The issue led to bigger-than-normal lines for some travelers at Denver International Airport, and the airport encouraged flyers to give themselves extra time and check their flight status.
By 5 p.m. operations got mostly back to normal at DIA.
Southwest said they were offering some refunds to travelers who experienced problems with their flights.
