How do I get a refund from Southwest?

The airline has set up a dedicated website for travelers to request a refund: Southwest.com/traveldisruption.

According to the Transportation Department, travelers are entitled to a refund if an airline cancels a flight, no matter the reason, and the customer decides not to travel. Passengers are also owed a refund if a carrier makes a schedule change or has a delay that is considered “significant” and the traveler opts not to take the flight.
