So lately, Southwest has been having a beast of a time keeping their schedules accurate, thanks to the MAX grounding. That has meant that every time they cancel all the MAX flights for a period of time, they've opened up free changes on all flights in that time period. We don't know why, it seems absolutely idiotic, but they have old legacy IT systems almost as terrible as timeshare systems, so maybe this is the only way they can accommodate the cancelations.
In any event, what this means is that for the next couple of days, any flight you book from March 7th - April 13th, you can change to a better time, date (within two weeks), and/or (very) nearby airport.
There are some nuances about how to get the absolute best deal, and you can learn them all at https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/sou...nges-mar-7-apr-13-more-max8-rescheduling.html
This will only be available for a couple of days. I have to get a bit of sleep, but I'll come back tomorrow to help if people don't catch on. Use the monthly fare calendar to help you find the best fares on the route you need. Have fun!
