Woke up early to check in for flight this morning- when the time came it said "Airport check in required. Unable to complete the check in process." Online it just says there is an error.

Called- wait time 77 minutes so I left callback number. Also in the chat queue. I do have the promotional companion pass, I don't know if that is the problem?

ETA see I'm not the only one per a FB Southwest group.

ETA2: Saw on twitter to keep retrying. Didn't do it continuously, but did try at the right time I guess, got A41 at 1 hour 20 minutes after.

My flights never got booked but they took all of my flights and gift cards.
It kept stating there was an issue with my credit card but it shows multiple charges went through and then immediately refunded except for 1 time where I was charged without a refund.

So card was charged.
GC was depleted
Flight Credits gone
and NO Ticket!

Southwest flights dropped for 3/5/26 - 4/6/26 at 7:46 EST 8/14/26

I was stalking the site at that time and logged in immediately hoping for flights from MKE to MCO for the week before Easter when our schoolteacher daughter has her break.

The lower class fares were all gone and fares for the other classes would produce a round trip cost of $1300-$1500.

The week before the round trip is about $450.

I know from experience that spring break is extremely busy and fares are usually a little higher than normal. But, unless something changes we will be going at a different time, even if it's during the summer, which we usually avoid like the plague.

Maybe price out another airline….not like SWA is such a bargain anymore.

We are going the same time frame and yes they are high.
It is $200 more per person RT to go first class on Delta but then that is not direct.

At every opening there are always some flights from some cities that open without the lowest fares. Your flight most likely was 1 of them today. Keep checking. They always show up eventually.
