No cancellation fees
First 2 bags free - limit 50#'s each.
No change fee- you would pay the difference in fare, if any.
There are no assigned seats, it is open seating. For information about boarding and boarding pass procedure, go to www.swa.com

One thing to keep in mind on change/cancellation is that any money returned to you on a non-refundable fare is in the form of a credit that must be used by the same traveler within 12 months of your original booking date.

That is true, travel has to be completed within one year of the original booking date.

You can get priority seating for $12.50 per person, each way with their Early Bird Check In. We tend to use this option since we travel with kids.

Early bird check in is NOT priority seating. Upgraded boarding is priority boarding and the cost is 40.00 per person per flight. http://www.blogsouthwest.com/video/easy-yes-please

What do I get?
AUTOMATIC CHECK-IN
Whether you choose to print your boarding pass the day before or just hours before the flight, your confirmed boarding position will be ready and waiting for you. Now you can print your boarding pass as your schedule allows.
BETTER BOARDING POSITION
We'll automatically check you in and assign your boarding position within 36 hours of your flight's departure - that's 12 hours before general boarding positions become available. While EarlyBird Check-In doesn't guarantee an A boarding position, it improves your seat selection options to help you get your favorite seat.
EARLIER ACCESS TO OVERHEAD BINS
Got bags? We've got room. By boarding earlier you'll get your pick of available overhead bin space.
