You could try calling reservations and they should be able to look up your canceled flight confirmation number if you provide them with your credit card number on the phone feel free to call them at 1800-435-9792 and if they can't help you or are unable to find it I would call customer relations at 855-234-4654 and they will be able to help you!   hope this helps Blake  ...

To use credit from a canceled flight you would first need the confirmation number from the flight which you canceled.   you then can call southwest  go online and go through the booking process and on the payment screen will see a place to apply travel funds there you will enter your confirmation number and first and last name on the confirmation number it should then apply note the booking date of the original canceled flight you had will be the expiration date of this ticket so if you booked that ticket in May of 2016 you have until May of this year to use those funds and complete travel compared to if you booked with no credits you would have a year from the date in which you book. Also the name(s) of the people on the canceled reservation have the credit and it can't be transferred so they must fly and if the reservation you book is say $70 and you old reservation was $100 the remainder of $30 will stay with that old confirmation number and the expiration date will remain the same.   If you have any further questions or need additional assistance feel free to let me know or you can call southwest reservations at 800-435-9792   hope this helps!

If you buy early bird you will be checked in automatically 36 hours before you flight and you can check in at any point starting at the 24 hour mark    if you choose not to buy early bird you must wait until 24 hours before your flight to check in so if your flight is at 3pm on the 12th then the earliest you can check in on the 11th is 3PM. You can check in online up until 1 hour before flight time I believe but you will want to either check in as close to the 24 hours mark (3PM in this case) as possible or buy early bird check in and you could just print your reserved boarding pass position at your convience (starting at 3PM on the 11th in this case) if you want to add early bird you will need to do it at least 36 hours before flight time    hope this helps!

In this case you would lose your early bird because being the flight is tomorrow and earlier those people may be checked in already and the early bird people from the flight WOULD be checked in.    If you change a flight with early bird and there is at least 36 hours before the new flight that you changed to then early bird would transfer but being the flight is tomorrow it won't transfer but you could pay $30-$40 at the ticket counter to get A1-A15 if available if you don't get an A boarding pass    hope this helps and happy travels!

Hi there   @LindseyD is correct the best things to do is sign up for the click N save emails and to check out the low fare calendar if your dates are flexible.   another thing I have noticed is most sales start on Tuesdays so i recommend you look on Tuesdays or Wednesday's.   Just a heads up the schedule for August (until the 14th of August) will open up on January 5th (that date is subject to change) but I recommend looking on that date and you might find a great deal!   hope this helps  Blake ...
