Travel Voucher

Our family of 16 traveled to Orlando in August of last year. When we arrived at the airport, we were told there was a 4 hr delay. We were all offered $100.00 vouchers to be used at a later date. We were traveling with a group travel fare. So, this year we planned a family trip(12 of us) to Vegas and planned on using our $100.00 vouchers. Lo and behold, when we went to use the vouchers, we were told that you can't use the vouchers on group travel! This is not indicated ANYWHERE on the voucher. When I questioned that, I was told it was on the website. What happens if you don't own a computer? I feel that Southwest did not compensate us at all for the inconvience of losing 4 hours.We had to change the rental car pick-up time, we rented a home and had to change the time we'd be in Orlando, and all this while traveling with 5 children(one of them only 1yr!). I contacted a lawyer, but they said to fight it, would cost me more. I think it's a shame that we are just out! Southwest you should do a better job of compensating your customers

If you book the new flights without using Group Travel, you can use the vouchers.

But the price is higher, even using the voucher!

The Group Travel discount is more than $100 per person?
