Conclusion
Southwest fare sales usually have good deals if you have any travel plans coming up. With a Southwest Companion Pass this offer gets twice as good. Make sure to maximize your credit card rewards. Use Amex Platinum that offers 5x MR on airfare, Chase Sapphire Reserve for 3x UR on travel, or Citi Prestige for 3x TYP on airfare.
Fares are nonrefundable but may be applied toward future travel on Southwest Airlines, as long as reservations are canceled at least ten minutes prior to the scheduled departure.
You can also book these fares with Southwest points, but there’s been a devaluation starting recently. It affects their Wanna get away fares which have been increased by 6% (from 72-74 points per $ to 76-78).
Also keep in mind that Southwest has been hit with some major delays and cancellations lately as they ramp up engine inspections following the deadly explosion on the Dallas-bound Flight 1380 last week.
