I’ve flown SW in/out of ATL many, many times. I don’t think I’ve ever flown out of anything aside from Terminal C with SW. You shouldn’t have any problems - just a normal airport (albeit large). You’ll likely just walk from one SW gate to another in the same area.
One of my upcoming Southwest flights this year still shows the equipment as a MAX. I think I will be proactive and contact Southwest to make sure my flight won't be cancelled.
That is not necessarily a new issue. A few months ago, I tweeted Southwest (private message with confirmation number), and they processed the change. They requested screenshots showing the reduced fare and error.Is anyone else having difficulty changing flights online? Each time I’ve attempted to change a flight (both on the app and the website) for a price decrease on points it’s given me an error message and I’ve had to call in. Don’t get me wrong, I’m thankful for the price decreases, but it puts me on pins and needles waiting to get them on the phone and hoping the price doesn’t increase while I do!
I believe that the two reductions in price would be issued separately via 2 separate credits. Both would have to be used(New flight booked and flight completed) within 1 year from the date of original purchase! Always fun to catch a reduction!
HAPPY! Decided to check SW tickets this morning for reductions...Between 3 one way tickets, got a reduction of 8,446 points! Then a round trip travel credit of $74.00 for me and a one travel credit of $32.00. A GREAT DAY! Really pays to price, reprice, and reprice!
Hope that you got your price decrease processed!Is anyone else having difficulty changing flights online?

So here's an update as I checked in today for our flight. I had sent a message via Twitter asking if it would affect my early bird. This was the reply: " Thanks for reaching out. The update to your name should have no effect on your EarlyBird purchases. Your boarding pass will still be reserved 36 hours prior to departure. -Grayson"
With the grounding of the MAX8 aircraft extended into 2020, Southwest needs to not only rework Q1 of 2020, but also the last couple of months of 2019. So, we shall see how long that takes.
Mine is a decrease of a little over 400 points. I’m not 100% sure we’ll even be taking this flight (a potential conflict has come up, but it’s not definite yet so I’m holding onto the flight for now). I’ve already called and changed the flight a few times with bigger decreases, and to be honest I just didn’t feel like calling this time. I’ve continued to randomly try online but I keep getting the same error message. Like @mamamelody2, if the price decrease gets bigger I’ll call, but I feel a little guilty frequently calling about this flight that we might not be taking. It’d be so much easier if the app and/or website would work...
Hope that you can take your trip!
Thank you! Luckily the conflict is a positive one, so we’ll be pleased either way!
9000 points is a lot of points. I think you get more bang for your buck if you pay the $85.
They are many out there who have hundreds of thousand of RR points sitting in their accounts (I know someone like that). They are those who fly on the more expensive BS fares for business travel and have A+ status; their balances continue to build, as they don't fly on points. The More Rewards selections offer ways for them to make use of those points. In the past, when I had a sizeable RR balance and elite status, I cashed in points for Disney gift cards and was happy with my transaction.
It could be but for people you describe I'm sure they already have TSA-Pre (frequent fliers at least).
