No good answer.
WN policy is really flexible, but they do old tight to the one year rule. Way better than most airlines that tell you where to go....
As to flying next week - fares are dropping. But, if you do not any options, then tough luck.
For those that do not fly WN for over a year - they are okay to risk an unhappy customer - since they are not a frequent flyer anyways.
Take the "poor" option they are giving you I guess. Or MAYBE, book a flight and hope they cancel it and give you an extended period to use it???
