Unfortunately, Southwest stopped allowing funds to be used by anyone several years ago. 😞 The fare rules are included in every confirmation email sent after booking, changing or cancelling a flight. Here's a sample from a flight I recently booked (emphasis mine): Fare Rule(s): NONREF/NONTRANSFERABLE STANDBY REQ UPGRADE TO Y -BG WN Valid only on Southwest Airlines. All travel involving funds from this Confirmation Number must be completed by the expiration date. Unused travel funds may only be applied toward the purchase of future travel for the individual named on the ticket. Any changes to this itinerary may result in a fare increase. Failure to cancel reservations for a Wanna Get Away fare segment at least 10 minutes prior to travel will result in the forfeiture of all remaining unused funds.
