Southwest is having a 40% off sale on all their flights. Starting today (06/07) until the end of Thursday (06/09). We began our coverage last night, before the sale was officially announced. Those fares that we already mentioned are still available, but expect prices and availability to fluctuate greatly.
In this post, we’ll provide a list of every fare that we’re seeing that is priced below (or close to) its historical moving averages. This way, you can quickly cut away to the fares that are worthwhile and “really” on sale. List provided on our website in the full blog post (below, if you’re reading the full post now).
Key Notes: Sale covers mid-August to November. Ends Thursday. They provide a coupon-code that you don’t really need to plug in: “FALL40”.
