I believe the terms on them are for that flight only, or I'm vaguely remembering that one version of these used to be valid on the same day but not sure if that survived to the digital coupon age.   That said, save a copy/screenshot of them and ask nicely, many FA will allow it but YMMV. I'd say you have a good chance for same day usage. "Hey I didn't want to have this at 7 a.m. but now I'm on the way back home at 7 p.m. and I'm ready..." will be understandable by many.     ... View more

@jquebby wrote: I purchased my ticket January 12, 2020 for travel January 14th.  I also purchased EBCI.  I was able to use it for my outbound flight but not for my inbound flight because I ended up changing my travel to leave one day earlier. Because the EBCI is non-refundable, Southwest is unwilling to give me a refund.  I have already taken to Twitter to express my displeasure about this and will never again waste my money for this product.  I will simply wait ask at the boarding gate when I arrive if there are any more A zone slots available.  I would rather pay $50 for that than waste the $25 for EB and get nothing.   The closer to 36 hours pre flight time you get, the worse the value of your EBCI. Why - because EBCI positions are allocated based on when they are purchased. If bought within 24 hours of flight time it is worthless.   'As far as EBCI refundability  goes, you yourself said "Because the EBCI is non-refundable, Southwest is unwilling to give me a refund." so you seem to understand that it is nonrefundable.   You do know what nonrefundable means -- don't you? You may not like it, but that is the rule. ... View more

Arrive to the gate as early as you can and try not to be late! If the stand-by list is longer, they will delete your boarding pass in order clear people off of stand-by. I recommend, the latest you should arrive is 15 minutes before departure. ... View more
