Why is wanna get away unavailable

Hope that helps explain how seating on SWA flights work. Thanks for reading! Have flown SW about 15 times to California and never disappoint. Using points is a breeze to change not chancel flights. If you are changing a flight due to decrease in price, do not cancel, but change. Just remember to always check your boarding pass to make sure if you have precheck that it shows up on the boarding pass.

The next time we used the Skycab and he checked to make sure. He had to go back in the long line for regular security while she got right threw in Precheck line.

Good reminders, Gail. Thank you. Very true about checking boarding passes. Checking to make sure they have the accurate information on them is a great habit, no matter the airline.

I rarely ever fly so hoping I made the right choice for my husband and I. I was going to purchase travel insurance afterwards, but not sure that would help with this sort of ticket arrangement. Should I go ahead and purchase anyway or would that be just a waste of money?

If I purchase a Wanna get Away ticket to fly non stop to Austin from Lubbock will I still get to choose my boarding class 24 hours in advance? Hi Shelli, Sorry I read all the comments but still a little confused. I need to make sure she will not get bumped off this flight as she will be trying to get to a location at a certain time.

Also, when I book it and pay for it — the price will not change? I have read the terms but still it is not clear about the fare class limitations. I am not concerned with points for this. I just want to make sure when I purchase this ticket she will get where she is going and back again. Thanks for your input. Even if the price does go up after you purchase the ticket, you will not have to pay the difference. Hope that helps. Let me know if you still have questions. Hi Shelli— Thanks for this informative article!

It is not a standby situation. Glad you found the article helpful. Any other questions, let me know. So just to make sure i am clear on this before i book. You DO get a seat on the plane. The term standby implies you may or may not get a seat. Hope that helps clarify. Hi Robert, Great question.

I had to cancel a long anticipated trip for my family last October booked in February due to an exacerbation of my illness and when I went to rebook this week for August I could not because I had just up until July 2 to use the funds and then it would be reduced reimbursement.

I lose my rewards flight first time I ever used the points. Been flying with SW for 20 years to Vegas.
