Deal basics

Sample flights

Use Southwest’s Low Fare Calendar with the promo code applied to search for your desired route. I did a quick search for flights from California to Hawaii. I wouldn’t say there were a ton of available deals, but I did find a few dates with discounts using either cash or Southwest Rapid Rewards points. Here’s a fare calendar for August flights from Long Beach to Maui. You’ll save about $70 on this round-trip flight, which comes in around $385.

You could book that same discounted flight with points, too. A round-trip flight that would normally cost you 32,000 Rapid Rewards points can be had during the sale for 25,500 Rapid Rewards points plus $11.20 in taxes and fees.
