Southwest offers more flexibility than most airlines, but refunds depend on whether you booked with points, cash, or ended up with travel funds.
If your points were refunded but your flight was cancelled or delayed significantly, you might still be eligible for cash compensation under EU law. AirHelp can confirm eligibility.
