Independent Travel Assistance for Southwest Airlines Passengers
Southwest's policies work differently from most airlines. Our travel team helps travelers understand their options and handle changes on Southwest bookings.
MyFlightsAssist is independent from Southwest Airlines. MyFlightsAssist is an independent travel agency. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by any airline.
What we can help with
Booking changes and cancellations
Southwest has historically had flexible change policies, but fare rules and credits still vary by ticket type. We check the specifics before recommending any action.
Rebooking after disruptions
Southwest operates a point-to-point network rather than a traditional hub system, which affects how rebooking works when a flight is cancelled.
New reservations
We help plan Southwest itineraries — useful for travelers who want to compare routing and timing options across Southwest's large domestic network.
Group travel coordination
Coordinating group travel on Southwest involves different considerations than hub-and-spoke carriers. We handle the logistics.
Traveling with Southwest Airlines
Southwest Airlines is one of the largest US domestic carriers, operating a point-to-point network rather than the hub-and-spoke model used by most major airlines. Its largest operations are at Chicago Midway, Dallas Love Field, Baltimore/Washington, Denver, Las Vegas, Phoenix and Houston Hobby. In 2026, Southwest launched service to five new destinations including Anchorage.
Southwest announced a partnership with Turkish Airlines in late 2025, scheduled to begin in 2026, which represents the carrier's most significant international connectivity move. Within the US, Southwest is the leading carrier at several airports including Dallas Love Field and Chicago Midway.
Southwest's network
Southwest's network spans more than 100 US and near-international destinations, with particular strength in Florida, Texas, California and the Midwest. City pairs like Chicago Midway to Denver, Dallas Love Field to Las Vegas and Baltimore to Florida are among its frequently traveled routes.
Southwest is also pursuing Hawaii routes and has been actively expanding its vacation and leisure travel network. The Turkish Airlines partnership adds international connectivity through Istanbul for travelers willing to connect through Southwest's domestic network to a gateway city.
Route information reflects the published network for Southwest Airlines as of September 2026 and can change; check the airline directly for current schedules.
How MyFlightsAssist can help
Southwest's ticketing works differently from most airlines — it doesn't traditionally work with global distribution systems in the same way, and its policies can catch travelers off guard. We help you understand the actual options on your booking and handle the change or cancellation correctly.
Any fare, fee or penalty set by Southwest Airlines is separate from our own professional service fee. See our Service Fees page for details.
