Round trip question

[Sobczynd]

Southwest changed my departing flight and it's now an hour and ten minutes later. I have a round trip flight and may have found a better flight on a different airline. If I were to cancel the departing flight, but keep the returning is that possible and does it change the cost?

Also, is it possible that Southwest will change the flight back to the original time?

Yes you can cancel the outbound flight and the cost of the return would not change. I'm not sure where the break point is delay wise between being able to get a refund vs a travel credit 

.

Not likely, but anything is possible.
