I have a roundtrip flight SAN- BOS - SAN in July/August. I received an automated message that my return flight had changed times, flight number, everything. I was automatically assigned crazy routing that would have caused me to miss a full day of my trip. (Afternoon departure became morning, one stop became two stop and a 4 hour layover.) So I logged in and made a better routing. (Afternoon departure, one stop, 1 hour and 20 layover.
Now my third-party flight tracker app indicates that I can get a much cheaper outbound ($162 less!). But because SWA changed my return flight and I tried to straighten it out, I no longer have the ability to change that outbound and save money. That doesn't seem fair at all. How can I change the outbound to the better fare? I should not be penalized because SWA made a flight change, and especially because they made a ridiculous routing that I had to fix.
