Digital Same Day Change

I led the product team in launching Digital Same Day Change in the Southwest app and mobile website, bringing flexible travel options to customers’ fingertips.

What Launched

Customers on premium fare tickets and A-List members can now:

  • Same Day Standby - Join the standby list for an earlier flight
  • Same Day Confirmed Change - Move to an open flight instantly
  • Pay fare differences easily for Wanna Get Away tickets

How It Works

  1. Check in for your flight
  2. Tap to view your trip
  3. See the Same Day Standby or Same Day Confirmed Change options
  4. Select your preferred flight and confirm

Added Intelligence

We also added remaining seat counts to help customers make informed decisions:

  • See open seats on the flight selection list
  • View standby list positions
  • Make better choices about when to fly

Customer Value

Running early? Now you can hop on an earlier flight’s standby list to get more time back in your day. All from the convenience of the app—no need to wait in line at the gate.

Now showing remaining seat counts on standby lists and flight selection, making it easier to make informed decisions.
