My plug for Southwest:

Southwest is a dream to deal with when you have a change of plans. My daughter’s college is near St. Louis. She either drives or flies back and forth but since she does it with friends she often doesn’t know what she is doing until a month before coming home. In the fall she thought for sure she had a ride back to college but her friend backed out three weeks before they were due on campus - right after the New Year. By that time the best prices for Southwest were gone we ended up paying for the highest priced one way fare - $179 (inclusive) from PHL. A week before she was to leave another friend suggested that she come in for New Years eve. I was able to call Southwest and in five minutes changed her flight without any price change.

Even if you have to cancel a fun fare or an internet only fare, you get credit for that ticket and can use it another time. I also like how when you call them you get a real live person.
