Quick Thoughts

Saving 25% on Southwest award 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 pricing is valid between the Continental U.S. and international destinations/Hawaii/Puerto Rico on Sundays through Wednesdays only. The sale applies to travel from international destinations/Hawaii/Puerto Rico to  the Continental U.S. from Tuesdays through Fridays and travel within the Continental U.S. on all days of week.

If you have any existing reservations booked using Southwest Rapid Rewards points, check how much those flights are now pricing out when using the 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 August 19th, 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.

Neither of my flights in this window are repricing, boo

Bill

It is points only (the FM email said cash or points), and I’ve tried multiple city pairs and have yet to find a single flight with this discount. Increasingly typical of these Southwest promos.

Andrew

The Southwest promos are becoming a bit of a joke. Code doesn’t work even for a bunch of short hops to Albuquerque.

Dan

I just booked MCI-ABQ last week for 27,470 RR points and rebooked yesterday for 24,722 with the code for an October flight. Not 25 percent, but I’ll take it.

Eric

This is not for cash booking.

mike wood

I also can’t get this code to work for a cash booking.

Mark

Got an error that says only for points booking. Also Sacramento to Chicago flight is not applicable 9/7
