Thanks! That's what I was guessing but figured it was worth asking. SW flights come out earlier than flight prices drop so it's always a guess as to which to purchase. Love SW, just wish our closest airport wasn't 2 1/2 hours from home.It depends; if you cancel out your original reservation, that seat (fare bucket) may go back into open inventory for another customer to purchase, if general fares did not change. Otherwise, you pay the fare at time of purchase, in real time - you can't convert from a previous points purchase to a cash purchase. It's a completely new transaction.
