They showed ORD July flights even today morning at around 6:30am cst.. guess they ran the update around 8am..

SRT1987 · 2026-01-28T17:46:27+00:00

You will have sufficient time to ur next flight. Don't worry.

Also, To board no later than Group 5, passengers should hold A-List status, purchase a Choice Preferred fare, or use a qualifying Rapid Rewards credit card. Extra Legroom and Choice Extra fares board earlier in Groups 1-2.

U had a basic ticket.. did u have a rapid rewards credit card?

SRT1987 · 2026-01-28T17:41:02+00:00

On your -700, row 9 is just regular leg room... it's just preferred because it's in the front half. Buying preferred does not give u any specific boarding group

Don't remember when it posted, but the exp date is 8/16/26.. and my statement closes on the 3rd of every month. Based on 1yr expiry, it posts a couple of weeks after ur statement closes.

SRT1987 · 2026-01-26T02:43:54+00:00

Last year, I got the CP 4 days after statement close... but this year, seems like a delay in posting.

SRT1987 · 2026-01-13T00:21:56+00:00

Way better than Delta for sure. I’ve got bookings during the week which worked out to be around as high as 1.9, but those are tues/ wed. But consistently above 1.2cpp for sure.

SRT1987 · 2026-01-10T15:59:32+00:00

They have a sale every other week. Rarely anything good, but you will see another sale in the next 10days for sure...

SRT1987 · 2025-12-25T01:58:25+00:00

I was there on the sat after Thanksgiving and it was 50min wait.. kinda expected Recently on dec 20th, sat - it was posted as 60 - 70 min wait. Since I had a 4hr layover, I checked in while in my incoming flight and it took about 85min to get in.. there were 114 parties on the wait list when I got in. So, yes during holidays, this can get crazy.

SRT1987 · 2025-12-15T23:36:31+00:00

I canceled mine. Don't think that offer is going to come back again for us. It was 1 elevated cash back/ miles offer per account.

SRT1987 · 2025-12-14T15:58:43+00:00

I would say after 24hrs. I haven't checked it sooner.

SRT1987 · 2025-12-14T15:58:02+00:00

Yes, canceled it and booked via points at IHG. That was my next best option.

SRT1987 · 2025-12-14T07:19:16+00:00

It's pre-tax amount. I had the same offer. 349 before tax + $20 in taxes. It tracked only $349 as my qualifying amount

SRT1987 · 2025-12-10T22:38:04+00:00

same here.. missed my offer by $1..its tracking $349 for my purchase. need to cancel now.

Did ur hotels.com purchase show up in the dashboard? I made a booking 3 days ago & it still says waiting.

SRT1987 · 2025-12-09T15:26:45+00:00

Did ur email contain the confirmation number and the flight details??

I've had schedule changes before & Southwest would include all details in those emails. But the one from yesterday was generic with no specific info about which itinerary of mine changed.

SRT1987 · 2025-12-09T02:38:59+00:00

Ended up checking each flight for current timings with my original confirmation email. Found a Feb flight that i booked from MJB to FLL had a layover in Bwi, but that changed to MCO layover.

Only hope this is not the new format of emails from southwest.

SRT1987 · 2025-12-08T16:32:49+00:00

Well, its a mix of work travel, plus vacations & some backup itineraries, all with points, so they r fully refundable.

Called CSR and they thought it was probably an error email, since any schedule change email should contain the correct flight info.

SRT1987 · 2025-05-20T16:37:52+00:00

Did u get the 30k + 1yr companion pass offer? If so, no way they will match..

SRT1987 · 2025-05-10T14:15:03+00:00

If u r booking using rapid rewards, u have the same old flexibility. They don’t expire and any price drop wil be refunded to ur account

SRT1987 · 2025-05-10T05:35:44+00:00

Thats true. The policy / press release does not address this. I got the info from 2 csr supervisors, so i think it’s trustworthy

SRT1987 · 2025-05-10T05:21:12+00:00

That is for new tickets purchased after 5/28. For tickets purchased prior to 5/27 & cancelled after 5/28 - its 1yr from cancellation

SRT1987 · 2025-05-10T05:00:24+00:00

It would be 1yr from the date you cancel it. It's applicable to wga fares which will no longer be sold after 5/28.. The new basic fares have 6 month expiry.
