Thanks, Bobby. Before calling SWA again, peruse the web site and locate your preferred flights--date, time, flight numbers, write them down. If one fits your fancy try rebooking it yourself. Might not allow you to--SWAs system does that if you've ever had to use customer service to make changes. I thought my original limit was 14 days for the flights. Or maybe I just had 14 days to re-book at same price. Memory fades. And remember they post new fares every Tuesday, often something will be lower priced.
I had booked our July 18 trip in Jan or Feb? to fit with friend Connie's birthday celebration; price was high but I counted on it coming down (What is wrong with me???). But, it did come down twice, dramatically with virus news and stock market taking. So we banked a lot of "travel funds" just rebooking same flights. Then the big shut down, flight cancellations. I had rebooked to later July non-stops, then the "takeover" elimination of THAT non-stop flight. Sigh... So it seems if you see a non-stop later in the calendar, don't count on it. It could be changed closer to the trip. But I can tolerate one plane change, not three.
Then I read the "corona virus update" link on the SWA site. A long list of states and territories and cities "that you came from or through" into Texas. If so you have to self-quarantine for 14 days, a form to fill out and hand the health dept. agent upon deplaning at the gate...yikes! We change flights at Love Field! But that only applies if Texas was to be your final destination. I remember Texas was a state with very high number of cases, so probably the gov. trying to tamp that down.
I haven't told husband or friend of the mask requirement yet. Both may opt out! I won't go alone. Waiting to see what happens. Good luck to you, Bobby.
