Hassle Free Refunds for Fare Drops

Q. I just booked a flight to Chicago from Buffalo with Southwest for travel Sep. 16 to 20. I got it at a cost of 179.40 (including taxes). Now I see I could get it for a lesser price of $118. Is it possible to get refund for the difference?

A. As long as you’re traveling on the same flights and dates, Southwest will refund you the difference in the form of a voucher, good for travel up to a year from the date of the original purchase. JetBlue and Alaska also have this policy, but unfortunately most other domestic airlines will deduct $150 from any fare drop refund they provide to consumers.

This is not true. With Southwest you can change to any date or time you want. If a flight earlier or later in the day is cheaper and you want to take it, by all means change it! Southwest will give you a travel credit for the difference applied to your itinerary. However, JetBlue and Alaska will charge for any changes outside your original flights.

We think Southwest is the best. My husband travels to Texas every month and he drives 2 hours just to catch a Southwest flights.

And this would be one of the reasons we love Southwest so much!
