Step 1: Southwest Airlines Flight Compensation Guide

Assistance For Delay/Cancellation

If your flight has been delayed or canceled, Southwest Airlines is not liable to provide cash compensation.  For this, ClaimCatalyst can not help, you must reach out directly to the gate agent or another airline representative at the time of delay/cancellation.  Southwest Airlines has pledged to help in other ways in accordance with their Policy:

  • Meal Voucher: If your flight is delayed by three hours or more due to circumstances within Southwest Airlines’ control, they offer a reasonable meal to each ticketed guest at the airport, subject to vendor availability.
  • Hotel Accommodations: For overnight stays due to cancellations caused by circumstances within Southwest Airlines’ control, they provide complimentary hotel accommodations, including single or family rooms and round-trip ground transportation, if available.
  • Rebooking Guarantee: In controllable situations such as delays, cancellations, or diversions, Southwest Airlines will place you on the next available flight at no extra charge.

Your commitment to follow-up can play a significant role in expediting your claim and securing the compensation you deserve.
