To change your Southwest Airlines flight, follow these steps:
- Visit the Southwest Airlines website or open the Southwest app on your mobile device.
- Click on “Manage Reservations” or “Look Up Reservations”[1][2].
- Enter your confirmation number, first and last name, and click “Search.”
- Select the flight you want to change and click on “Change flight[3].
- Choose the new flight you want to switch to and follow the prompts to complete the change process.
Keep in mind that there are no change fees with Southwest Airlines, but you may need to pay the fare difference if the new flight is more expensive than the original one[4]. If you need to change only one passenger’s itinerary on a multi-passenger reservation, you’ll need to call Southwest Airlines customer service[3].
For same-day changes, you can use the Southwest website, mobile app, call customer service, or visit a Southwest gate agent[5]. Same-day changes are subject to seat availability and may require you to pay the fare difference[5].
