Nowadays I usually draw the rebook line around $20. Any less than that is not worth losing my EB spot and having to keep track of the credit.

If you log into your SWA account and click on the flight, you'll see 'change'. Click on that, select that flight and then you'll rebook the exact same flight. You'll see what the credit amount will...

Did you get all rebooked and get a credit?

If you buy early bird and rebook, you get booted back to the end of the early bird line. Early bird is assigned in chronological order so the earlier you buy early bird, the better your seat number....

I guess I'm slightly wrong on this. Just read SWA lost $250M last year on fuel hedges. However Delta lost $450M and United lost $600M. So SWA is better by comparison lol

We're booked mid Oct for Sedona and Vegas. Maybe some day.....

Yup, just change flight and pick the exact same flight. You can see the price/point difference before you are committed to the change.

Chris is right, you have to keep tracK of the confirmation...

That's great. I'm in Columbus and its $129 to Vegas in the fall. SWA does a good job of locking up oil and fuel contracts.

I rebooked both ends of our flights for our fall Vegas trip and got back 11,000 points.

I rebooked on Thu for Oct and got back 6000 pts. Good price last week.

Southwest continues with it's inexplicable pricing schemes. Check this out:

Aug 5 Columbus to Vegas $249 on the 5 pm non-stop
Aug 5 Columbus to Denver, change planes in Vegas $98. On the same 5...

If you are a SWA Rapid Rewards member, you can get a one time 1100 pt bonus by using Lyft at McCarran thru 2016.

FYI- SWA is raising Early Bird price to $15 starting March 14.

I booked Frontier to Denver in June.

SWA fares are getting ridiculous, they keep raising prices while the price of fuel keeps falling. WTF?

I was checking into that too. Looks like they only fly 4 times a week to PHL so would have to work around that.

I may book a RT with my daughter to Denver in early June because it's only $69 each...

Wow, I hadn't heard that. Thanks for the heads up. I'll check it out.

I haven't checked other airlines to cities.

I'm so far in the tank with SWA. Currently, we are sitting on $100 worth of credits from SWA. There is little chance of getting Linda to travel to...

I've started keeping an eye on it, but right now it's $660 for both of us to fly RT. If there's a decent price drop as it gets closer, then we'll start looking at whether or not we could do it.

SWA games:

I can fly from Columbus to Vegas for $155 if I change planes in Oakland. If I want to take that same flight to Oakland and not go to Vegas, it's $193.

If I want to take a non-stop...

CPT, How about a RT from Vegas to Phoenix or Reno for a day or two over Thanksgiving?

With EB got A44 A45. Flights from Columbus to Vegas are always packed so I'm sure over 1/3 buy EB

We did early bird, will find out this afternoon. Leaving tomorrow!

This is the stuff that drives me crazy. It now takes 800 more points to take a non-stop despite it being a cheaper flight. SWA is slowly creeping toward the other airlines business models...
...

To use your credit, you'll be asked to put in the confirmation that is linked to the credits so keep track of it. Maybe send yourself an email with the info.

If you go to SWA fares calendar view, there's a button that will toggle from $ to points.

7000 pts currently offsets about a $129 in airfare. If you're close, you can always buy points.
