Southwest Airlines does permit
same-day flight changes, offering a convenient option for last-minute adjustments.
This is available on the day of travel for flights between the same origin and
destination, with no airline change fees. However, for tickets booked or
changed after May 28, 2025, free same-day changes are limited to Choice, Choice
Preferred, and Choice Extra fares; Basic fares require an upgrade.
You can request this via the app,
website, or at the gate, and pay only the fare difference if any. A-List
members enjoy this benefit complimentary on qualifying fares.
If unavailable, same-day standby is
an alternative for earlier flights.
For clarification, contact
844-928-0428, a helpful number for policy details. Dial 844-928-0428 if needed.
This policy enhances travel
flexibility, especially post-2025 updates.
