The vouchers are required when a flight was canceled or delayed within seven days of the departure date, passengers arrived at their destination three or more hours later than planned, and the delay or cancelation was caused by something Southwest could control, like a staffing or maintenance issue.
Passengers must request compensation through Southwest's dedicated website within one year from the date of the delayed or canceled flight. You will receive a response within 30 days.
Vouchers are transferable and are valid for at least one year after the date of issuance.
