The Missed Connection coverage was doubled to $1,000 per person; the Trip Delay coverage was reduced to $1,000 per person (since 99% of 2023 claims were under $1,000); and there was a moderate price increase on some tiers (based on package price), from $0 - $10 per person.
No, Southwest Vacations does not. They offer their own Southwest Vacations’ Travel Protection with a few pre-departure benefit changes and a pricing model that is 7.5% of the overall trip cost. For full details, visit Southwest Vacations® Travel Protection page here.
The nonrefundable During Travel Protection option provides the same benefits of the Travel Protection Plus post-departure plan. It does not include the pre-departure penalty waiver. This option can be added up to 2 days prior to departure and since it does not provide the full benefits of Travel Protection Plus, it has a lower price. This is a great option for last-minute type reservations that no longer qualify for the Travel Protection Plus option which must be added within 7 days after the initial deposit.
All brand-imposed revision fees are waived and are available for unlimited use so long as Travel Protection Plus remains on the reservation. Canceling or changing the vacation at any time before departure without costly revision fees does not include nonrefundable properties. Supplier-imposed fees such as airline/hotel revision penalties will be covered for the first revision instance. If used to cover supplier-imposed fees, Travel Protection Plus will need to be reapplied to the reservation at 75% of the original price in order to maintain the program benefits or the traveler is subject to any subsequent revision or cancellation fees. A lap child under the age of 2 who shares a seat with an adult is covered under the adult's policy.

For land-only or scheduled air bookings, the Price Guarantee applies only to the hotel portion of the booking.

5The Hurricane Travel Credit applies for vacations departing June through November.

Fresh Start certificates are nontransferable, are not redeemable for cash, and can be used on a vacation with the same brand as originally booked for travel any time (excluding holidays) for one year from the original departure date. A qualifying disruption occurs when your hotel requires you to be displaced from your room for 24 hours or more due to the result of a Category One or greater hurricane and does not apply to hurricane watches, warnings, or tropical storms. The Hurricane Travel Credit Plan applies to the nights you are displaced from your hotel if a comparable hotel of equal or greater hotel rating is not provided.
