Southwest's 40 percent off base fares looks most useful for travelers who can find one of the reduced seats and want to stretch points or stack with a companion pass window. The sale appears to have been repeated before, and more seats seem to be available this round. Some routes still price the same as before, and several fares are described as no longer competitive versus Delta, United, or American. It is a narrow fare sale that works best when the discount actually applies.

  • The sale window reportedly overlaps with a previously run Companion Pass promotion, which may allow stacking if eligible fares are found.

  • The reduced-rate seats reportedly expanded compared with prior runs of the same promotion.

  • Canceling and rebooking reportedly helped recover 3,500 points on already purchased fares.

  • Some travelers reportedly prefer Southwest's newer boarding procedures.

  • The promotion reportedly appears very limited and may not apply to every fare you search.

  • Southwest reportedly charges much higher cash and point costs than other airlines for similar trips, reducing value.

  • Southwest reportedly becomes noncompetitive on price versus other carriers for certain routes, including a Vegas example.

  • The Houston to Phoenix itinerary reportedly showed no price drop compared with the prior week.

SWA is complete trash now. Got a flight to Vegas on American because SWA was $300 higher. They are not even competitive on price anymore unless you get the non refundable seats.
