You are not searching. You are watching.
When you do not yet know if you can go, the scarce thing is not the price — it is the deadline, and the money sitting on the wrong side of it. This tracks what you would lose by committing early, and what you would lose by waiting.
The rule that costs people money: the federal 24-hour free-cancel protection applies only to tickets bought 7+ days before departure, and never to bookings made through a third-party site. Inside 7 days you have no federal protection at all — only whatever that airline chooses to offer.
Nothing pending.
| Southwest AirlinesWN | CHANGED IN 2026. Wanna Get Away was renamed Basic and no longer gives a credit - cancel a Basic fare outside 24h of booking and the money is GONE. Choice gives a 12-month credit; Choice Preferred and Choice Extra give a full cash refund. Southwest's own policy refunds any fare cancelled within 24h of booking, separate from the DOT rule. |
| Frontier AirlinesF9 | Basic fares are non-refundable. Changes and cancellations cost real money unless you bought a bundle that includes flexibility. |
