I didn't know about the Plus fare until after we booked, so we didn't get that. I think that was a great decision to hedge your bets. If you think of it, come back and post your experience. Have a great trip! On SWA you should be able to cancel your flight and rebook with the PLUS fare. Or am I missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do have to pay the current rate however (sometimes I get a credit back if it dropped). I use this (very easy to do) online, even for rebooking the same flight to get a lower fare. SWA has always been great for this. If you get a credit I think you have one year to use it, so I try to book using points as they just go back into your account without a time limit to using (except for the security fee and taxes which still has a limit).

Thanks for this. I've never been able to do anything with my tix online with SW, there's always a problem. Usually on their end but I'll give it a try. We used most of our points last year, so have to build them up again before they will be useful. If I try to rebook online, will it tell me the cost before I finalize it? (Having never successfully completed this process, I'm still new to it!) Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, when I have rebooked, it tells me the extra cost or credit before I finalize the transaction. It really is very quick and easy to do. Much better than other airlines IMO.
