Booking Your Trip

We Can Get You Where You Want To Go

The sky's the limit when you fly Southwest Airlines. Combined, Southwest and AirTran serve 97 destinations in the United States, Mexico, and the Caribbean, and our route map continues to expand.

Flexible Fares Just For You

Once you're ready to book a Southwest flight, you'll notice that we offer a choice of three flexible fares--and remember, change fees don't fly with us (though fare differences may apply).

Wanna Get Away Fare
This is our lowest fare. Although this fare isn't refundable, if you need to cancel your trip, 100% of your ticket value can still be applied to future travel for up to 12 months.

Anytime Fare
With this fare, if you have a change of plans and need to cancel your flight, you'll receive 100% of your ticket value as a refund to your original form of payment when booking this fully-refundable fare.

Business Select Fare
Business Select®* is our most rewarding, completely refundable fare. You'll receive Priority Boarding, access to our Priority Ticket Counter and Security Lanes, and a premium drink ($5 value), and maximum Rapid Rewards Points.

*If you purchase a Business Select fare for a shared itinerary, you will receive Business Class on your AirTran operated flight.

Earlybird Check-InAdd EarlyBird Check-InSM** to your reservation of a Wanna Get Away Fare or Anytime Fare, and we'll take care of check-in for you. With automatic check-in, you'll get improved seat selection and earlier access to overhead storage. For only $12.50 one-way, it's a more convenient way to travel.

**EarlyBird Check-In is only available on itineraries marketed through Southwest channels and segments operated by Southwest

Traveling With 10 or More?

If you're traveling with a group of 10 or more people, our Group Travel Program*** is for you. The program provides extra flexibility and discounted air fare to help make your entire group's travel experience affordable, easy, and fun.

*** Shared itineraries, or AirTran-only itineraries booked through Southwest channels, cannot be purchased for Groups.
