If you miss your flight on Southwest they credit 100% of your money back - even if it's your own fault for sleeping in.
Is that true? My experience is that you're both wrong. You retain what you spent on the flight as credit w/ Southwest for future travel.
What I meant by "100% credit" is 100% credited back into your SWA account - not cash back - but that's still amazing by industry standards.
If you pay full fare on southwest ("anytime" fare) - they are refundable for any reason. If you have a discount fare, they are 100% creditable. Southwest is really great in the regard.
What? That's not what this was doing at all. Not checking in won't cause you to miss your flight, just get a worse seat.
