(EXPIRED) Southwest: Use promo code BEACHES to save up to 30% on flights to/from Hawaii, Mexico, Caribbean & Central America

Southwest is running a sale at the moment that’s good on both paid and award flights to/from Hawaii, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central America. Promo code BEACHES gives you up to 30% off, but there are lots of blackout dates and not all flights on non-blackout dates are eligible either. Still, it could save you a decent amount of money and/or points if your trip plans align with this promo.

Quick Thoughts

Unfortunately not all routes are eligible even if the places you want to fly are listed above. For example, if you’re flying out of Denver there’s a list of nine eligible destinations, but Kona is the only airport in Hawaii that’s eligible – Lihue, Honolulu, etc. won’t provide any kind of discount.

You could still save a good chunk of change (or points) if you do find participating routes and dates. For example, if flying from Denver to Montego Bay in November you could save up to $74 on paid flights:

As always with Southwest promotions, when a code discounts paid tickets it also discounts award tickets booked with Rapid Rewards points:

If you’re interested in this sale you’ll have to move fast as flights have to be booked by tonight (August 27). Also remember to check any existing bookings you have in case those flights can be repriced at a lower amount by taking advantage of the promo code.
