Our Verdict
Southwest has a pretty good cancellation/refunds policy, depending on the fare you’ve booked you’ll either receive a credit towards a future flight(Wanna Get Away) or cash refund (Business Select or Anytime – returned to credit card if you used one). It’s always worth checking to see if your flights have fallen in price when they offer these types of sale. This one is bigger than the weekly ones they normally have. Keep in mind award flights are tied to the cash price of a flight.

Thanks, updated.
You guys are so awesome, time and again. Just saved $146 total on 2 sets of flights - woot woot!
Glad to be able to help.
What is the best way to figure out the price paid for existing reservations?
EDIT: Is it any different for flights paid with points to see how many points were paid?
On Regular Computer
1) Login to your southwest.com account
2) At the top of the page click 'My Account'
3) Scroll down to "My Flights"
4) At the bottom of the upcoming flight click 'Change Flight'
5) On the next screen select the flight(s)
6) Click 'Select New Flights'
It will then give you a listing of the available flights and list the difference in either points or dollars. If the flight is lower, simply click it
Doesn't seem to work if you have a Companion Pass.
Thanks Steven - very helpful!
So I see a 25$ difference in my flight ticket which i booked more than a month back(Wanna Get Away). Do I call them and ask for a refund. Or do I just cancel the existing ticket and book a new one?
Although it doesn't matter for WGA fares and points bookings, in other cases you may actually want to cancel and rebook if you had a refundable fare to begin with.

Just change the flight to the same flight with the new fare. You’ll get the difference as a credit.

That would help wouldn't it! Just added.
They had a sale last week and I rebooked then. Prices are the same for me with this one. Thanks for the head's up nonetheless.
