Thanks. Will the cancelation automatically cancel the CP ressie too, or is that a seperate step? I've many times made changes to SW flights, just never ones that had a CP attached.Just cancel the flights online (not change), and then rebook your new flights. If you have not yet done so, check out availability for 2 seats for your new itinerary, before cancelling the original.
Cancel the CP booking first, and then wait about 10 minutes. You can then cancel your reservation. Sign into your RR account to cancel both.Thanks.

Thanks. Good tip! I've been busy with yardwork today so haven't done it yet. Glad I read this before I tried!Cancel the CP booking first, and then wait about 10 minutes. You can then cancel your reservation. Sign into your RR account to cancel both.
DD had to cancel her flight. SW told her she had to rebook a new flight no later than 1-29-2019.
Q: can she travel any time with in the 2019 year?
TIA
I decided to wait. Flights are not sold out even if they say so. SW does this all the time. I think SW may set price high on initial offering. At least I have a price point. I'll check everyday, it's what I do.
I really worry that those days are gone. Last year we paid just over $400 for the week of Christmas (Milwaukee to MCO). Same for this year. I almost expect it for Christmas, but I'm pretty sure we paid well into the 300's for our flight the last week of February this year. I going to keep watching as I'd love to get a credit for the Christmas flight.Me too. I have never ever paid more than $250 RT to MCO (from the DC area) including spring break and the week before Christmas. I don’t plan to start now with Jersey Week of all times! The legacy airline prices are crazy right now too - just going to wait it out. Still hoping for SW because we have the CP through 12/31/18.
Good for you!!! My Labor Day weekend went down $12 on Sunday, but nothing different today. $12 isn't much, but SW makes it sooooo easy to change, so why not???Just saved $157 round trip on 2 tickets. Didn't actually cancel, used the change option. WGA fares went from $116 to $79.00! Whoo Hoo!

First, congratulations!! Exciting days for you as you await the birth of your son!My baby is due in 2 weeks. He hasn't been named yet, and obviously we don't yet know his birth date.
I booked a seat for him (so he could ride in his car seat) for a flight in December. I made up a birthday and named him "Baby LastName."
I intended to call Southwest after the birth to update the name and the birthdate, but the rep I just spoke to advised me that this is not allowed. She said that I cannot book a seat for him until he is actually born. Does anyone have any additional information or advice? Thank you.

Good point! I hadn't thought of the 'non transferrable' portion. Thanks for catching that.Congrats in advance...
I think you'll need to call Southwest again and see if they'll make an exception and cancel that baby ticket for you and then you can rebook it after the birth. The problem with what @scrappinginontario suggested is that when you cancel a ticket, you get a credit, but that credit is not name transferable -- in your case from "Baby LastName". I think what you're trying to do is not standard policy, but I would hope they'd give you a refund since "Baby LastName" does not and will not exist.
This link for Southwest has info for flying with infants and children. Some of this info may be helpful.My baby is due in 2 weeks. He hasn't been named yet, and obviously we don't yet know his birth date.
