Thank you, I appreciate you taking the time to respond to me. So is there any way I can prevent the possibility of having my One Way flight canceled? Customer service was the one that told me I should book the one way flight...because if I missed my connecting flight they could not guarentee me a spot on any of the later flights -- without paying for a spot. And who knows how expensive the spots will be on the Day Of the flight, so I decided to save myself some money and just book it ahead of time! Also -- if I miss my connecting flight and my bags go on ahead of me, will I have any problem picking them up when I reach OAK? I will be arriving several hours later so will they be holding the bags somewhere?

Thank you for the reply - I think I wasn't clear in my original post. My flight from MCO to OAK is scheudled to have lay over in LAS where we have to change planes (still a SouthWest Flight) I know that in these cases Southwest transfers your bags for you to your connecting flight. However, I will probably be missing my connecting flight from LAS to OAK. I have already booked a seperate one way flight from LAS to OAK (in anticipation of missing my connecting flight) -- but my bags are still on my connecting flight - correct? Is there any way for me to get my bags off at the LAS layover? Or will my bags go ahead of me, on the connecting flight that I might miss?

My family is flying from MCO to OAK - with a layover in LAS. During the layover in LAS we are going to try and make it to a quick Dr's appt check up for my daughter (long story) - but I am worried that we won't make it back in time for our connecting flight to OAK. I called into customer service and asked if they could just put us on a later flight from LAS to OAK and was told that was not an option. That we would need to book our own one way flights. So I DID book us later one way flights from LAS to OAK. MY QUESTION: What will happen to our luggage? Will just continue on to OAK without us and we can pick it up a few hours later? Our one way flight is scheduled to leave 4 hours later, but still the same day. Or is there anyway we can get our luggage in LAS - if we know we probably will not be making our connecting flight?
