Did you get the date switch to work? Maybe it has to have the same date range? I'd like to purchase tickets so please let us know. //@anonymous: Hi, I just booked for July 14-July 22. I'd like to change my July 22nd date to July 19th. The dates fall within the window. The flights are RT from BWI to RJD. When I open the app, I don't see the "details" option or the red banner. Can someone help with this?

Given you have 24hrs to cancel you could always try it and make sure you are within the valid dates posted. //@Anonymous: Would you send a link to this offer? I can't find it on sw. Thanks!

Can I book a trip for April 14 and switch to April 8 for free?

By anonymous on 01/17/2020, 10:41 AM EST
would we still be able to cancel after the change if the original flight was bought with points?

By dealsea.com on 01/17/2020, 10:33 AM EST
You can change routes, as long as origin and destination are the same. //@Anonymous: can you change route or just date?

By anonymous on 01/17/2020, 10:32 AM EST

By anonymous on 01/17/2020, 09:04 AM EST
Do you have to use the mobile app?

For example:
A test booking from Fort Lauderdale to Philadelphia and was able to book an $83 flight and change for free onto a $505 flight.

By dealsea.com on 01/17/2020, 07:28 AM EST
For example:
Book a cheap PDX-Las Saturday flight, and switch to the expensive Friday flight for free.
