Can I Cancel a Southwest Flight Without Penalty? central.xero.com

Yes, you can cancel a Southwest flight without penalty under certain conditions. Southwest Airlines offers a flexible cancellation policy compared to many other carriers. If you cancel your flight within 24 hours of booking and the departure is at least 7 days away, you are typically eligible for a full refund or a travel credit.

For cancellations made after this window, Southwest generally allows you to cancel without a penalty for non-refundable tickets. However, the original fare paid will be applied as a travel credit for future use. This policy provides flexibility, though it’s important to check the specific terms associated with your ticket and any changes in policies.
