Tight Connections

Hey,

 

I just booked two flights on Southwest. I purchased them seperately because there was no option to purchase the flight as one trip. I only have 35 minutes between the arrival time of the first flight and the departure time of the second. Is that enough time to change planes and is there a way that my luggage can be checked through to my final destination even though I bought the tickets in two transactions?

What airport is the connection? That will make a big difference.

 

They should be able to check your bag all the way through to your destination as long as you use the full-service bag check (not express bag drop or self-tag).

 

If your first flight is delayed, you'll be at the mercy of the agent for rebooking to your final destination, but if you explain the situation they should be able to help you. Good luck!
