Snipeye Welcome to FT
We have a Southwest forum, where this thread will get moved to
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/south...d-rewards-501/
Does vary by airline, but often any more than 4 hours on a domestic itninary is a stop over if you choose flights that way, or seperate tickets.
If Southwest will not change your flight without payment, thats the way it will be.
