Southwest is back at it again with a fall travel sale, offering discounted rates for bookings Sept. 24 through Sept. 26, 2019. This time, travel is valid from Oct. 8, 2019 through March 4, 2020, though blackout dates apply.
Excitingly, the fare sale includes Southwest’s interisland flights in Hawaii, many of which are ringing in at the $39 mark. All fares are nonrefundable, although Southwest does allow you to put nonrefundable travel credit toward a future flight within one year of the original purchase date. Travel also needs to be booked more than 14 days in advance for U.S. travel and 21 days for Puerto Rico and international flights, so keep that in mind when searching.
And if you’ve already made a reservation through Southwest and later find that the price of the ticket has decreased, you can request the difference in fare with no change fees. Also remember that Southwest award redemptions are tied to the ticket’s price, so this is a prime opportunity to use Southwest points for a cheap trip. You can transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards points to Southwest instantly at a 1:1 ratio.
