Reservations with Southwest Airlines provides an easy facility to booking flights online by its official website. However, after a booked flight, if the passenger needs any changes to their flight, then also they can easily manage their booking by going to its official southwest airlines manage booking section. Here, the passengers can do many changes to their current booked flight tickets, or even cancel their flight itself simply.

Southwest doesn’t change names on tickets, except in the case of marriage/last name change.

FYI: If you call Southwest Airlines Phone Number within 24 hours of booking a flight you can cancel that flight for a full refund, then rebook using the “correct” name. This works if you’ve just entered the name wrong, or need to change the name of the passenger flying.

In the case of a marriage name change, contact Customer Relations at 1-855-234-4654, and they will, upon supplying proof of old name/new name (old ID, new ID, and marriage license), update your Rapid Rewards account and change the name on an existing ticket.

If you’re told otherwise, hang up and call back. And remember to contact Southwest Customer Relations at 1-855-234-4654, not the “regular” number.
