Making the Most of the Sale
While these deals are tempting, it’s worth remembering that the cheapest fares often come with less flexibility. The “Wanna Get Away” fare class, while budget-friendly, may have more restrictions than other options.
As always, it’s wise to compare these sale prices with other airlines and consider factors like baggage fees and change policies before booking. Southwest’s generous baggage allowance (two free checked bags) could make their deals even more attractive for those planning longer trips.
