It’s wheels up on your next vacation. Southwest Airlines is having a major sale right now!
Flights On Sale
Southwest Airlines is slashing up to 40 percent off on some of its routes. Just put in the code “FALL40” when searching for flights to ensure you’re getting the discounted fares. I randomly looked for a few round-trip flights and found sale prices from Nashville to Washington, D.C. in September; New York’s LaGuardia to Destin, Florida, in August; and Las Vegas to Belize City, Belize, in August as well.
The Southwest Airlines sale is running right now, but ends Thursday, June 9, so book quickly! The discounted fares are good for travel from August 16–November 5, 2022. You may have to be flexible on dates and times, as most of the deals available were for off-travel days (like Monday).
Recent Changes
The Southwest Airlines fare sale comes as the carrier introduces an array of changes to its fleet and customer experience. Last month, Southwest introduced a new fare class: Wanna Get Away Plus. The new fare class gives travelers more flexibility on same-day flight changes, more rewards points per flight, and the ability to transfer flight credit to another passenger.
Southwest Airlines is also investing $2 billion to upgrade passengers’ flight experience, including enhanced Wi-Fi and adding charging ports at every seat. Other changes include larger overhead bin space and increased drink offerings. Southwest Airlines hopes these changes will lure back fliers and increase capacity.
