Southwest Airlines has launched another fare sale; check your email for one titled “This summer sale is heating up.” It’s a very widespread sale, with most cities in the US included, and several international locations as well. This sale expands on the previous one, with travel dates May 21 – June 12, and August 20 – October 30. Prices officially start at $49, but as usual lower prices can be found on many routes by searching the fare calendar.
As always with Southwest, if you’ve previously booked airfare then compare your price with the current sale prices to see if you are eligible for a refund of the price difference. Hawaiian interisland flights are listed as part of the sale, and I see fares from $29 for select dates, but I saw no deals on flights to/from the islands. Still, it’s good that SWA is now adding some mention of Hawaii with their sales. Sale ends on May 2 at 11:59 Pacific, so make your plans now.

Summer begins June 21, so really it is “late Spring” and “early Fall”. WN doesn’t do sales for peak summer travel dates. And should be expecting the famous Anniversary sale soon for fall travel
You’re very right! I was shorthanding but I can always be more specific. Thanks for the feedback!
