For those who have Southwest travel booked over the next month, or so, and want to change your flight to travel at a later time, open your reservation and select the "change option." If your reservation falls within a certain time frame, you will see the following message:
It appears that the system will allow you to postpone your travel date for up to two months, at no additional cost. This option reminds me of how Southwest has been allowing changes to travel dates, due to the MAX 8 issues, except, instead of having to select a new travel date within two weeks, either way, of your original date, they are allowing about two months. Normally, when this type of offer is available, the offer only is valid for a few days, after the offer is posted.
Just follow the prompts to select your new travel date and confirm the change. The departure and arrival cities must remain the same as the original itinerary.
