We fly so seldom.....a few questions. 1) Family of 4 making a round trip flight. Can we easily, without losing money or paying extra, change the return date for some of the family after we have already arrived at our destination? Assuming we find a flight? Or if we have to pay extra any idea what it might cost? 2) It will be between Oakland and San Deigo, (don't know if that makes a difference)? Should I book the tickets early, now, and or check everyday for special offers to get a good deal? A friend said prices don't change that much depending on the airline or where you're going so that shouldn't be an issue? 3) About a month ago I posted a question here, and received a very good reply. Now I can't find the quetion/reply? Is there a way to find earlier questions I asked? We are flexible with the departure and return dates. I just now saw how to sign up for e-mail notification about special deals so that probably answers my second question?

Thanks so much. Sould I purchase three "wanna get away" tickets at whatever price I find? Then purchase one ticket using my points for the maybe passenger and would be able to cancel that one ticket anytime without repreurcussions? (If we cancel the one ticket we certainly would know several weeks ahead of the flight.)

We fly Southwest about once a year so don't understand a lot of stuff! I signed up for rapid rewards but don't even understand that? I think I have 3,280 points? But I don't think I have ever used it. Or even know how, when, if, to use it. I simply want to book a round trip for my family of four for early July within California. However there is a possibility one of us won't be able to make the trip. I assume??? if start looking now I can get a good rate, find some low deals. But then will be stuck with one round trip ticket of one member can't go? I have read about cancelling a ticket but was kind of confused about the replies.
