Southwest Airlines is giving travelers an extra reason to say “wow” when planning a vacation.
The Dallas-based airline recently announced the «Save WOW» fare sale, with deals up to 40 percent off base fares. Best of all, the sale covers flights through March 2025 to several popular destinations, making it a perfect option for travelers looking for a fall, winter, and even early spring getaway.
The fare sale runs from now through October 3, 2024 at 11:59 p.m.
PST. Travelers can utilize the fare sale by entering the code SAVEWOW when booking airfare on Southwest's <a href=«https://www.southwest.com/air/booking/index.html?departureDate=2024-10-29&departureTimeOfDay=ALL_DAY&promoCode=SAVEWOW&returnDate=2024-11-02&returnTimeOfDay=ALL_DAY&src=» https: data-component=«link» data-source=«inlineLink» data-type=«externalLink» data-ordinal=«1» rel=«nofollow»>website
.Individuals should carefully view the sale’s terms, as there are several date restrictions, including blocked out days for domestic and international flights during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday travel stretch.
Travel + Leisure spotted deals available from Dallas, TX (Love Field) to Orlando, FL for $154 with the promotion code applied, where the original fare was $213. Another example is a flight from Burbank, CA to San Antonio, TX for only $192 with the promotion applied, where it would be $267 without the promotion.
The fare sale is part of Southwest's Week of Wow, which has additional offers such as half-off purchases of Rapid Rewards points, and bonus points on hotel bookings.
Southwest is also offering double points on bookings for cruises, through the airline's new Southwest Cruises booking site.
«Our highly-anticipated Week of WOW provides Customers with some of our best travel deals for fall and winter travel, turning those 'wanna getaways' into 'gonna get away’,” Southwest’s Vice President of Marketing Jennifer Bridie said in a news release.

A popular low-cost air airline is expanding globally. Southwest Airlines recently announced a partnership to offer international flights by partnering with carriers who operate international fights in Southwest markets. “Southwest is formalizing partnerships with international carriers to expand its network and connect Customers with more global destinations to generate additional demand for travel across the Southwest network,” Southwest shared in a news release. The launch of this new international flight program will take place in 2025, with Icelandair as the first partner airline, and will depart from the Baltimore, MD (BWI) airport. There, travelers can fly on Icelandair to Iceland, where they can connect to a variety of European destinations including Paris, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Berlin, Dublin, Oslo, Prague, Rome, and more. Icelandair is a discount carrier that operates international flights, and similar to Southwest, does not have a first or business class section on their aircraft. “The partnership will unlock many exciting travel options for our customers, and our extensive network in Europe will open for Southwest customers,” Icelandair President and CEO Bogi Nils Bogason said in a statement. “As part of our strategic focus on expanding our global partnership network, we seek out airlines known for exceptional service and connectivity.” As an example, a traveler would start their journey on Southwest from Nashville to Baltimore, and then continue on Icelandair from Baltimore to Iceland.
