PointsGobbler Verdict
This is one of the most straightforward Southwest sales we’ve seen, as the elimination of the promo code requirement makes it very easy to verify savings. If you have fall travel plans, especially for mid-week flights which typically see the deepest discounts, check the Southwest site immediately before the July 10 deadline.
Always verify specific flight eligibility and final pricing on the Southwest Airlines website.
