I just hope everyone is wearing their masks at the airport and on the plane. Good luck, I hope you get to go! I’m sure it will be lifted by then.My dilemma too. We fly out 9/7
One more bit of advice - make sure that the funds are linked to your DD’s RR account. You may need Southwest’s help to do that. I know how you can link a flight, whether or not it has yet been flown, but not funds, Sorry that I can’t offer more.So my oldest DD has some travel funds but not RR. If she becomes a RR member now, will she be able to convert them to RR when they start allowing this, or is it too late?
Quick question- I think I know the answer but wanted to ask the experts. We booked a trip in January and invited our neighbor boys to join us. We had planned on spending a week doing the Disney water parks in July. Clearly, that isn't happening, we switched to a week in Clearwater and have now decided we are going to postpone the trip. We paid for flights for 7 people (3 kids that aren't ours) if we cancel the credit would go in the name of the ticketed passenger correct? It wouldn't come as a total credit for future use. Meaning we would be out the 3 tickets for kids that aren't ours.
If southwest cancels or even changes my flight time i could get a full refund right?
We are scheduled to fly on July 10th. If I understand it correctly we are better off waiting until the last minute hoping that SW makes an adjustment or cancels than I am getting a credit correct?
I received an email last night and our flight home has been removed. We’ve been moved to another flight 2 hours earlier and still direct so it works for us.More September bookings, thru end of September, are now available for change w/o fare increase. The change window is 30 days. This offer normally only lasts about three days, from the time the offer becomes available; if you have an interest in changing your flight or travel date, it's always a good idea not to delay in making the change, before the ability to do so disappears.
Yes. My daughter has had a RR account since she was old enough that I was buying her her own ticket so I guess that would be 2 years old?Can a minor have a RR account? If we don’t go in Sept, it would be great if I could turn DGSs travel funds into points so anybody could use them. Assuming of course SWA is gonna get that up & running.
I've flown SW in May and June. Not many people were flying in May. On the plane, it depended upon the crew as to enforcement. In June, the requirement seemed to be enforced more. Regardless, many people were wearing them in flight. But there were always those few who would try to pull their mask down to their chin and so forth. One thing to keep in mind, you are allowed to bring food and drink aboard and do not have to wear masks while eating.Supposed to fly out of Bradley (CT) on 7/27 into MCO (hoping travel restriction is released by then). Wondering what the mask situation is at MCO. I believe they’re now required in Orange County but wondering if people are abiding by it at the airport. I’m not worried about Disney, I fee like they’ll be making sure people stick to keeping them on, so I’m mostly concerned about being in the airport and on the plane (Southwest) and people not complying.

As for the airport, not everyone wears their mask. The airports are not as crowded, so you can socially distance yourself if needed by moving to another seat. Most people were wearing masks while walking through the airport.
These were my experiences. YMMV
You can book reservations for anyone with your points though. If you wind up cancelling the flight, the points revert back to your account.While I have confidence that SW will eventually implement the ability to convert Travel Funds to points, be aware that points are still controlled by the account they sit in, and most importantly
Points used to book a flight CANNOT come from more than ONE account. You can't combine points.
You CAN transfer points from one account to another, but SW charges a $5 fee (real cash) per every 500 points transferred. There is also a minimum number of points (2000) that can be transferred, and points can only be transferred in 500 point increments. So pulling points together from several accounts, may become costly, and you may still be left with small amounts of points in each account that you may not be able to use when you want to.

We fly to DisneyWorld on the 19th---Do you believe the flights will be more crowded now and I should utilize early bird? There are five of us traveling...Also, I know they have the "no middle seat" policy---but if it's a family member, are you able to use the middle seat?
Southwest only is selling 2/3 of the normal capacity (leaving the middle seats open, unless a group traveling together wishes to sit together). You can try to search availability for your flights by looking for 8, which is the most you can book under one reservation. If it will allow you to book that number, it means that at least 8 seats are available; so, there would be at least 8 seats open, in addition to the 1/3 capacity blocked seats.We fly to DisneyWorld on the 19th---Do you believe the flights will be more crowded now and I should utilize early bird?
