Taking some Southwest international flights has been on my mind lately.Ā With all the snow and gloomy weather here in the northern United States, I would like to get somewhere warm, at least for a little bit!
Because I have the Southwest Companion Pass, which lets my wife fly for free no matter if I book a paid or award ticket, they are definitely one of the first places I check when we want / need to go somewhere.
Southwest flies to several international locations, but for whatever reason, the list of which locations have Southwest international flights is hard to come across via Google.Ā I have the same problem trying to find the IHG Point Breaks list.
(READ: Why is the Priority Club / IHG Pointbreaks list so hard to find?!?)
Eventually, I came across their route map, which has the information, but I thought it would be nice to have it in a more readable format.Ā This information does change, but as of 1/6/2017Ā this is accurate.

I have been floored at how affordable southwest’s international flights are. Definitely the way to go for Caribbean/mexico locations.
Especially with the Companion Pass. 24K for 2 people to go to the Caribbean roundtrip? That’s pretty much impossible to beat
Yea but getting from Phoenix to an airport you can go international from is a hose job.
just a shout out: thanks! this is perfect/useful/indeed-very-readable š
trying to plan some father-daughter 6 months of freedom trip (and CA had that very sweet companion pass credit card offer)
p.s. have you been to any of the int’l locations that you’d recommend?
