Southwest Airlines is getting into the Halloween spirit with a spooktacular sale offering one-way fares as low as $39.
The sale, which must be booked by 11:59 pm PT on November 2, is available for travel from November 23 through May 22, 2024, according to the airline. While there are some blackout dates, the sale includes travel within the United States over the Thanksgiving holiday, which falls on 23 November, as well as Christmas Day and New Year’s Day.
The sale is blacked out in the contiguous US on 26 December, 27 December and 2 January, travel to and from Orange County is also blacked out from 23 November to 2 January, while travel from the contiguous US to Hawaii, Puerto Rico and international destinations is blacked out from 19 December to 3 January and from 12 March to 27 March.
“Plan a getaway with your boo!” Southwest wrote about the sale on X, the site formerly known as Twitter.
For just $39, travellers can fly from Atlanta to Louisville, Los Angeles to Las Vegas, New Orleans to Austin, San Diego to Sacramento and more. Travellers can also fly cross-country for less with flights from New York to Palm Springs starting at just $159 one-way, and one-way flights from Los Angeles to Charleston also starting at just $159.
Or plan a beach getaway with one-way flights from Los Angeles to Los Cabos from as low as $206, one-way flights from Fort Lauderdale to Puerto Vallarta from as low as $246 and one-way flights from New York to Cancun from as low as $254.
The sale comes just days after Southwest, which is in the process of upgrading its in-flight experience, announced brand-new routes to the Caribbean, Mexico and beyond for next summer. Starting in June 2024, the airline will offer nonstop service between Orlando and Cancun, Grand Cayman, Nassau, Providenciales in the Turks and Caicos Islands, Punta Cana and San José, Costa Rica.
It also comes amid changes to Southwest’s loyalty programme, with the airline making it easier for customers to earn status in 2024. In addition, for a limited time, Southwest is making it easier to earn its popular Companion Pass by offering double Companion Pass qualifying points on those flights to registered travellers who fly through 30 November.
