I am in the same situation as many of the other commenters with a large amount of pandemic related cancelled flight travel voucher funds and rewards travel points.
There was an offer to exchange the cancelled flight travel funds to reward points, but I was anticipating the flights resuming from / to SJO which never occurred, and I missed the deadline for the exchange option.
So basically I have expiring pandemic related funds that need to be used or lost. The only reason that I invested in the SW ecosystem was for the flights to and from CR.
I am not looking for an exact date when flights will resume, but as others have asked for anything to indicate that it is the companies intent to resume flights to CR. Even a broad time frame would be helpful, such as within the year 2021 or 2022 for me to decide how to plan my CR travel for the remainder of this year or next year.
It would also be nice to offer the exchange of pandemic related cancelled flight travel fund vouchers for reward points once again. Or to extend the expiration date further for the pandemic related cancelled flight travel fund voucher.
No airline is going to guess about future routes. Why? Guesses turn into assurances in people's minds. So if a guess turns out to be wrong, some people are going to scream
"But you TOLD us it was going to happen."
That's why airlines don't guess about things that have not been decided.
After it's decided, the airline will let you know.
SW does allow people to convert expired travel funds into vouchers.
a) It must be done within 6 months of the expiration date
b) vouchers are good for 6 months
c) vouchers may be used by anyone
d) current cost is $100 / travel fund
Have more than 1 travel fund? Use up to three of them them to buy a ticket. Then cancel that ticket, and you've turned up to three $100 fees into one $100 fee Do it again, and you've got up to a 6 for 1.
It is pretty easy to find $1500+ next day travel Business Select RTs if you have lots of travel funds.
