Southwest Airlines runs 40 percent off flight sale ending October 8
Southwest Airlines launched a new flight sale giving up to 40 percent off cash and award tickets.
The short version
- No promo code is needed to get the discount on eligible routes.
- Check your upcoming trips booked between October 26 and March 3 for potential savings.
Why it matters to you. If you already booked flights between October 26 and March 3, search your reservations on their website to reprice them at the lower rate.
If you have upcoming family trips or business travel booked on Southwest Airlines, the low-cost carrier, you might want to open your browser right now. Southwest Airlines, the discount airline known for its open seating and free checked bags, just launched a new flash sale offering up to 40 percent off both cash tickets and points redemptions, according to the travel blog Frequent Miler.
There is no secret promo code to hunt for, but the discount is not guaranteed on every route or date, and blackout dates apply around Thanksgiving and winter holidays. The best part is that you can apply the sale to travel already on your calendar.
When a flight qualifies, you will see the original fare crossed out with the new lower cash or points price sitting right underneath.
Just make sure to double check your dates before you finish, because the full 40 percent discount is rare and depends entirely on your specific itinerary. For anyone holding a stash of Southwest points or paying cash for upcoming trips, taking two minutes to reprice your existing bookings could put a nice chunk of change or points right back into your account before the sale wraps up on October 8.
