Southwest Air - How do I?

[markey]

Just checked and my tickets went down $10 x 6 = $60 savings. How do I get the cheaper fare/vocher or credit?

Click on the "Travel Center" and click on "Change Air Reservation" and follow the prompts. If the lower fares exist for your flights, you just choose them. As I remember, it's pretty effortless. For $60 though, keep in mind the credit must be used for TRAVEL within one year of initialy BOOKING date. (e.g. if you book in July for a november trip and then change the reservation and end up with a credit, you must use that credit for a trip the is completed before July.) Maybe make sure you can use the credit. Some people have been successfull in getting refunds, but that isn't always the case.

If the previous poster's method does not work, you will have to cancel and rebook the flights. Time consuming yes, but, sometimes that is the way it has to be done. Good luck.

I tried to change to the lower price this morning for the same flight, and the system wouldn't let me do it because it said I hadn't changed my flight. I had to cancel and then rebook, but that worked fine. Apparently it only works through change air reservation if you're changing a flight.

Good to know. I've changed a few times, but I do admit, sometime I change flight times/days to get lower prices. Plus I would imagine that maybe if you original ticketed under a "special" fare and were changing to "Internet one way" maybe it would let you change then. Glad it worked out for you to rebook.
