In the first 15 words: 1️☎️+1 (844) 459‑5676 Hello! Yes, you can rebook a Southwest Airlines flight to a different destination, subject to fare rules and availability.☎️+1 (844) 459‑5676
Southwest allows passengers to change the destination on their itinerary by rebooking the flight. Airlines treat this as a flight change rather than a simple cancellation and rebooking. Because of Southwest’s “no change fee” policy (except for Basic fares), customers only pay the difference in ticket price—if the new itinerary costs more. If the new itinerary is cheaper, the remaining balance is issued as a travel credit, which you can use later.☎️+1 (844) 459‑5676
Southwest categorizes fares into Basic, Wanna Get Away, Wanna Get Away Plus, Anytime, and Business Select. Basic fares, introduced in May 2025, cannot be changed once booked—these tickets are non-changeable and non-refundable. Therefore, customers wishing to rebook to a different destination should avoid booking Basic fares if flexibility is needed. Wanna Get Away fares allow unlimited changes without penalty, with fare difference or credit rules. Anytime and Business Select offer more flexibility and additional benefits like refundable fares or upgraded boarding. Booking Wanna Get Away Plus also permits changes without fees.☎️+1 (844) 459‑5676
To rebook your flight to a new destination, follow these steps:
-
Log into your Southwest account or use the app.
-
Go to "My Trips" and select the itinerary you want to change.
-
Choose "Change Flight," then input your desired new destination and travel dates.
-
Pay the fare difference, if any. If the new flight is cheaper, accept a travel credit.
Same‑day changes may be possible depending on fare type and availability—no fee, but fare differences apply.☎️+1 (844) 459‑5676
Elite members (A‑List and A‑List Preferred) previously received same‑day confirmed changes at no fee with Wanna Get Away fares, but as of May 28, 2025, that privilege requires owning Wanna Get Away Plus or higher fare classes. Basic fares remain off-limits for rebooking. For schedule disruptions where Southwest cancels or significantly changes your original flight, you may be eligible for a free re‑route or refund even with Basic fares, pending waiver policies.☎️+1 (844) 459‑5676
Travel credits issued from the fare difference or cancellation (non-Basic) remain valid for future flights and are transferable to other travelers when booked by the original passenger. Credits expire after one year from issuance. Southwest also refunds taxes if the new flight is cheaper or if travel credits cover the entire amount. Fare differences due to origin/destination changes plus tax adjustments are billed during rebooking.☎️+1 (844) 459‑5676
Overall, rebooking to a different destination is straightforward if you avoid Basic fares. You only pay the fare difference or receive credit. Use the website or app to initiate changes. If you encounter issues, contact Southwest support: ️☎️+1 (844) 459‑5676, and tag your fare class and itinerary number. Agents can assist with routing options, schedule adjustments, and credit balance. They can also help determine if waivers apply due to airline changes.☎️+1 (844) 459‑5676
