Southwest Business Select: This was intended for scheduled deadheads on SWA as a way to alleviate some of the pain, especially on the mid-trip SDDHs that were prevalent at the time it was established. CTS should still book all scheduled SWA DHs with business select when available, however, the accepted fare (and your bank) will only reflect the cost of a basic ticket (w/o Business Select).
If you deviate on SWA, you can request Business Select, but the total cost of the ticket will be charged against your bank.
Good info, as I missed this the 1st time around. However, the way I read this is that:
1) The accepted fare will be the cost of the basic ticket.
2) If you deviate, and use Business Select, the TOTAL cost of the ticket will be charged against your BANK.
Am I wrong on this? This would be fine with me as I had the $ in my deviation bank; they just STILL refuse to pay for the Business Select portion of the ticket.
Guess I will know soon as I have emailed my ACP and the SIG. I will report back as soon as I get a final answer, just in case anyone else has to deal with this!
