Southwest Airlines Price Change Will Be Welcomed By Passengers
(CTN News) – At the present time, Southwest Airlines (LUV) has an offer that may have a significant impact on passengers’ travel spending during the next year.
It is common knowledge among frequent flyers that comparing departure and return fares within a few days of the desired travel date is one way of reducing the cost of airline tickets.
Also, it is advisable to check routes that have longer travel times and lengthy layovers in order to save money.
Using credit card points as a means of reducing the price of tickets is another strategy. Travel experts say Southwest Airlines’ offer is one of the most attractive deals available for domestic travel.
Travelers who do not currently hold a Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards credit card, or who have not received a new member bonus within the past two years, are eligible to apply for one and receive a very good welcome offer that significantly impacts the pricing of Southwest flights.
Travelers can obtain two important benefits
Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards Plus cardholders who apply by March 11 will receive two benefits.
In the first three months following account opening, new cardholders will receive a bonus of 30,000 Rapid Rewards points after spending $4,000 on the card. In addition, they will receive a Southwest Companion Pass, which is valid until February 28, 2025.
Southwest Airlines is very popular among many people due to the fact that you are able to check two free bags, there are no change or cancellation fees, and the vouchers do not expire,” wrote Ben Schlappig on One Mile At A Time.Â
In addition, Southwest Airlines credit cards offer a Companion Pass, which is one of the best deals in domestic travel.”
The Rapid Rewards points alone are worth $360 in my opinion. When you purchase a Companion Pass, you will receive outsized value, since it allows you to travel with someone regardless of whether you are paying cash or redeeming points, and you will pay their taxes and fees as well.”
