Southwest Airlines Cancellation Policy

If a passenger requests a refund for the cancellation of the flight, the amount of the refund will be decided on the basis of the conditions of the flight fare which will not cover the service charges as they are non-refundable.
In this case, bookings for flights made within 7 days of the departure of the flight can be canceled within 24 hours. You must then cancel your flight booking by email request in accordance with Southwest Airlines' cancellation policy.
Also, if the flight is canceled within 24 hours of purchasing the ticket, you will not be charged any cancellation fee and the flight will be canceled without payment
In addition, refunds for flight cancellations will be credited to your account in the same way as payment for booked flights
