Can I sell my ticket or transfer to another person?

[OnABudgetDiva]

I bought a one way flight for about $128.50. Do you guys know the rules southwest has for this? I believe the flight was an internet special. I am sure I will lose my miles since I can not use the ticket now.

It sounds like you're in need of a welcome to our corner of FlyerTalk, OnABudgetDiva, so welcome!

You can't sell or transfer the ticket to another person, but you can cancel the ticket and reuse those funds, putting them toward another ticket for yourself or anyone else (you can sell the funds to someone else if you wish) for up to a year after the original date of purchase. WN charges no fees or penalties for any of that. This is detailed in the FAQ:

Thanks for this. I still do not get how to cancel it without losing the non refundable ticktet. It is kind of confusing.

When you cancel, the ticket is gone. The money you used to pay for that ticket remains available for reuse, but will not be refunded.

Cancel using your confirmation number here:

Confirm that the funds ("Ticketless Travel Funds") from that ticket are available for reuse here:

Got it. I changed my ticket.

You will have received a new confirmation number for your new reservation/ticket. If that new ticket cost less than the amount of your original ticket, keep in mind those leftover funds will remain with the original confirmation number and can be used for other future tickets (travel to be completed within one year from the original date of purchase.)

Also remember that if you add additional funds to the original funds, the expiration date for the combined funds retains the original date of purchase.
