Happy birthday, Southwest Airlines! In true Southwest fashion, the low-cost carrier is celebrating with a Week of WOW Sale that delivers big savings across flights, hotels, cruises, and car rentals.
Whether you’re eyeing a fall getaway or trying to rack up points toward the coveted Companion Pass, now is the time to act. Here’s everything you need to know to take advantage of this limited-time celebration.
From June 3–5, 2025, you can save up to 50% off base fares on select domestic U.S. flights. Use promo code WOWZERS when booking travel between August 12 and December 17, 2025. This deal excludes taxes and fees, but if you’re flexible with dates and destinations, the savings are seriously worth it.
Got a Southwest Rapid Rewards Credit Card? From June 3–9, 2025, you can earn 10 points per $1 spent on Southwest purchases, up to $500. These points also count toward earning the Companion Pass, which lets a friend fly with you free (excluding taxes and fees). For frequent Southwest flyers, this could fast-track your way to serious savings in 2025 and beyond.
If flights aren’t your thing, how about a cruise? Southwest is also running a sweepstakes from June 2 to July 31, 2025, with prizes including 500,000 Rapid Rewards points and a Carnival Cruise for two, or 100,000 points for two lucky runners-up. That’s enough for multiple round-trip flights—or a serious start to your travel goals.
Planning a longer stay? From June 3–9, earn 5X points on hotel bookings of three nights or more, or save 5,000 points when booking qualifying stays with points. Perfect for that long weekend or shoulder-season escape.
Don’t forget ground transportation. Book with Dollar rental cars from June 3–9 to save up to 30% and earn 1,200 Rapid Rewards points on rentals of two days or more. Whether you’re hitting the beach or heading out on a road trip, this is a great way to save and earn.
Southwest’s Week of WOW Sale isn’t just about cheap flights—it’s about stacking travel wins. From discounts and bonus points to dream cruise giveaways, this birthday bash brings something for every kind of traveler.
