Travel Tip:

Low Fares for Flexible Dates

Have some wiggle room with your travel dates? Browse the Low Fare Calendar. Our lowest fares display by month, so you can choose the fare that works best for you.

Choose Which One

When you see all the flights that fit your search, you can sort them to find the perfect flight for you. The flights are displayed from earliest to latest in the day but time of day might not be the most important factor to you. Re-sort the list of flights based on what is important to you. For example, if price is the most important thing, click on the header of the pricing columns to re-order the list from lowest to highest.  Or, maybe you only want to look at nonstop flights. You can re-order that column or click on the Nonstop box in the Narrow Results area. Make sure you find the flight that fits yours needs.

The Right Fare

Southwest has three fare groups - Business Select, Anytime and Wanna Get Away - for the right combination of price and perks.

Ways to Pay

You can pay with major credit cards, unused travel funds, Southwest® LUV vouchers, and Southwest® gift cards at any Southwest ticketing location, including online at Southwest.com. We also accept PayPal® payments on Southwest.com and cash at select Southwest Ticket Counters. Starting 6/3/2020, only the following domestic airports will accept cash at the ticket counter: AMA, BUR, CRP, DAL, DCA, ECP, GEG, GSP, HNL, HRL, ISP, ITO, LAX, LBB, LIH, MAF, MHT, ONT, PHL, PNS, PWM, RDU, SNA, STL, TPA. Starting 7/1/2020, cash will not be accepted at any domestic airport ticket counter. Cash will continue to be accepted at international airport ticket counters.
