Get up to 30% off Southwest fares and 45% off Breeze fares
There are two more working days left, so we present two deals for you to consider.
The first is from Southwest Airlines, and it offers 30% off base fares for travel from March through May. The second is from Breeze Airways, and it features up to 45% off base fares for flights from March through September.
Here's what you need to know.
Southwest Airlines deal: 30% off base fares
Deal basics
Airline: Southwest Airlines
Routes: Across the Southwest network
How to book: Directly through the airline using the promo code "30SPLASH"
Travel dates: March 18-May 21; exact dates depend on route
Book by: Feb. 27 at 11:59 p.m. PST
Sample flights
This deal is valid for discounted flights across Southwest's network when you use the promo code "30SPLASH" during booking. You'll know the promo code has been applied when the green banner indicates so.
For example, in late March, you could book a round-trip flight from Chicago Midway International Airport (MDW) to LaGuardia Airport (LGA) for $168 round-trip with two discounted one-way fares.
This sale includes Wanna Get Away and Wanna Get Away Plus fares. These allow travelers two free checked bags, one free carry-on bag and one personal item. These tiers also include free inflight entertainment and messaging.
If you are unable to find your desired routes as advertised and you have some flexibility, try playing around with your dates. It's also possible that the advertised rate is no longer available to book. You can change or cancel your flight up to 10 minutes before departure. Just note that if you cancel a Wanna Get Away trip, you will receive a flight credit in lieu of a refund.
Southwest does not typically specify sale routes, so use the promo code to search for your desired locations and travel dates. This deal is valid for Rapid Rewards bookings.
Breeze Airways deal: 40% off base fares
Deal basics
Airline: Breeze Airways
Routes: Across the Breeze network
How to book: Directly through the airline using the promo code "ESCAPE"
Travel dates: March 5-Sept. 2; exact dates depend on the route
Book by: Feb. 28 at 11:59 p.m. EST
Sample flights
Breeze Airways is offering discounted flights up to 40% through the end of the week with the promo code "ESCAPE" during checkout. For example, you could book a round-trip flight from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) to Provo Airport (PVU) in March for $311. Since the promo code only applies to base fares, it only yielded roughly $50 in savings; this flight remains rather expensive due to the more than $111 in taxes and fees.
Also, keep in mind that Breeze charges for seat selection, and its cheapest fare type, the No Flex Fare, only permits passengers one personal item that can fit underneath the seat in front of them. Full-size carry-on items are $30, while checked bags range from $35 to $65.
This deal is much more restrictive than Southwest's, in part due to the Breeze network. See here for a list of Breeze routes.
Maximize your purchase
If you book this deal, use a credit card that earns bonus points on airfare purchases, such as:
- American Express® Gold Card: Earn 3 points per dollar spent on airfare when booked directly with the airline or through amextravel.com.
- The Platinum Card® from American Express: Earn 5 points per dollar spent on airfare when booked directly with the airline or through American Express Travel® (on up to $500,000 of these purchases per calendar year, then 1 point per dollar).
- Chase Sapphire Reserve® (see rates and fees): 8 points per dollar on all Chase Travel℠ purchases and 4 points per dollar on flights booked directly through the airline
- Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card (see rates and fees): Earn 2 points per dollar spent on travel.
Bottom line
If you have a specific route in mind, it's worth checking to see if it's included in either of these sales. I would focus your efforts on the Southwest sale, given its stronger route network and Breeze's exorbitant fees.
