Southwest Airlines – Extend Layover?

10/4/2016 7:30:39 AM

A layover can normally be up to 4 hours on a domestic itinerary, and 24 hours on an international itinerary. If there are no connecting flights within that timeframe, e.g. you take the last flight at night into a connecting airport and the next one is the morning after, then you would normally still be able to take that flight as a connection. If you exceed the limits, you would have to book multiple separate fares and combine them.

If you’re looking for a long layover, you need to search for flights that approach those limits or meet the exceptions. With some airlines, you can force these longer connections by doing a multi-city search. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem Southwest offers a multi-city search so you’re left with what they offer on the site. Alternatively, you could try calling up and booking the flights with an agent. You could search the flights for SAN-PHX, find the last flight of the day, then ring and ask to fly SAN-SLC but you can’t leave before time X, where X is the one you hope to be on. The agent may be able to put you on that flight and give you an overnight layover.
