Cancelling a Southwest flight without facing a penalty is possible, especially if you act quickly. Southwest Airlines offers a flexible policy where you can cancel your flight within 24 hours of booking for a full refund, provided your flight is at least 7 days away.
For cancellations beyond this initial period, Southwest allows you to receive a travel credit for the full amount of the original fare. This policy applies to both refundable and non-refundable tickets, making it easier to manage changes without incurring extra fees. Always review your fare’s terms for specific details.
