Quick Thoughts

Saving 20% on Southwest flights is a good deal, especially since it’s valid on both one-way and round trip flights and you can book Wanna Get Away or Wanna Get Away Plus fares. Note that the sale is valid for flights in the continental U.S. only, so should exclude routes to Hawai’i or the Caribbean. Orange County (SNA) is also excluded.

If you have any existing reservations booked using Southwest Rapid Rewards points, check how much those flights are now pricing out when using the MAX20 promo code. If they’re cheaper when using the promo code, you can cancel your existing reservation(s) with no penalty and get those points back to immediately rebook using the award sale.

This award sale is due to run through June 30th, but it’d be best to book ASAP. The promotion will likely prove to be very popular, so with people potentially making speculative bookings, the number of points required for any given redemption could increase over the next couple of days, thus negating some of the benefits from this award sale.

I have some existing bookings between the US and Mexico, with a connection at SNA both ways – but the code still worked. So, maybe worth checking your reservations even if they technically shouldn’t qualify…

Thanks for being first to get this word out. Just rebooked my wife’s August trip to CA (that I booked this morning) and saved 4300 miles.

Tim: great move on the FRA-ZRH train.
