Southwest Airlines wants to help travelers get away with its latest network-wide fare deals through next spring — no promo code needed.
“December travel included,” the airline shared about the promotion on its website. “Winter travel sale. Snow joke.”
This sale ends tomorrow, Nov. 14 at 11:59 p.m. PT, though travelers will need to search for tickets at least 21 days in advance to secure the best rates. One-way fares are discounted on Southwest's website, starting at $64, or available for redemption with just a few thousand points.
All travel to Hawaii airports or John Wayne Airport in Orange County (SNA) are excluded from the promotion. Additionally, eligible travel dates vary by route, and several blackout dates apply:
- Continental U.S. flights are valid between Dec. 3 and March 5
- Flights to Puerto Rico and international destinations are valid between Dec. 3 and May 22, but excluded from Dec. 18 to 28, Feb. 13 to 16, and March 17 to April 19
- Flights from Puerto Rico and international destinations are valid between Dec. 3 and May 22, but excluded from Dec. 28 to Jan. 6, Feb. 21 to 23, and March 14 to April 27
