Sale fares are limited based on availability and applicable to nonstop travel (when available) or a single connecting service. The discount does not cover the $5.60 in taxes and fees that will be charged each way.

Sample flights

Because Southwest generally does not disclose its sale routes, the quickest way to take advantage of this deal is by using the carrier’s Low Fare Calendar to search for your desired route with the promo code “HAWAII40” as shown below.

For example, in late August, you could book round-trip tickets from Chicago’s Midway International Airport (MDW) to Kahului Airport (OGG) on Maui for less than $500. A green price tag and banner at the top will indicate sale fares.

Southwest’s Wanna Get Away and Wanna Get Away Plus fares are both on sale, giving travelers two checked bags at no extra cost as well as one carry-on and one personal item. These tiers also include free inflight entertainment and messaging.

Fares can be changed or canceled up to 10 minutes before departure. However, if you cancel a Wanna Get Away trip, you will receive a flight credit in lieu of a refund.
