It's more than just a Cyber Monday deal: Southwest Airlines' latest sale could help you get somewhere for much less this winter. But only if you book soon…
Southwest just its latest sale, teasing all fares at 30% off so long as you book by this Thursday, Dec. 1. These low rates are available for travel from Jan. 10 to March 8.
This sale can help you find some record low fares whether you want to fly for a quick domestic getaway, fly from the West Coast to Hawaii, or nearly anywhere else in the U.S.
Just head to the Southwest sale page and pick your home airport – or simply pull up Southwest's low fare calendar to get a month-long view and find the best deals. The sale promo code is CYBER30, but in most cases the promo code will automatically appear.
Already have a Southwest flight booked for this winter? You can easily rebook it online and pocket the difference as a Southwest credit – and those never expire!
The deals vary wildly from airport to airport, but 30% off the base fare of every flight is built into the price you see when you search with the promo code.
And since using Southwest Rapid Rewards points hinges on the cash price, these lower fares mean you could get an even better deal using points and miles to book a Southwest flight this year or early next. You can even transfer Chase points from cards like the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card, you could easily get the Southwest points you need to take these great deals and make them (nearly) free.
