Southwest question

[MortimerMouse75]

I really didn't think my southwest flights would get any cheaper but I checked today just for the heck of it and sure enough...both flights are $30 cheaper. I purchased early bird check in....if I take the cheaper flight will it cancel out the early bird check in?

I think that as long as you change your flight, the EBCI stays with the reservation. When I did a 'change flight' a few days ago because my flight was cheaper, the reservation number remained the same. It should not cancel EBCI. But, since I never purchase EBCI I cannot speak from experience.

Just make sure you do not cancel and rebook. You have to CHANGE

Here's a thread I found about it from a couple of years ago - there are probably more recent ones, but this was one of the first I came across when googling

I have done this before and ECBI stays put.

Change, don't cancel, and you will be fine (I have done it twice since I booked a few weeks ago, AAMOF!)
