Thinking about a vacation? Stop thinking and go for it. Southwest just dropped a deal offering 30% off select flights, but you have to act fast. There are some restrictions, of course, but if you play by the rules, you can snag a great deal and save on your next trip.
What is the 30% off code for Southwest?
First things first: the sale ends at 11:59pm PST on Thursday, May 1. That's today, so hop to it. Use the promo code SUMMER30 when booking new Wanna Get Away or Wanna Get Away Plus fares on eligible routes.
What are the sale restrictions?
As with all airfare deals, there’s fine print. The sale applies to travel between May 20 and October 2 for flights within the continental U.S., August 17 through October 3 for Hawaii and Puerto Rico routes and May 20 through July 2 for interisland Hawaii flights. Availability is also limited: flights during peak travel times or holidays may not be eligible. The biggest catch is that the discount only applies on certain days, depending on where you're flying.
The easiest way to see if your itinerary qualifies for the sale fare is to plug in SUMMER30 before searching on Southwest.com. Eligible discounts will appear as a strike-through on the original fare.
Bottom line: If your summer or fall plans include a trip—and a flexible travel schedule—you could score serious savings. You might not get to hang out at a soccer field-sized lounge at the world's busiest airport when you fly Southwest, but you can certainly save. Just don't wait, because this sale ends tonight.
