Southwest Airlines Customer FAQ

If you misspelled your name when booking a flight with Southwest Airlines, you can correct it by visiting the "Manage Reservations" section on the Southwest Airlines website as it may vary based on the nature of the error. For minor corrections to the name, you usually have the option to do this online or by contacting customer service. For significant changes, you may need to cancel the current flight and rebook with the correct name. Make sure to check the policies regarding name changes, as they can vary.

Southwest Airlines accepts small pets in the cabin, but no specific veterinary papers are required for dogs traveling as pets. However, it's essential to ensure your pet is healthy and able to travel. We recommend bringing any necessary health documentation for your peace of mind. Always check Southwest's current pet travel policy for any updates or additional requirements.

If your TSA PreCheck number doesn’t appear on your boarding pass, ensure that the number is correctly added to your reservation. You can add your PreCheck number during the booking process or by modifying your existing reservation. If it still does not show up, try checking your profiles with Southwest and ensure that the number is saved correctly. If necessary, bring your Known Traveler Number (KTN) to the airport and present it at check-in or security.

When flying with a child who isn't yours, you typically need the child's identification documents, such as a birth certificate or government-issued ID, to verify their age and guardianship. Additionally, it's advisable to have a signed letter from the child's parent or legal guardian authorizing you to travel with the child. This letter should include contact information for the parent or guardian in case any questions arise. Always check the specific airline requirements, as they may vary.

If you're unable to log in to your Rapid Rewards account despite having your member number, it could be due to a few reasons, such as an incorrect password or issues with your account.
