If travel is in your plans for the first half of 2020, then you may want to check out Southwest’s final sale of 2020. The airline is offering deep discounts on some one-way flights today, with flights from the continental U.S. and Hawaii running as low as $39 and flights within the continental U.S. coming in as low as $49.
You can search the sale-specific prices here.
Like all great sales, there are a pretty decent amount of caveats to this one. Tickets will need to be purchased at least 14 days in advance in order to be eligible for the sale price, 21 days if you plan on traveling to San Juan, Puerto Rico.
In cases where the route has a nonstop, the discounted fare is only for that non-stop (which should be good news), otherwise, you’ll only be able to get the discount on fares with one stop between you and your destination.
And travel has to happen between January 14th and May 20, 2020. Additionally, the discounted fares only apply to certain travel days and markets.
U.S. travel is not valid on Fridays and Sundays. Travel to Ft. Myers/Naples, Ft. Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, Tampa, Orlando, and Las Vegas and from Ft. Myers/Naples, Ft. Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, Tampa, Orlando to Las Vegas is valid only on Sundays through Wednesdays. Travel from Ft. Myers/Naples, Ft. Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, Tampa, Orlando and Las Vegas and from Las Vegas to Ft. Myers/Naples, Ft. Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, Tampa, and Orlando is valid only on Tuesdays through Fridays. Interisland Hawaii travel is valid Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Travel to/from San Juan, Puerto Rico is valid Monday - Thursday.
It’s a lot of restrictions, for sure, but a quick search from my home in San Francisco brought up a number of options as well.
Worth noting: Southwest is one airline where you can change your flights without paying a change fee. That means if you book a flight for April now and then realize you can’t take it, or need to fly a different time, you’ll be able to cancel the flight or move it around at no charge.
If you cancel the flight, the amount you pay for a ticket now will be a Southwest credit to use on a future flight. If you change your flight, you’ll have to pay the difference in fare between the ticket you buy now and the ticket you get later. That said, there’s a chance Southwest might have another sale between now and your travel dates, so you might even be able to rebook for even cheaper a few months for now and pocket a little Southwest credit along the way.
It’s a pretty low-risk buy as plane tickets go, and worth a look if you have travel aspiration in the new year.
