I found this on a search recently and wanted to ask a follow up question on it - I guess my best bet would be to contact SWA customer service but I figured I'd check here. My father had to cancel his travel plans last minute as he was hospitalized and had to have an emergency surgery to clip a brain aneurysm. All this happened within the timeframe of the travel plans.
