge duplicates yesterday but hearing that we're back to this fun...

Both are on points... so I'll cancel one, eventually.
