How Southwest Airlines Handles Missed Connecting Flights

Southwest Airlines operates on a point-to-point route system, rather than the traditional hub-and-spoke model used by many other airlines. However, many Southwest itineraries still involve connections, especially for long-distance domestic travel. So what happens if you miss your first flight—or a connecting one?

1. If You Miss the First Leg of Your Flight

If you miss the first leg of your Southwest journey, all remaining connecting flights are automatically canceled. This is because the airline assumes you’re a no-show and won’t continue your journey.

To avoid losing your entire ticket value, call Get Human Desk immediately at +1-833-923-5122. We may be able to salvage your itinerary, get you rebooked, or request travel credit on your behalf.

2. If You Miss a Connection Mid-Trip

If you’re already in the air or at your layover airport and miss your connecting flight due to a delay from Southwest (weather, mechanical issues, etc.), the airline is responsible for rebooking you on the next available flight at no extra charge.

In many cases, Southwest will:

Automatically book you on the next flight

Send updated details via email or the Southwest app

Provide a new boarding pass when you check in

Need help confirming your rebooking or speeding things up? Call +1-833-923-5122—Get Human Desk will handle everything from confirmation to new boarding passes.

When Is Southwest Responsible for Rebooking?

Southwest typically takes full responsibility if the missed connection was caused by:

A delay in your incoming flight

Mechanical or operational issues

Air traffic control restrictions

Crew availability problems

In these situations, you should not be charged any additional fees to complete your journey. If you're not automatically rebooked, our team at Get Human Desk can get in touch with Southwest on your behalf and ensure your trip continues as planned. Call us now at +1-833-923-5122.

When Are You Responsible?

If the missed flight was due to personal circumstances—like arriving late at the airport, failing to board on time, or missing check-in—Southwest is not obligated to rebook you. However, they may still help under their "flat tire rule," an informal policy that offers free rebooking within two hours of departure if agents believe your situation was out of your control.

In these cases:

You must act quickly

Availability may be limited

Rebooking isn't guaranteed

Get Human Desk can step in immediately and advocate for your case. If you’re within that two-hour window, we’ll do everything we can to help you get on the next flight and preserve your connections. Just dial +1-833-923-5122.

What About Your Baggage?

Baggage is usually tagged to your final destination, but if you miss a connecting flight, your luggage may continue to the original endpoint without you—or it may be held back until you rebook.

Here’s how Get Human Desk helps:

We coordinate with Southwest baggage services

We track and reroute your bags if needed

We make sure your luggage stays with you for the rest of the journey

Traveling is already stressful—don’t let your bags go on vacation without you. Call +1-833-923-5122 and let us handle it.

Can You Get Compensation or Travel Credits?

If Southwest is at fault for the delay that caused your missed connection, you may be eligible for:

Travel vouchers

Food or hotel accommodations (in some cases)

Rebooking at no cost

Travel credit (valid for 12 months)

However, these are often not offered automatically, and you'll have to request them. Our agents at Get Human Desk know exactly how to request and apply these benefits on your behalf. Get in touch now at +1-833-923-5122 and let us work for you.
