Change Return Flight Behavior

• Description: Users will now be able to change their return flight only for itineraries that are booked via Southwest direct access or Sabre and have automated ticket exchange enabled..  This applies to bookings that are trying to change before their trip is started.  Users who have Sabre ATE enabled will also be able to change their return flight after flying the outbound segment.  This is not the case for Southwest Direct bookings.

Unused Tickets on Southwest Direct

• Description: When a traveler has unused tickets that are a higher value than the ticket that they are purchasing, a remaining value will be stored by Southwest for future use.  Previously, the messaging to the user did not match the behavior that was supported by Southwest.  The system has now been updated so that what we display to the user exactly matches how Southwest will handle the calculations, whether there are one or more unused tickets from Southwest being applied.

Share Trip From Email Address

• Description: When a delegate is impersonating a user and wants to send an email to the user utilizing the share trip functionality, the email will now come from the delegate's email address vs. the user that he/she is impersonating's email address.
