Canceling one ticket out of two on Southwest Airlines is straightforward due to their flexible policies, but the exact steps depend on how the tickets were booked.

Here’s a step-by-step guide and what you need to know:

Key Principle: All Southwest Tickets Are Refundable

Unlike most airlines, Southwest does not charge change or cancellation fees. When you cancel a ticket, you don’t get cash back (unless it was a Business Select or Anytime fare purchased with cash). Instead, the funds become Travel Funds or the original form of payment is refunded, depending on the fare type and payment method.

How to Cancel One Ticket (Two Main Scenarios)

Scenario 1: You Booked Two Separate Reservations

This is the simplest case. Each ticket has its own Confirmation Number. 1. Go to Southwest.com and click “Manage Reservations.” 2. Enter the confirmation number and passenger name for the ticket you want to cancel. 3. Select “Cancel Flight.” 4. The value will be converted to Travel Funds (stored in the traveler’s name) or refunded to the original payment method (for eligible fares).

Scenario 2: You Booked Both Passengers on One Reservation

This is a single confirmation number with two passengers listed. 1. Go to Southwest.com, click “Manage Reservations,” and enter the shared confirmation number. 2. You will see both passengers listed. 3. You must first “Split” the reservation. Look for an option that says “Separate/Divide Reservations” or “Split Reservation.” This will create a unique confirmation number for each

Yes you can, but the ticket will be repriced at the one-way fare. For most US domestic flights this is less than a roundtrip so is worth doing (however be aware a ticket change fee may negate any saving), but for long haul one way is usually more than the return price you have paid.
