We are excited to share that Southwest flight credits don’t expire! Southwest just introduced a first of its kind policy among U.S. airlines, eliminating expiration dates on all Southwest flight credits.  This additional flexibility applies to all currently valid, existing flight credits, and any new flight credit issued. 

You’ll be seeing placeholder expiration dates on any valid flight credits extended until December 31, 2040, as Southwest works to update their technology systems to remove expiration dates on flight credits later this year. We hope that this improvement will bring even more simplicity and ease to your travel experience.
