You'll see the discount reflected in all the fares. For this particular example, you could upgrade to Southwest's new "Wanna Get Away Plus" fare class for only $14 and unlock additional points earnings, transferable flight credits if you change your flight and free same-day changes.

SOUTHWEST


All Southwest tickets come with one carry-on bag and two checked bags, regardless of fare class. Fares are not refundable unless you book an "Anytime" or "Business Select" ticket, but you can receive credit for the flight as long as you cancel at least 10 minutes before the flight's original scheduled departure time.
