The reason I ask, I have to travel to FLL for some family business this week. I leave on the 7:05 from BDL, getting in at 8:20 to BWI (generally, this means getting in a little before 8:20). I know BWI very well, and typically can connect there in 25-30 mins. However, my connection is now not until 9:50. There is an 8:50 departure.

Is there a way a res agent or check in agent at the airport can override this?
Is it worth overriding?
Will my bags make it onto the 8:50 or 9:50?

Also...just want to say thank goodness for being able to re-fare! I was able to bank $45 from a previously scheduled trip to offset the cost of this emergency trip, so THANKS SOUTHWEST!
Personally I would rather have the extra time and Know the chances of me making my connection are much better.
