Southwest Airlines reviews Online customer reviews tend to agree with Skytrax's assessment. According to the 2022 Airline Quality Rating report, Southwest was ranked as the No. 1 airline in 2021 and 2020. In addition, Southwest had the second lowest consumer complaint rate in 2021.

Wanna Get Away® and Wanna Get Away Plus® tickets are non-refundable. The value of the ticket will be converted to a flight credit or Transferable Flight Credit™(depending on the fare) that you can use to buy a future flight.

The main differences between Wanna Get Away and Anytime fares is refundability and points earning rates. While Wanna Get Away fares can be refunded as future travel funds, Anytime fares are refunded as cash back.

Southwest's Wanna Get Away fares are the most budget-friendly, and that means they come with more restrictions than higher-tier Wanna Get Away Plus, Anytime and Business Select fares. Wanna Get Away fares already allow same-day standby, but currently any fare difference must be paid.

Wanna Get Away Plus offers more flexibility for a fee The Wanna Get Away fare doesn't allow for much flexibility at all. Making any changes will cost you. The Wanna Get Away Plus fare allows you to make same-day changes to your ticket without paying a difference in fare.
