Thanks.Yes they go back to your RR acct and do not expire as long as your acct is not inactive for more than 24 months.

I believe those are credited back to the original form of payment. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.What happens to the tax and early bird if you booked on points but have to cancel.
As long as you have not made any changes to your reservation since booking, there will be a drop-down box giving you the option of taxes/fee refunded to original form of payment or to keep as a credit to be used within one year of booking (travel completed within one year).What happens to the tax and early bird if you booked on points but have to cancel.
All EarlyBird Check-In purchases are nonrefundable. Customers who cancel their flight will forfeit the previously purchased EarlyBird Check-In option for that particular flight. In the event that a flight is cancelled by Southwest, the EarlyBird Check-In purchased for the cancelled flight will be refunded

However, according to Southwest:
I wasn't sure myself about EBCI refunds, so I had to look it up.Oh my. Sorry for providing wrong information. Thanks for clarifying for the OP.
I can understand your frustration as what they did was really unfair! You paid for Early Bird. If they wanted their family close every single one of them should have paid for EBCI too.Unpleasant/unfair experience on Southwest flight the other day....I purchased the Early Bird and also got boarding pass A25 so Felt confident I would get a seat close to front of plane. However when I boarded plane there were numerous family members boarding with wheel chairs (even though I heard announcement that only one family member could board with a wheel chair) then when I actually boarded there were 2 people who had placed hats and a few bags on the seats in the rows in front, in back and across from them basically saving 15 seats!!! This is crazy and when the passenger boarding in front of me complained the people just ignored her. She called out to the airline attendendant and they simply replied asking her to please select her seat so boarding could be completed!!!!
I don't see why the airline does not address these situations why is it ok for those of us who pay the Early Bird fee to be ignored while 2 people can pay the fee and save multiple seats for passengers not paying the Early Bird fee!

Unfortunately, no. Kids six years old and younger can board between A and B boarding groups along with one adult, each, with Family Boarding; however, kids older than six must follow the normal boarding guidelines.I'll be flying with 2 adults and 2 children (each 9 yr) in Jan. Can I pay for early bird on the adult tickets and they'll let the children on? I'm guessing the answer is no but thought I would check if this is "legal".
I hate spending the extra money on early boarding. We don't care if we're split up but each of my girls want a window seat.
No they can not board with you.I'll be flying with 2 adults and 2 children (each 9 yr) in Jan. Can I pay for early bird on the adult tickets and they'll let the children on? I'm guessing the answer is no but thought I would check if this is "legal".

If you won't have a problem using a credit within one year, I'd advise booking now, then checking daily for any fare reductions. Your travel dates are during a very popular time, as families want to get a trip in, before school starts for the fall term. Also, you are flying out of a smaller market, so there are not as many flights. Have you thought about a different departure airport?So I waited too long to book flights for August (still not sure if we are going, hence the waited too long) and flights keep rising. Any chance they may come down as it gets closer? We have flights going down on 8/13 but need return flights on 8/18 or 8/19. I was hoping to get a late flight on 8/18 since we are there for a short time but that is at $249 today. I would stay an extra day but Sunday flights aren't any better. Any experienced opinions? Should I just book now and cross my fingers that they come down and I get a credit. I'm flying out of Providence, RI. There are 3 of us.
TIA
Am I the only one up & waiting for Feb flights??
Nope
Good! It was really quiet in here compared to normal! We leave for the airport in an hour to head on our first Alaskan cruise...I need these to release asap!
