Southwest Airlines Just Made an Eye-Opening Change to Its Service That Passengers Will Love (and No One Noticed)

"It's always quaint when an airline does something that seems to favor passengers.
It's tempting to think of Southwest Airlines as the People's Defender.
It does a pleasantly populist job of not charging change fees or baggage fees.
This doesn't mean, however, that Southwest is always, always people-friendly.
It is, indeed, touching that, unlike most other airlines, it doesn't charge you $200 for the few clicks it takes to change your flight.
There was still a catch involved, however.
As Deals We Like reports, it used to be, for example, that when you changed a refundable fare flight, the new flight would become non-refundable.
So if your plans changed again and you wanted to cancel, all you'd get would be travel vouchers, rather than your money back.
Last week, however, Southwest had a change of heart.
The airline decided that your changed refundable fare would stay refundable...."
