Customer Relations may be able to issue a refund when the flight is cancelled by Southwest, however they will not do so when the customer cancels the flight. This is the policy as it's being enforced right now. This may change at some point due to the unique circumstances we are all in. Advice for anyone who may need to cancel a flight that includes EarlyBird Check-In: -- Wait to see if Southwest cancels your flight. If so, you can receive a full refund, including EarlyBird Check-In fees. Since you can cancel as late as 10 minutes prior to scheduled departure and still not be considered a no-show, my recommendation would be to wait until at least the day of travel. -- If on the day of travel Southwest hasn't canceled your flight, go online and change your flight (do not cancel) to any future flight that is the same or lower fare. This will preserve your non-refundable EBCI fees. -- Once things have settled down, hopefully in a few months, you can rebook travel to accommodate your schedule. There is also the possibility that policy changes and or helpful expiration date exceptions may be in place at that time.
