DALLAS — Southwest Airlines is adding a new airfare option called “Wanna Get Away Plus” that allows customers to transfer flight credits to others or take an earlier or later flight to the same city on the same day.
The Dallas-based airline is rolling out the new ticket type this spring, adding a fourth category to its existing Wanna Get Away, Anytime and Business Select tickets and hoping that customers will pay a bit more for added flexibility. Southwest executives wouldn’t say how much the fares will cost, but the prices will be somewhere between the ticket prices of its cheapest and middle categories.
The new fares should launch late in the second quarter of this year.
