Dreaming of a summer getaway but a little tight on cash? Treat yo' self to a summer or fall getaway. Southwest is offering flights for $55 to celebrate 55 years of service. The deal runs for two days only and applies to eligible one-way or round-trip fares.
The deal, which is only live now through June 18, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. PT, according to the small print on Southwest's website, gives travelers access to many choices for last-minute travel. So if you're considering a spur-of-the-moment summer or fall vacay, this deal is one you should look into, because we're saying yes to jet-set joymaxxing this year.
The stipulations to keep in mind, according to the details on the airline's birthday page, include the requirement to book at least 21 days in advance of your chosen adventure. Additionally, U.S. continental destination flights to Hawaii and Puerto Rico have their own terms. And yes, the special pretty much applies only to Southwest basic fares, so more likely than not, you'll have to pay for those checked bags.
There is wiggle room for perks, as Rapid Rewards members can use their points for eligible promotions. So if you're a part of the airline's loyalty program and have a chunk saved up, it is definitely a good time to use them. According to UpgradedPoints.com, that will break down to "...around 1.1 to 1.5 cents per point from your Rapid Rewards points," and the example given is that a booking from Las Vegas to San Francisco would equate to "3,500 points." That still sounds good to us. We might be looking up to see what we have in our allotment and hop on a plane ourselves. Bookings must be made directly through Southwest's website, not through third-party vendors, so keep that in mind.

What are the best destinations on Southwest's special?
There are plenty of great options to plan those weekend getaways, catch a concert in another city, or finally hang out with your long-distance bestie. Some of the $55 one-way destinations to consider clicking "buy" on are Sacramento to San Diego, Phoenix to Las Vegas, San Diego to Las Vegas, San Jose to San Diego, and Houston Hobby to Las Vegas.
It's a no-brainer that travelers from Texas, California, and Arizona have such a sweet deal to get over to Vegas. Especially since there are so many great shows there this summer. And with the Backstreet Boys concluding their Sphere residency with a summer victory lap, there's not been a better time to get over to Sin City to live larger than life.

There are so many long weekend-worthy escapes just waiting to be booked. It is also worth noting that the promotion covers travel from July 7 through December 16 of this year. To get the best bang for your buck, you'll find the lowest fares on many Sunday through Wednesday departures. But be aware that during Thanksgiving week, specifically from November 24 through the 25, the promotion is blacked out.
