I purchased a WGA fare for my boyfriend and myself back in March. My trip is falling apart. We no longer have a place to stay for our week vacation. Also, a week ago, I got into a Master's program in London that starts in September. I don't want to take this trip anymore. I don't want to shell out another $1000 on this trip for a hotel. That money would be better spent on moving to London.

I am aware that with a WGA fare your funds can be reused 100% towards another trip with Southwest. However, in a few months we will no longer be living in a country that Southwest flies to. These reusable funds will expire before we come back to the US.

If I exchange our flight to an Anytime fare, can I then receive a full refund?

Or, if I call/email customer service with my story, might they be kind?
