Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
To maximize award availability with Southwest Airlines, book your flights for travel during off-peak seasons, specifically from mid-January to mid-February for routes like Los Angeles to San Francisco, as demand is typically lower during this time.
Sweet Spot
A fantastic redemption is flying from Los Angeles to Hawaii for just 35,000 Southwest Rapid Rewards points one-way, which typically costs around $400 in cash.
Routing Trick
By booking a multi-city itinerary that includes a stopover in Las Vegas on a route from Los Angeles to New York (LAX to JFK), you can save up to 1,200 miles compared to booking a direct flight, as the direct flight is approximately 2,500 miles, while the multi-city route with a stopover can be around 1,300 miles.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines on routes such as Las Vegas to Los Angeles, as they charge up to $65 for a carry-on bag and $50 for checked luggage, which can significantly increase your travel costs.
