Southwest is offering their discounted ‘Wanna Get Away’ fares at 40% off for bookings made through Thursday and travel between November 28 and December 12 and between January 7 and February 14 using promo code BIGDEAL40.
Sunday travel is excluded, and the following city pairs are ineligible for the discount:
- Austin-Orlando
- Detroit-Phoenix
- Orlando-Phoenix
- Anything to or from Ft. Myers
And if you’re not already a member of Southwest’s Rapid Rewards program, there’s a joining bonus currently.

Interesting thread on flyertalk about how running the sale with a promo code prevents Rapid Rewards members from redeeming their points for the discounted fares. You wouldn’t think a “customer-friendly” airline like Southwest would screw their loyal customers like this, would you?

Seems Virgin America are close to matching this, they also have a 20% off code on their Facebook page, good for travel through Nov 14.
