For example, you could book round-trip tickets for travel from Chicago’s Midway International Airport (MDW) to Denver International Airport (DEN) in late August for less than $150. A green price tag and banner at the top indicate sale fares.

Southwest’s Wanna Get Way and Wanna Get Away Plus fares are both on sale. As is always the case with any Southwest ticket, you can bring up to two checked bags at no extra cost, one carry-on and one personal item. You can also enjoy free inflight entertainment and messaging.

If you have a change of plans, you can change or cancel an itinerary 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.

This sale includes flights across the Southwest network (except for SNA, which serves the Orange County area) for travel through November. Search your desired routes for up to 20% off flights.
