Yes. Use the "Change" option and then select the same flight at the new, lower price. You will get Travel Funds in the amount of the difference in the fare, or points back if you booked with points.So, I booked our flights for December last week, at $112 per person each way, and paid for ebci. Now they’re down to $99. How can I change to the cheaper price and keep my ebci? Do I just click on the “change” flight button and rechoose the same flights to get the new price but keep my ebci? I’ve never had prices go down before so I’m clueless!

By using the "Change" option, your confirmation number stays the same. EBCI is tied to the confirmation number, so your EBCI will still be connected to your reservation. If you cancel and rebook, you get a new reservation with a number confirmation number and your EBCI will be lost.
Great! Be sure to save that confirmation number. You will need it in the future when you want to access the Travel Funds you earned by repricing your flight.Thank you! I successfully changed it and got a $103 credit! Woohoo! And it still shows my ebci, so nothing weird happened, thank goodness.
It partially depends on how much advance notice you are thinking of. Normally, WGA fares will not be available for booking a flight only a few days in advance of departure date; the exception is when there are many unsold seats on the flight. If thinking of booking with more advance notice, WGA fares could again be available if some customers change or cancel their plans, and those WGA slots become available again. There is really no way of knowing.If wanna get away is showing up as sold out, does that mean there is no chance of seeing the price on that particular flight go down? Didn’t want to waste my time continuously checking, but also didn’t want to miss out if sometimes additional spots are added for whatever reason!

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.
My grandson flew at 4, 11, 12 and 17 months and each time my daughter had to show his birth certificate. Maybe it depends on the airport???I've never had to present any identifying information for either of my children, so really, I could put whatever I want for their DOB/name (TSA asks them their name, but obviously your little one won't be able to answer). If you already booked it, I wouldn't worry about it. There is always a chance they'd ask for a birth certificate, but I think they do that more for the babies who are close to 2 (or look 2) and are booked as lap infants.

Yes. But I also just remembered we recently booked flights for December when he'll be 24+ months so he needs his own seat and SW told me we still need to show a copy of his birth certificate.Possibly. Was he a lap baby?
I don't think that you are automatically checked in, unless you have Early Bird check-in. I've always had my phone in-hand, shortly before T-24, unless I had A-List or Early Bird. You will, however, be able to receive a boarding pass at the resort.Does the RAC or DME process automatically check you in on SW (for return flight home)? It's been a few years since I used DME and RAC from the Boardwalk to MCO, but I seem to recall that I was automatically checked-in on Southwest and was given my boarding pass the day I was checking out from the Boardwalk.
Also, if I am auto-checked-in, do I get decent boarding group number or would I be better off checking myself in at the 24 hour mark?
you will want to check b at the very second of T -24:00:00 for any hope of getting a good boarding number. If you don’t check yourself in you will be assigned a BP # when you check in at Pop.Does the RAC or DME process automatically check you in on SW (for return flight home)?

No, each credit only can be used by the ticketed passenger who got the credit. The travel funds will be saved and must be used within one year from the date the trip was booked (travel must be completed, not just reserved). To use the credit, you must have the original confirmation number.Hey guys, If I purchase 5 tickets for my family and the cost goes down I can call and get a credit for the differance. Now here is the question can I use that credit for just one person? So example if I get $20.00 a ticket that would $100 can I use that $100. on a ticket just for me?
