SWA question about canceling a flight...

[KJSJpipe]

I got a bit over excited and booked my airfare wrong this morning.
I should have booked Friday morning and Monday night, what I actually booked was Monday morning and Monday night.
So now I know I can cancel the morning flight and rebook it for Monday. The question is how long is the credit good for? If by some miracle I have any credit left over from my April trip will it still be good in mid October?

Thanks!

Not sure if i'm understanding correctly ,but I think you want to know how to switch that first flight. You don't have to cancel, you can just go into your tickets online with your conf. numbers and click on that one to change it. No fees. I did this on my trip in may, cause a better time opened up for us!

The PP is right about changing your flight. Just go under "Travel Tools" then "Change Air Reservation" This way you keep the same confirmation number. As for any credit (Ticketless Travel Funds/TTF) you may end up with, they are good for 6 months from the date of purchase. So, if you purchased them today (01/21/2010) they will be good till 7/21/10.

From the SWA website: Ticketless Travel funds from previously unused reservations on Southwest Airlines are valid for 12 months from the original purchase date and may not be extended.

So yes, if your Friday morning flight is cheaper than the Monday morning flight you will be able to use the ticketless travel funds in Oct.

I would call SW. Some airlines have a 24 hour cancellation rule where you can get a full refund. That way you will not have to mess with the credit.
