Reply to comment by Colorado1996 in Southwest cancellations: Passengers may be waiting for days to get on a flight by crabcakes110

Supposed to fly from OKC to San Diego via Denver Jan 4th. I will need to check a bag. Is it too soon to say if I should rebook with another airline that isn’t Southwest? I know you mention it’s likely to go out as scheduled but is there a chance of anymore meltdowns in the near term?

Ya I thought the same. Supposed to fly in Thursday with southwest, but the next open seat on another airline isn’t until Saturday for an insane price. Think I’m going to just stick to the original flight and hope for the best

Yeah, it’s not looking like Southwest will let you cancel for a refund at this point, only flight credit or change the flight. Considering flying out a different airline and keeping my return flight on Southwest. May give it a day or two to see how things shake out.

They should totally issue refunds to save face and to help themselves get out of this hole.

Obviously I’m preaching to the choir, and we know how reluctant they are to hand any money back.
