Southwest Airlines Promo Code for 50% Off
Now through June 6, 2025, Southwest flyers can use the promo code “WOWZERS” to save up to 50% off the base fare of revenue or award flights. This sale applies to qualifying one-way or round-trip Basic and Wanna Get Away Plus fares booked through Southwest channels.
That sounds great at first. However, travel is only valid on certain days of the week and requires a 21-day advance purchase — which can make it challenging to find a discounted fare that works for you. Plus, Southwest is known to avoid discounting its cheapest fares, which defeats the purpose of a promo code.

How Effective Is This Southwest Airlines Promo Code?
Southwest rolls out promo codes pretty frequently, but not every deal is a slam dunk. While these offers are often limited to higher-priced fares, that wasn’t the case this time. On most routes we tested, the “WOWZERS” code applied to the lowest-priced Basic and Wanna Get Away Plus fares.
The biggest catch, though, is that it’s tough to find a true 50% discount. Still, there are solid savings to be had. Here are some sample fares and the percent discounts we’re seeing:
| Route | Lowest Cash Cost | Cash Percent Savings | Lowest Points Cost | Points Percent Savings |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Los Angeles (LAX) to Las Vegas (LAS) | Basic: $32 Wanna Get Away Plus: $47 | Basic: 34.7% Wanna Get Away Plus: 40.5% | Basic: 2,000 points + $5.60 Wanna Get Away Plus: 2,000 points + $5.60 | Basic: 33.3% Wanna Get Away Plus: 33.33% |
| Seattle (SEA) to Chicago (MDW) | Basic: $55 Wanna Get Away Plus: $75 | Basic: 42.1% Wanna Get Away Plus: 44.4% | Basic: 3,500 points + $5.60 Wanna Get Away Plus: 4,500 points + $5.60 | Basic: 36.4% Wanna Get Away Plus: 43.8% |
| Dallas (DAL) to Fort Lauderdale (FLL) | Basic: $92 Wanna Get Away Plus: $127 | Basic: 8.9% Wanna Get Away Plus: 46.9% | Basic: 5,500 points + $5.60 Wanna Get Away Plus: 10,000 points + $5.60 | Basic: 8.3% Wanna Get Away Plus: 47.4% |
| San Diego (SAN) to Honolulu (HNL) | Basic: $164 Wanna Get Away Plus: $195 | Basic: 26.1% Wanna Get Away Plus: 27.0% | Basic: 13,000 points + $5.60 Wanna Get Away Plus: 15,500 points + $5.60 | Basic: 27.8% Wanna Get Away Plus: 27.9% |
How to Get More Southwest Points

AwardWallet data shows that transfers are typically instant. Alternatively, you can transfer several types of hotel points to Southwest, including Marriott Bonvoy points at a 3:1 transfer ratio:

Our Take
Southwest's new up-to-50%-off fare sale is yours to take advantage of through June 6, 2025. While there are deals to be found, the terms are a mile long — and the cheapest fares fall into the Basic category, which means they can't be changed. But if you want to test your luck, don’t forget to apply the “WOWZERS” promo code.

The SAVE25NOW promo is only good for reward bookings. When I tried to use it to purchase a ticket I received this message: “The discount code entered can only be used on reservations booked with points. To complete your reservation using your discount code, please book using points.”
Hi Ken, thanks for this note. We made an update.
Because Southwest did the above promotion, I wonder if that means they will sort of do the above promotion INSTEAD of the companion pass promotion they did the past two years in which you bought a roundtrip (or two one-way) ticket for a flight mid-September through mid-November, then you had the companion pass for the first approximately two months of the following year.
The promo says only on roundtrip and you need to put in the promo code. I got the same exact price for one way without the promo code. Still a good deal. Thanks.
Thanks for pointing that out! I didn’t check one-ways as the terms said a roundtrip was required.
Thank you for revealing the secrets of the Southwest promotion!
Was able to snag tickets from TX to Hawaii for $139 per person each way
Awesome!
Una buena promoción!
Thanks! I was able to rebook some upcoming travel for a better rate
It seems still a little bit more expensive than the special discount.
Is this promotion available from Argentina? Thank you
Yes! It’s available to all Rapid Rewards members.
Hope these good deals continue later in the year. It’s going to be a free for all as people start traveling.
I don’t know if Southwest is still providing limited center seats to prevent Covid
Not a chance, but at least I can use my drink coupons
Great information! Love getting all promotions through this blog!!!
I wish they allow rebooking of flights without having to cancel it and then book again. This just seems unnecessary.
Incredible
Again, very impressive from Southwest! Alongside Delta they’ve been generous in terms of these types of promotions
Creo que es muy interesante conocer el estado de estas cuentas a través de este blog.
excelente aerolinea, muy feliz de viajar con ellos!
Very nice. That’s what I need. Thanks.
I’m glad airlines are starting to have promotions for using reward points. I’m waiting for delta to have one as I have a lots with them.
So cheap price to redeem a flight ticket. Have no cancel or change fee. that’s can be allow me to lock a trip first. and if i can’t go , i can cancel this ticket without any missing.
I love SW, I ‘m going to look into this for a trip to LA.
What’s amazing price to redeem a ticket ? Cheaper than AA 5K one way trip. I’d like to buy some Southwest point to redeem a return ticket. Great
I am so happy I didn’t book yet…going to check this out right away to get this great deal. And as a side note, Southwest Airlines is one of my favorite airlines to fly.
