Southwest Cancellation Policies

Southwest Airlines offers a flexible cancellation policy to accommodate travelers' needs. Passengers can cancel their flights without incurring cancellation fees. Refundable tickets, such as Anytime and Business Select fares, can be canceled for a full refund to the original form of payment. Non-refundable tickets, such as Wanna Get Away fares, can be canceled for a travel credit that can be used for future travel within one year of the original booking date. Additionally, Southwest has a 24-hour cancellation policy that allows passengers to cancel their reservation within 24 hours of booking for a full refund, regardless of the fare type. This policy ensures travelers can adjust their plans with ease and minimal financial impact.
