Hello all you world travelers out there today!
We are going to be looking at how to get cheap flights with Southwest Airlines lately
I've been talking to a lot of people about getting cheap flights and today
I'd like to show you how we find them on Southwest we don't always fly with Southwest Airlines
However every time we have we've been happy, and we've got some great deals over the years
Southwest Airlines has a rate class called wanna getaway, which includes two suitcases as well as your carry-on luggage
You're not getting nickeled and dimed like every other carrier paying $50 for this bag
Or it's overweight that sort of thing I mean they do
You're allowed up to 50 pounds per bag currently
And two of them so which is great
They also provide a non-alcoholic beverage on the plane light snacks cookies not that sort of thing they have Wi-Fi on the plane you do
Pay I believe for the internet portion, but you can connect your phone watch live TV that sort of thing
There's a tracker of where you are in the sky
Southwest Airlines has a fleet of Boeing
737s there their seats are quite comfortable, I'm 6 foot 2 and I fit in them quite. Well. I've flown with other low-cost
Carriers, and it just seems so squishy, so I've been very happy when I when I fly with them so first off
We're gonna go here
to Southwest calm and
The screen should come up looking like this
Today why don't we select Seattle which is close the city to where we're at and?
We will put in Los Angeles for our destination so lax
So what we'll do is first off well just leave the dates the same as they are today
And we're gonna hit the search button here
over on the right hand side
So the next thing you're gonna want to do is click on this low-fare calendar
Also, sometimes it'll say flexible rates
so click on that and
A calendar is gonna. Pop up, so
What we're gonna do let's just use August for example, so I'll click here on August near the top and
The calendar is gonna. Come up. That shows your departing flight as well as your return flight
So you can see there's several different dates on there. There's they range from?
$79 so what you're gonna find is your Tuesdays Wednesdays Thursdays
Sometimes even Saturdays are your lowest rates?
Fridays and Sundays tend to be the most expensive, so why don't we select on the?
14th here for our departing flight and
The 21st for our return flight you can go ahead and click continue down at the bottom here, so
What's gonna come up is several different classes, so you've got your business class your anytime class
And this is the one for getting great rates as this want to get away class
So what you'll see you can these are all the flights for that specific day
For your for your departure, and then your return flight
So you can go through here and say we want to we want to go first thing in the morning so you can select this
$79 flight and you do earn points as well and then scroll down you can select your return flight
So we'll come back at
855 in the morning, so we'll select that one you can scroll down to the bottom here and click
continue
So one another thing to remember is the wanna get away fares are non-refundable
And you need to check in 24 hours in advance to get your boarding number
So the way Southwest Airlines works is that you get your number when you check in and you stand in line in that order to?
Board the plane it is a first-come first-served basis for the seats once you are on the plane
We have found that when we check in 24 hours in advance
We've had no problems being able to sit together for the two of us this may not always be the case how
So they do give you a $15.00
Option that you can add on to your ticket
Which gives you they check you in automatically and you get priority seating you end up near the beginning when we've done this
We've gotten really good seats. We've even had the option to sit in the front row
So back here on the screen if you look here's your total price from Seattle to Los Angeles
Is a hundred and fifty six dollars and sixty cents the fare breakdown is
$55 and 81 cents before tax each direction, which is really cheap
When it includes two suitcases there's other airlines that will charge you $50 or more?
Per suitcase that includes your suitcases and your carry-on if you select here. There's a show price breakdown you can click on that
Shows all your taxes and fees your September 11 Security fee that sort of thing
quite a good deal, so
The other thing that you might want to look at here if you want to do some
Exploring if you go back to the beginning just click on the Southwest logo here
They also under the flight tab here at the top. You can click on that and on the left
There's something called route map if you want to do some exploring with them
You can just punch in your city here
so if I select Seattle
You can just
You can zoom around on the map you can select like Denver for example and search flights
Then you can go ahead and punch in your dates that sort of thing so there's a lot of exploring you can do there I
