This sale applies to qualifying one-way or round-trip Basic, Choice, Choice Preferred, and Choice Extra fares booked through Southwest channels.<\/p>\n<p>That sounds great at first. However, travel is only valid on certain days of the week and there are a few blackout dates to contend with, 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 negates the value of the promo code.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_259082\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-aspectratio=\"750\/213\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-259082 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/WN-Flowers.png\" alt=\"Screenshot of Southwest Airlines promo code banner.\" width=\"750\" height=\"213\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/WN-Flowers.png 2340w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/WN-Flowers-750x213.png 750w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/WN-Flowers-900x256.png 900w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/WN-Flowers-768x219.png 768w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/WN-Flowers-1536x437.png 1536w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/WN-Flowers-2048x583.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><center><em>Screenshot of Southwest Airlines<\/em><\/enter><\/figure>\n<h3><span id=\"Southwest_promo_code_key_details\">Southwest promo code key details<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Promo code:<\/strong> <strong>FLOWERS<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Discount:<\/strong> Up to 40% off base fare (excludes taxes and fees)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Book by: <\/strong>April 23, 2026, at 11:59 PM PT<\/li>\n<li><strong>Travel period:\u00a0<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Continental U.S.:<\/strong> May 10 through June 10, 2026; August 11 through September 30, 2026<\/li>\n<li><strong>Interisland Hawaii:<\/strong> May 10 through June 10, 2026<\/li>\n<li><strong>Continental U.S. to\/from international, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico:<\/strong> August 11 through September 30, 2026<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Advance purchase requirement:<\/strong> None specified<\/li>\n<li><strong>Blackout dates:<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Continental U.S.:<\/strong> May 21, May 22, May 25, September 4, and September 7, 2026<\/li>\n<li><strong>Continental U.S. to\/from international, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico:<\/strong> September 4 and September 7, 2026<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Days travel is valid:<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Continental U.S.:<\/strong> Monday\u2013Saturday<\/li>\n<li><strong>Interisland Hawaii:<\/strong> Monday\u2013Thursday<\/li>\n<li><strong>Continental U.S. \u2192 Hawaii\/international:<\/strong> Sunday\u2013Wednesday<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hawaii\/international \u2192 Continental U.S.:<\/strong> Tuesday\u2013Friday<\/li>\n<li><strong>Puerto Rico routes:<\/strong> Monday\u2013Thursday<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Route exclusions: <\/strong>Anchorage, Aruba, and St. Thomas excluded<\/li>\n<li><strong>Eligibility:<\/strong> Valid on cash or Rapid Rewards bookings (all fare classes); discount applies to new reservations only; changes to the itinerary after purchase will eliminate promotion eligibility<\/li>\n<li><strong>Where to book: <\/strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/Southwest.com\" rel=\"noopener\">Southwest.com<\/a> or <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/swabiz.com\" rel=\"noopener\">Swabiz.com<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Southwest Airlines recently <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/news\/southwest-rapid-rewards\/southwest-adds-basic-fares-bag-fees\/\" rel=\"noopener\">overhauled its fare structure<\/a> and introduced <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/airlines\/southwest-rapid-rewards\/southwest-baggage-fees\/\" rel=\"noopener\">fees for checked bags<\/a> and seat selection.
